He tells Legendary Rock Interviews: "This is really the first time I haven't been afraid to just do the music that's coming out of me. It feels like the first time I haven't tried to eliminate stuff that I felt wouldn't fit, or would rock the boat, or be too much of a surprise to people who enjoyed past records from me. I've wanted to make this record for a long time."

It's not just his music that's changed � Lang feels he's a different person too. "I'm a bit more balanced than I ever have been, not such a basket case any more," he jokes. "Having a family has been an incredible blessing � it was the very thing I needed in my life to balance me out.
