Harris tells Goldmine: "We've always done what we wanted to do right from the first album, so there's no difference there. It's just that we do have difficulty writing short songs these days. I don't know why that is. It's just the way it evolved."

He continues: "There's no real reason besides the fact that we do have all kinds of influences. Some of them being prog kind of stuff. But we're not trying specifically to be like anything other than just writing what the songs we feel are right at the time."
