The band commented on the album:

“The theme that kept coming up while working on this record was growth — how writing a song, recording an album, or being in a band is like planting a seed and helping it grow. We think a lot of that had to do with looking back and realizing that over 30 years, we’ve managed to make something special that we all really love.

Everyone spent a lot of time reflecting on the journey that got us here and thinking about what we want the trajectory to be from here on out while making this record. We hope this album feels like a celebration of our history and future to everyone that hears it. That is definitely what it is and how it feels to us.”

Two songs from the record, “Menace” and “Burn Forever”, have already been released and can be found below. Chuck Ragan said the following about “Menace”:

“In this day and age, it’s easy to get caught up in day-to-day frustrations. What isn’t easy all the time is recognizing our ability to choose our mental state. We own the power to slow down enough to be present in our anger, realizing the paths away from hatred and preparing ourselves for the next time we cross ways with menace.”

Chris Wollard also added the following about “Burn Forever”:

“‘Burn Forever’ is about processing grief. Allowing it to happen, and also about the things we learn to help us through it.”
