“I ceased in the year 1764 to believe that one can convince one’s opponents with arguments printed in books. It is not to do that, therefore, that I have taken up my pen, but merely so as to annoy them, and to bestow strength and courage on those on our own side, and to make it known to the others that they have not convinced us.” YearsBelieveBookSidesKnownTakenArgumentConvincedOpponentsConvincePensAnnoyingPrinted Author:Georg C.

“I wrote an album about being in love. I don't think it's possible to write an album while you're in love - why on earth would you bother? I mean, Christ.

“This is our most complete record by far. A Hundred Million Suns sounds like the marriage of everything we learned from the Jeepster years and the Fiction years made into something new and bolder. Our spikiness and our indie-ness are coming through again with all the poppiness of the last two records. There's a lot of melody here and you can't cloak that whatever you do with it. This album is touched by our entire history, and hopefully sounds like our future too.” YearsMadeTwoLastsSoundFictionMillionsSunRecordsHundredAlbumsHopefullyTouchedSomething NewMelodyOur FutureCloaks Author:Gary Lightbody
