Quote related to 'The Miracle'

On being harder less pop: The way it came out very guitar oriented just happened, as far as I can see. It's very strange. It may have come about because we were actually doing more playing together. There's a lot of live takes on there, So, you know, whereas we had got fairly machine oriented for a while, this isn't. There's a lot of technology, but it's kind of after the event. It's basically us playing as a band. So I guess it sounds like it. And no one's more happy than I am. Having decided that we were going to credit every track to the four of us, as opposed to just one, everybody argued over every note... Which is very healthy, and it's much more of a cohesive group effort than we've done for a long time.
