And they're not concerned if the extent of the work turns some people off. Gers tells Glide: "This is a time when people's attention spans are so limited. We just do what we want to do, and we've always done that. It wasn't that we set out to make a double album. It just ended up we had 11 songs in 92 minutes. If it feels right, that's what it is."

He adds: "I think this album proves we're still valid. The songs are powerful and edgy. There's all types of different songs and there's almost something for everybody - classically influenced, jazz influenced, rock and blues influenced. It's all there, and it's just indicative of what the band's about." Read more - here.
