And just to write a whole new album for us takes a long time.

This album was written in a time period from mid-2006 to 2009.

The band wrote an album over the course of a year.

Early 2009 saw the band come off the road and begin writing their second album.

The album was written over two years and recorded in three weeks.

The album was written and recorded over the course of 1.5 years.

The album was written and recorded in less than 12 months.

I wasn't trying to write a religious or spiritual album.

The album was written and recorded throughout most of 2011.

After the tour, the band began writing their third album.
