1. "I finished my last song two days ago, and it's all killer; there's no filler. It's so good. I mean, there's so many vibes and so many styles, but it's all cohesive. The continuity is there," he said. "It doesn't sound like a comp album, it doesn't sound like 12 bands coming in going, 'We're going to record a song!' It sounds like a band exploring, which, to me, is [a] really old-school tradition.

2. "...coming in with the amount of material — we recorded 18 songs — and knowing that every tune not only has its own identity but is damn good, I'm very, very proud of that."
