Focus, focus, focus...

What are we doing? Looking back at our earlier endeavors I can't help but notice we never really settled on just what kind of band we wanted to be.

We need direction, everything we've ever recorded has no focus, we just bounced all over the map and as a direct result we never developed "our sound" or accomplished any level of success playing out or recording. There were times when we wanted to be Nirvana or Mudhoney with a piano (Opium Tea, Bored and 20). Other occasions we thought it would be cool to sound like a retarded version of My Bloody Valentine (Pulse, Chrysalis) or Radio Head (Paranoid). And then theirs songs like Paper Thin and Never Change, stuff I feel Nate had the heaviest hand in creating. -Where does this fit in?-

Please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying we should choose a band and mimic their sound, we'd never really be able to do that anyway. I just think we need some direction if we want to accomplish anything this time around (and I really do, I want to have something I can be proud of recording WITH you guys).
