![]() ![]() Sometimes I listen to some of the old Trio stuff - and while I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world - I think "Oh my God, did I really just say that?" I think it might be because there is less literal expressions of anger like dropping a radio in a bathtub and everything is lot more metaphorical and ambigious.Īs much as we want to make something enjoyable to listen to, it's important that we enjoy making it and that we're doing something that is interesting to us. I read a lot of "True Crime" kinda stuff.įor me the songs on this record are still very personal, but I like that you don't hear it that way. I think that it's really interesting reading about others experiences and those things really influenced the writing. It was impossible, and I think getting a little bit older has calmed me down and I'm able to absorb things better. I was just never able to sit still, and while I did well in English, for some reason I couldn't calm myself down enough to read a book. I've been reading a lot more than I have in the past - not that I'm incredibly well read or anything, but it's a lot easier for me to read then it was when we first started. The lyrics though seem to have changed more, and they're less about literal personal experiences, is there something beyond the obvious that affected the way you write? When I first heard the record, I was initially pretty surprised with the sound, but after listening to it a little more, it seems to fit in the context of your other records. So I guess I'm trying to look on the bright side, so to me while it's a little like Christmas is cancelled because the surprise is gone, we were half expecting it, so you can't spend too much time being upset about it. Somehow or another its going to get out and I guess if you make a bad record and it leaks out you're doomed, but if you make a good record and it leaks out, it could be a good thing because people are talking about it. Yeah, it seems inevitable in this day and age. I know that Derek had made some strong statements on the Blood Pact message board about it. It was really fun, there were some disgruntled old school fans there, but a lot of people came out to see us and were singing alongĮven the people who hated us weren't throwing anything so I'd say it was a good time, a success.Ĭrimson was leaked onto the internet remarkably early. It's a good thing and we're excited about the record and it'll be nice to get out and play again because it feels like it's been ages since we played a tour. pullquote So the record is done how do you feel?
