Andersa Fridéna netrápi kritika nového smerovania kapely, ktoré potvrdila aj novinka "Sounds Of A Playground Fading" (recenzia).

"All these people were posting these comments like, "I hate the way you play now," "Your old stuff was so much better" and "You suck now." It was playing "Episode 666" and people were still complaining about how much better we were in the past. It shows how much some people"s attitudes won"t change. It"s funny how some people phrase some of these things."

"I"ve been hearing that since the day I joined the band — it"s part of the game. I don"t really get bothered by it. People can like what they want to like and there"s nothing I can do about it. We still have a sound; it might be a little different (these days), but it"s the same ideals and intentions. We didn"t do a country album. If people like one song of ours, great. If they like an album or the whole catalogue, that"s fucking awesome. Sometimes you"re in a trend and the next day you"re out of a trend, you can"t do much about it. I don"t like comparing old versus new, back and forth. Let them be what they are; they are different albums, different periods and we are different people."
