I told the guys we wouldn't work the rest of the year but I lied. By September I started to write again, I started the writing process in 2011 in September, by June in '12 It was completed. The whole record written, recorded and finished. So it's really a snapshot of that period in time and when you have a snapshot in a period of time, it's also been important to release it timely manner or the subject matter gets old, and so history gives you an opportunity to talk about it and if you want to be relevant to that moment we needed to be back to work. We write in batches of dozens, you know 12, 36 and we usually write 36, 48. And I called Tico in the first dozen, maybe October November
I said, No?. You tell me No?, Why?! Holy Shit! And I don't have another drummer. I said: You're right, I said we're not going to work so you're right! I lied, yeah; I lied. And I got another drummer."
