For example, “Fine Again” was the very first single that was released in the States in 2002. We certainly had our battles with A&R guys at labels and sort of clashed with what they want us to sound like and what they want us to put out and then what we want to put out. We've never tried to really fit into a trend or tried to appease anybody or anything. “But I think the main thing for us is that we've always kind of just done what we like to do. Hopefully a slow slide into obscurity and it doesn't have to be like an overnight and you're gone. But I'm pretty happy and obviously proud of us that we still managed to be relevant and seem to somewhat build on the fanbase of every album. Especially when you consider there've been a lot of bands that we've toured with that no longer exist or have fallen away into some sort of obscurity, which is sad for us and for them to see that happen to them, obviously. “And it's been amazing that we can still be here. Let's make this first album and hope for the best and see if we can make it and maybe five or six years from now we'll just go back home and we'll pick up where we left off.

and it's like OK we'll do that and we'll see what happens and we start recording. We get in the limo, we go to this apartment, we rehearse for a couple of weeks and then we suddenly get moved to L.A. So there was all this weird energy in there, but it's very exciting for us. I think he was approaching 38 at the time, and here we are living in New York City. It was this very exciting time for us because I think I was twenty three, Dale was twenty two. We lived, I think, on the 60th floor, right in Times Square in these housing apartments and we were basically broke. And at the time it was kind of overwhelming because we lived in Times Square as well, which by any metric is a sensory overload. Everything from the accents we heard to the plugs you used to, the money you used to how you got around, everything was just completely flipped on its head.

“It's kind of weird to think that this is our 20th year of living here in the United States now and coming up in January would have been here for a full 20 years, and we first moved over and everything changed. It's what we basically started out on and it's mostly the singles that did the best. The interesting thing is this if you look at a lot of the songs on this compilation, it's mostly the stuff we play most often live because it's what people want us to play more.

Other days it feels like it's been forever. Shaun Morgan: “I mean, depending on which day you talk to me, some days it feels like it's been the blink of an eye. Was it kind of a strange process to look back in this kind of lens at the band as a whole? Perhaps it’s because you continue to put out hit singles and tour prominently, you haven’t really had a dip or time away from the mainstream. BraveWords: It's pretty wild to think of this band in terms of two decades.
