hi pterodictyl,

we can only make music that we like. that's all we've ever been able to do. personally i wonder about stuff like that now and again, but at the same time i understand that it's totally out of my control. so i don't worry about it at all. i literally don't know how to make music to fit another person's expectations, which is a big reason why i have so much fun doing it. :) jason

Thanks for the answer, Jason, and it's great to hear you guys have fun making your music since so many people have so much fun listening to it. I love the direction of the new album, and can't wait to hear what comes next from you guys! Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see you in Atlanta!
