“I would never in a million years compare anything we’ve done to anything we’re previously done. I don’t believe in it, I think it’s bad, because you could say ‘oh we’re gonna write the heaviest album of all time or we’re going to write an album that sounds like IOWA’...even if we set out to try to do so it would never compare, we’re not those people anymore, we’re not that band anymore”
