मुझे लगता है कि इसने हमें ज़्यादा रचनात्मक होने और अपनी मर्जी से काम करने की आज़ादी दी; इसलिए अगर किसी रिकॉर्ड लेबल को यह पसंद आया तो बहुत बढ़िया, और अगर नहीं पसंद आया तो भी कोई बात नहीं। आखिरकार डूबना या तैरना हमारे अपने हाथ में था और हमें यह बताने वाला कोई नहीं था कि हमें किस दिशा में जाना है। मुझे लगता है कि इसी वजह से पूरा एल्बम और भी ज़्यादा विविधतापूर्ण बन पाया।
I think it gave us the freedom to be more creative and do things the way we wanted to do them, so if a label liked it that was cool and if they didn't like it fine. Ultimately it was up to us to sink or swim and there was nobody telling us what direction to go in. I think that made the entire record more diverse.

मुझे लगता है कि इलेक्ट्रॉनिक संगीत के मामले में यह काफी सादा है, लेकिन हम बस ऐसा रिकॉर्ड बनाना चाहते थे जो यह बेहतर ढंग से दर्शा सके कि हम लाइव परफॉर्म करते समय कैसे लगते हैं, जिसमें रॉक संगीत का ज़्यादा अहसास हो, और यही वह दिशा है जिसपर हम आगे बढ़ रहे हैं। यह सालों के दौरान हमारे बैंड का एक क्रमिक विकास है। हमने इस एल्बम पर किसी भी अन्य एल्बम से ज्यादा समय तक काम किया है, इसलिए मुझे नहीं पता कि इसे "सादा" कहना सही होगा या नहीं; मुझे लगता है कि इसकी आवाज़ थोड़ी और ज़्यादा कच्ची और असली है।
I think it's stripped down as far as electronics go, but we just wanted to write a record that we felt better represented how we sound live with more of a rock feel, which is the direction we've been heading. It's just an evolution of the band throughout the years. We worked on this record longer than any other record, so I don't know if "stripped down" is how I would put it; I think it is a little bit more raw sounding.

जब हम इंडस्ट्रियल म्यूजिक के दौर में थे, तो ऐसा लगता था जैसे मुझे इस बात को छुपाना पड़ता था कि मैं गा सकता हूँ। अब, मैंने इस बात को पूरी तरह स्वीकार कर लिया है कि मैं गा सकता हूँ और मैं कोई चीखने वाला गायक नहीं हूँ और न ही अपनी आवाज़ को किसी इफ़ेक्ट के पीछे छुपाता हूँ, यह बस वैसी ही है जैसी मेरी असली आवाज़ है।
Back when we were more in the industrial vein, it was almost like I had to hide the fact that I could sing. Now, I've just sort of embraced the fact that I can sing and I'm not a screamer or hiding it behind any effects, this is just what I sound like.

मैं इसे एक हद तक उभारना चाहता था और इसी दिशा में और गहराई से जाना चाहता था। मैं हर गाने को एक अलग सुर (की) में लिखने की कोशिश भी करता हूँ, ताकि मैं जितना हो सके विविधतापूर्ण बन सकूं। मैं हमेशा लीक से हटकर कुछ नया करने की कोशिश करता हूँ और किसी एक जगह पर टिककर संतुष्ट या खुश नहीं बैठता। इस एल्बम के ग्रूव्स की बात करें, तो मुझे लगता है कि हमने बस इसी दायरे में कुछ नया प्रयोग करने की कोशिश की है।
wanted to highlight that to a certain extent and go deeper into that direction. I also try to write each song in a different key, so I can be as diverse as I can. I'm always trying to push the envelope and not be complacent or happy in one spot. As far as the grooves on this record are concerned, I think we just tried to experiment in that realm.

