AF: Good question. We have just touched the very tip with the iceberg with preparing to execute the record with Ghosthouse. At this occassion I do not how it's gonna get done, but I'm hoping it always be released before summer. I do feel the vast majority of the songwriting process is over for the record,though. Like, I feel we could go in right now with Gerard, David and Conrad and get going and hold the record worn out two many months. That isn't going to happen, but we're ready for this item. I think I've moved beyond it to an argument where I'm done with writing and am to be able to start during the next associated with Masses songs or the Holy Land, Holy See record.

AF: why scr888 cannot update (invasion.tap4fun.com) At this time I've heard the record enough times to have a certain detachment to it's "official" birth or will release. It's kind of like it's my kid - Irealised i was there during it's conception and development and with "Rapture" being the debut it's like we're sending our kid off to its first day's school (albeit with a Sonic Youth T-shirt on) and seeing how things go. Objective, i'm not concerned if the other kids like him or should not. I hope it does a good quality job and gets chance to it deserves, but regardless if it doesn't there's a bigger, better bun in the oven that could kick everyone's ass once it's all set to.
