Blast from the Past (Kerrang! Article 2006) Interesting stuff..

[Subliminal]

I thought I'd post this up, just dug it out. It's very interesting to read this now with Diamond Eyes on the verge of coming out and them having more publicity etc. Key notes being..

Chino regarding the label/song writing ''It felt like we had no control because the label wanted to approve every song. I've never had to do that before. It wasn't creative''

Plus he goes through track-by-track of what the songs are about..

Fuck, thanks man.

Damn, I don't understand... What was so wrong with Bob Ezrin ? I mean, the demos are killer.

[There Will Be Blood]

I still can't believe how close the band came to breaking up, Hard times for sure.

I remember being very interested in the album when it was announced that Ezrin would be producing it.

Then we got Slopez.

I just re read that like a month ago. I think ezrin was just part of the problems they were going through at the time. 

[Penicks]

Wow, good read. SNW really is one sad album.

@ Combat you can see the first time Robo buzz-saw  Contributed with the band. That killer part on "who's side are you on" Must be him's.

I agree man, the demo production is fuckin' sick. Finger of Death just sounds perfect, it's why I rant on about it even now.

I guess Ezrin just didn't resonate with the band the way they wanted. Plus now Chino's revealed there wasn't much communication between him and Stef. So it was probably one big, intense mess.

I remember reading that at the time as well. It's funny how hindsight brings a bit more clarity.
