The sessions were also top secret.

We didnt tell anybody that we were recording, except our wives, says Cool.

We gave ourselves enough time and we werent watching the clock.

I think the world is ready for big guitars and big drums and the truth.

I wish we could take credit for being supergeniuses and having crystal balls, he jokes.

But our balls are normal, like everyone elses.
