I wanted to show a different side of ourselves. I wanted to see in what ways I could explore something new. I felt like working on a double record would give people a lot to have.

I feel like every great record is like a world in itself.

Obviously there's so much about me on the Internet that you can turn against me, and you can make me into any person you want.

Somebody who knows all about how to make the record, or how to make records, they know how to work the EQ and they know how to work the stuff, but they don't know what I want it to sound like. So it's just easier for me to do it myself.

I spent my life working before I started band. I worked construction, landscaping. I worked in kitchens, cleaned dishes. I worked demolition.

We were a commodity used by corporations to make their brand look fashionable, but then they used us to keep kids out of venues.

Music journalists are some of the lazy, most uninspired, dull people I've ever met...