लोग संगीत को बहुत भारी-भरकम बना देते हैं और उनका मकसद सिर्फ भारी संगीत देना होता है, जिसका मतलब है कि उसमें कला बहुत कम और मशीनरी जैसी बनावट ज़्यादा होती है। बस हमेशा इस बात को ध्यान रखें कि मेलोडी (धून) ही किसी चीज़ को यादगार बनाती है और अगर आप उसे ही हटा दें, तो भले ही तकनीक के लिहाज से वह बहुत बेहतरीन बजाया गया हो, फिर भी आप गाने की असल रूह खो बैठेंगे।
People can get too heavy and it's just about being heavy, which means there isn't a whole lot of art in that; it's more mechanical. Just always keep in mind that melody is what makes something memorable and if you take that out of the equation then you may have something that's technically played very well, but you still can't lose sight of the song.

मैं इतनी ढिठाई से यह तो नहीं कहूँगा कि हम जो कर रहे हैं वही हमें बाकी सब से अलग करता है, मुझे लगता है कि यह तय करना बाकी लोगों का काम है। ऐसी बात कहकर आप एक बहुत ही नाजुक स्थिति में होते हैं और हम इस बात पर ध्यान देने की कोशिश नहीं करते कि इस समय क्या लोकप्रिय है। जिस पल आप ऐसा करना शुरू कर देंगे, आप दूसरों की तरह ही लगने लगेंगे और अपनी असल पहचान खो बैठेंगे।
I wouldn't be so bold as to say that what we're doing is what sets us apart from everyone, I think that's for everyone else to decide. You're walking the thin line by saying something like that and we don't try and pay attention to what's popular right now. The second you do that you're just going to start sounding like other people and you're going to lose sigh of who you are.

मैं अक्सर उन कलाकारों को सुनना पसंद करता हूँ जिन्होंने शुरू में मुझे संगीत बजाने के लिए प्रेरित किया था, क्योंकि ब्लैक सबाथ, डीपेच मोड, पिंक फ़्लॉइड और द क्योर जैसे बैंड्स से असीम ज्ञान मिल सकता है। मुझे लगता है कि अगर हम इस बात पर पूरा ध्यान देने लगें कि इस समय रेडियो पर क्या बज रहा है, तो हम अपनी पहचान पूरी तरह खो देंगे।
I tend to listen to the artists that originally inspired me to start playing music in the first place, because there is a multitude of wisdom that can be gained by bands like Black Sabbath, Depeche Mode, Pink Floyd and the Cure. I think if we were to pay close attention to what's on the radio right now then we'd lose our identity entirely.

बिना किसी शक के, क्योंकि आज के संगीत उद्योग में केवल प्रतिभा और कड़ी मेहनत से काम नहीं चलता। किसी भी कलाकार को आगे बढ़ाने में बहुत सारा भाग्य और मार्केटिंग का पैसा शामिल होता है। "फॉल डाउन" गाना एक रिश्ते के बारे में है, लेकिन आप इसे निश्चित रूप से हमारे अपने आपसी रिश्ते और हमारे पूरे करियर के सफर पर भी लागू कर सकते हैं।
Without a doubt, because now in the music business talent and hard work isn't enough. There is just a lot of luck and marketing money involved in making any artist break. "Fall Down" is about a relationship, but you could certainly apply it to the relationship we've had with each other and throughout our career.

मुझे लगता है कि मैं बस बैंड के एक ज़्यादा परिपक्व रूप को दिखाने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ और मुझे लगता है कि अब हम अपनी बैंड की असली धुन को अच्छी तरह समझ गए हैं। हर एल्बम के साथ हम विकसित हुए हैं, लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि यह एल्बम इस बात की बहुत अच्छी तस्वीर है कि आज हम कहाँ खड़े हैं और हमारा संगीत हमारे बारे में क्या कहता है। अन्य रिकॉर्ड कंपनियों के दबाव में हमारे पास उतनी रचनात्मक आज़ादी नहीं थी, लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि इस एल्बम के साथ हमने वाकई अपने मन का किया।
I think I'm just trying to show a more mature side of the band and I think we've really come into the sound of our band. With every album we've grown, but I think this is just a really good picture of where we are right now and how we feel our music represents us. Under the thumb of other record companies we haven't had as much creative control and I think with this record we really did our own thing.
