The first few songs came together quickly and were a bit more straightforward than I'm used to, and I really liked that idea, kind of going back to my early heavy\/hard rock roots.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot having any pre-conceived ideas of what the record should or would end up sounding like, at least early on, certainly helped, \"as did the fact that it's our first record, so there was nothing to measure it against or expectations to live up to, even if only in my own head.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIDE A\u003cbr\u003e01.
