"We wound up just deciding that we should play it to the click, speed up the pauses just a bit. It takes away a little personality but keeps the song tight."

I wouldn't have done that, in though it's a massive pain I would have used the tools in the DAW to change the timing to match the song, and not the other way around.

We talked about it and decided it wasn't worth it at the time. This is early in the pre-production phase so it's totally possible that we'll invest more time after we've rehearsed to it for a few weeks.
