Even at the last minute we were still debating what was gonna be released as the first single.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the theme of the album probably was just that it was our first record.
I don't like knowing what the next song is because that's what I'd think about during the number we're playing.
Maybe 'Can't Stop Feeling' and 'Turn It On' we'll just release as singles. It's a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own.
I guess when we were up against it, we knew this album was going to be compared to all the classic early material, because it was going back to the original five.
We toyed with the idea of making it a double album, but I think that would only have confused everybody even more, so we decided to stick with the songs we picked.
We'll only be playing four new songs live, but all the material for the next album is basically finished.
There's a certain kind of motion and pacing that our music has, and this just doesn't have that. We just kind of rushed to the conclusion of most of the songs. I just would've preferred to done them over.
I like to come up with lots of different sounds. So the final version of a song might have been 10 completely different songs before we finally got it right.
We were number one most added at radio, when the single came out and that's much different. It took like eight months for any radio to happen on the first record, so a lot more support has happened right out of the box.
I'm sure if we had made an album that was more traditional would have been released immediately. When we actually play this music on stage and people become familiar with it, it will become more popular.
