Mike points out, �I think it�s slightly more sophisticated in certain ways, but musically it�s all over the place like �Make Yourself� is. It�s some of the heaviest music we�ve ever written, at the same time some of the most beautiful mellow music we�ve ever written. It�s very across the spectrum, which is very cool.�

Brandon: �This arena rock thing is pretty new to us, but we are having a good time. We�re kinda hell bent on the idea of bringing that intimacy that we�ve grown so accustomed to at smaller places into the big room, which is proving to be a pretty big challenge because you�re playing to five times the people. We gotta assume that�s a nice problem to have.�
