Some people do think the albums are like concept albums when they are not. That’s usually because of the artwork and the strong imagery that we use. What with the booklets and graphics and everything else and stuff like that. People get that impression. I say it with every album it’s the way it is, it’s a pretty simple approach and we try and get together the best collection of songs as best we can at any given time .... and you go with that. I mean you might look at it a year later and go back and think ‘Oh we could have done this or we could have done that’. You may think we could have second guessed this or that and we could have written a better song than that one. However at the time you’re enthusiastic about your stuff and you think that’s the best that you can come out with ..... at that time ...... you just HAVE to go with it. I don’t think you should look back over your shoulder at all, that’s always been our attitude. So that’s something that’s never changed in that respect. I mean that goes for with whatever the line up is, that’s always been the attitude. I hope that clears it up. We write the best collection of songs we can at the time and everything else fits around them .... not the other way around.
