Nick Jett: I guess we don't really have a strong idea of "we're going to try and do something hugely different compared to our last one," but I guess the slight difference is a little more thought out and structured, like chouruses and just spending a little more time on it, compared to the last one which was a little bit more about trying to capture a raw and rough soud, just jamming in the studio. This time a bunch of songs were written and we picked the twelve that worked best together, just a little bit more thought put into it.
