Just caught an interview with Mark on Fuse.
Nothing really new. Said they were working on the setlist and production for the tour, wouldn't play that many songs from the new album (wtf) because people want to hear the hits.
Tried to make the new album sound like it was fully of angst and immediacy, not a manufactured/over-produced machine.
Said 1/3 of the fans will instantly hate it, 1/3 will say its their best ever, and 1/3 will need to be won over.
Asked him to name a funny moment from the studio and he couldn't think of one.
