Well, it's hard to say, because I feel we're always progressing somewhere. We don't know where we're going, we get to say that when all the songs are written. It's strange, if you compare the first songs that we wrote for the album... When writing the first songs, we said, "Let's not make things so complicated; lets keep things simple, make it a rock feel, for the extreme music that is." Then the last three songs were a lot more progressive, with strange structures and things like that. That's usually the way the writing process works.

I think it's hard for me, because I write from ninety to ninety five percent of the material. The others have contributed with some riffs, but I write all the lyrics and the drums, as well, so it's very hard for me to point out a certain song because they're all my babies.
