We wanted to try and keep things as live as possible. On the G3 tour we had worked with the Canadian producer Mike Fraser and he captured us in our first month of being a trio, myself, Stu Hamm on bass and Jeff Campitelli on drums. And I wanted to get an album to reflect what was happening within the band and not just me, as well as focusing on the compositions I felt I wanted to write. So the effect of the tour and playing with these musicians every night, they kind of challenge you and that brings your excitement and interest level up. We recorded and worked on the album in a schedule where we on tour, then we wrote the record, then we were on tour, then we recorded the record, went back on tour, mixed the record, went on tour and mastered and put the finishing touches on the record, so a lot of that had a lot of effect and influence on how we reacted to our own performances, the environment of being in the studio and we tried to keep it live and that contributed to the energy level on the record. We're currently hitting the stage with it and playing about 90% of the new album.
