Nowadays everything's free and and you know and streaming and nobody makes any money. And I knew, even though that we, you know, hadn't made a record for Years or whatever, that maybe half or a little less than half of the album really had to sound like firefall from The Old Days, because if we just sound like somebody new, they go, and that's not firefall, or you know.
