The first full length studio album since 1997.
The band first entered the studio in April 2001 but James going to rehab for
several months put the album on hold.
They finally returned back to the studio in May 2002 and wrote all new material.
Producer Bob Rock filled in the bass lines.
The album also came with a free DVD video of the band rehearsing all 11 songs
in the studio.
Kirk: "It sounds like we made it a very subconscious or unconscious attempt
at like harnessing the speed and energy of the late 80's meshing it with the
melodicism of the 90's. In retrospect it kind of sounds like what we are doing
now - but you knows what's really important. I think we've cracked a code that
we weren't able to in the 90s."
