Warrel Dane:

”The song "And The Maiden Spoke" is going to blow your minds; it's twisted, progressive lunatic fringe riffing with vicious hooklines.
These songs are full of newfound rage, lyrically and musically. Jeff Loomis has come up with some amazing new riffs that will no doubt please old and new fans alike. Also, I think the combination of Peter and Andy will result in something very, very special.

Zum "Crystal Ship” The Doors Cover ergänzt Warrel:
”THE DOORS song was not my original choice. I really wanted to do this song called "Waiting For the Sun". When I listen to songs, of course, since I'm a lyricist, I gravitate towards cover songs (for which) I admire the lyrics. Jeff Loomis being a guitarist, he goes for the guitar stuff that he thinks is really cool. And that's how we came on THE DOORS thing.
"Crytal Ship+, originally he Jeff had taken the approach of making it a little heavy. And I tried to work with it and I said, 'Jeff, I don't think this is working. I think maybe what we should try is an all-acoustic approach to the song.' And when we did it, he was like, 'Dude, you're totally right.' And he was like doing five-layered guitar parts over this.

When people hear it, it doesn't sound like THE DOORS anymore. I think that's what people expect when we do cover songs. 'Cause we've been known to deconstruct and recreate more than one song.”$
