I think our fans in particular will be thrilled with the direction that we are going in.

I think there’s almost a mission to rock, to be a rock band, to go out in 2017 and rock out. Make songs as amazing as we can

Deeper cuts, new material... sounds good to me.

So, to summarise:

1. Mental Jewelry will be re-released on vinyl
2. Live will not be performing any tracks from The Turn during their festival shows this year
3. Chris wanted to get Ed back (???)

Yes I'm quite "for real." I didn't say I expected it or that it was likely or possible, I said it would have been cool, and I still say it would have been cool.
