I may have once said that A Dream in Static was my favorite track, but this one is gradually taking the lead.

My main reason for going to the We Sold Our Souls to Metal tour in Albuquerque was to see Soilwork and you guys blew me away. Hats off gents!

I really love that you guys have put together these videos. I have watched several of them now and it is so interesting to see behind the scenes and hear from the band. Just to know the sort of progression of the band and who wrote the songs, as well as part of the creative process and things of that sort. I think watching the YouTube videos is a more palatable, direct way to interact with the fan base than just seeing that Ben wrote Crater in the album sleeve, or reading an interview on a website. This makes me think of how different athletes have talked about using Twitter and the Players' Tribune and things like that to increase their presence and interact with fans in a way that is not otherwise possible. So I really hope we get more videos like this for the next album and beyond.
