We knew that we wanted to play heavy music but I hadn't gotten into melody and things like that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
We used to sit around and listen to the radio and not hear anything like the stuff we like, so we decided to play it ourselves.
We love playing music but we're too weird to play music.
We cling nervously to the melody, but we don't handle it freely, we don't really make anything new out of it, we merely overload it.
A lot of our music came out of a lot of weird psychology and weird emotions. When you play the whole body of work, you get tossed all over the place. It's not easy listening. It's not even comfortable to listen to.
Playing music was always a part of my life; I don't know anything else.
We wanted to sit down and conceptually work out songs.
Music became an obsession, and eventually we felt more comfortable with each other then we did with anyone else. The three of us were like one person.
I always felt like there was a certain standard of music that I had to do from the beginning, even when I didn't have the recognition that I have now.
We knew we wanted to put a lot of melody into it - a lot more than what we did on our first album.
