Everybody was on the same page. Nobody has really gone out there on a different musical journey. When we got back together again, we all wanted to do the same kind of music.

I lived a normal life for a number of years. I had kids. I lived up on a farm in Gloucestershire in rural England, and just kind of got back to reality again.

It's amazing to see places like Madison Square Garden on the schedule again.

It was great fun. We had gone on tour in between the sessions and reconnected with the audience and got a lot of energy back from them, a lot of positive energy.

Nick and Simon had come to a natural end of their working relationship with Warren, which obviously opened the door for a reunion of the original five.

I like Target. I like the ones in the Midwest, personally. We don't really have those in England yet.

I guess when we were up against it, we knew this album was going to be compared to all the classic early material, because it was going back to the original five.

It was great. The first 10 days we played together were amazing. Instantly we discovered this chemistry that had been dormant all these years.

It was over a three-year period that we recorded this album. Everything sounded very different by the time we finished the album.

The bar was very high-we had to really make sure that we got what we really wanted, that it was a real finished album. We weren't going to give up until we got that.
