Vocalist Skin commented:
“I don’t care that we were big in the Nineties. Creatively it’s irrelevant because in my rock bible the first commandment states, ‘If thy rest on them laurels, thy shall wither up and die artistically, musically, mentally. And then financially.’
When we write, it’s just the four of us in a room with no outside distractions or interference, getting to know each other again. We’d done the ‘Greatest Hits’ tour and we realized that things needed to change. If we didn’t do something fresh and forward thinking, we couldn’t really be a band anymore. We’d just be doing Skunk karaoke.
When I really think about it, yes, we have made some good records in our time but it’s been a long time since we have made a great album. And that is the painful truth. Understanding that, led us to making what I genuinely think is our greatest record yet.”
