i really liked how they (especially jeremy) put this into words:
DUNCAN: This is the first time that a new record has affected the way we play old songs. Without, you know, robbing the old songs of their soul and what made them cool, I think we’re updating them and making them what we feel is…Well, we’re just not being so aggressive with the old songs.
JEREMY: Yeah, there was a period on this record where we learned to hold back and not be on “10” in the chorus, you know? I think we just went back to a lot of songs where there are a lot of guitars going on in the chorus on the record, but we kind of just switched them up a little bit to give them a little more breath..a little more space.
