You have to understand though that the past year has been them making demos, not full songs.
The 5 songs that were just completed were 5 of those song ideas being pushed into full songs. And they did that in about a month. Don't think that it took them a year to make 5 songs, that isnt how they are operating. They took a year to make all the song ideas they have thus far, and now they are taking the best ones and finishing them. At the rate of 5 demos being finished per month, we should have an album by June if you ask me.
And I don't think they ever said MtM was genre-busting, but if you can find me that quote please do. Because it is not a "genre busting" album. What it is, is a genre variety. It has punk rock, hard rock, alternative, pop, indie, and rap-rock all on the same album.
