Following is an excerpt from BW&BK;'s recent interview with Annihiltor's Jeff Waters and Dave Padden:
“I sucked,” Padden says of the Metal album. “I had the worst time. That album took me two months to record and it should have taken me two weeks. Everything was just wrong, and then I’d stress out and my voice would get screwed. It just spiralled down from there.”
Waters continues: “It was all mental. I think he was kind of high off of the album we did before that, Schizo Deluxe, which I think has the best vocals out of all our albums. I think he came into Metal thinking, ‘Fuck, didn’t we do great together on the last album, this next one’ll be a piece o’ cake.’ Because of that the preparation wasn’t there. I’m guilty, too. I mean, ‘We are the army of one…’. Puh-lease (laughs). At the time I was writing it I was thinking that it was a good piece of work, I was really into it, but if you’re honest with yourself you can go back and rate your albums. You just do it and you hope it works. I bought every SLAYER, METALLICA, AC/DC, Priest and Maiden album but I don’t listen to all of them; I listen to certain records by them. It’s sort of like us. We’d love to be able to write albums that are perfect 10s every time but that’s not going to happen.”
