“It’s quite dense, and I think some of the decisions we made don’t always go in the most obvious direction – sometimes we’d do something in a minor key where you’d expect something bigger or have feedback instead of something that might be more pleasing to the ear. We were thinking a lot more about what we’d want to play when we were up onstage rather than actually what you’d want to hear on a record. If you play it loud and you make it through six or seven songs you’re gonna be pretty tired.”
