Phil Demmel uviedol, že novinka bude veľkou zmenou oproti predošlým radovkám.

Phil: I think this is a big departure. Not a huge departure, but there are elements that we're kind of branching out in. So I think you'll get to hear some of the old elements that have kind of drawn the people that have been part of our fan base, but it's a snapshot of where we are in time right now. That's what the past records have been, too. [It's] just kind of where we are personally, emotionally and creatively.
