Rolling Stone: As far as your motivations for reuniting, some of your more idealistic fans initially wrote it off as nothing more than a cash grab.
Dennis Lyxzén: Well, first of all, there's something quite... flattering, I guess, about the fact that people are that invested in our band at all. But it's the same thing with people that say you shouldn't get back together, that it's wrong. Then it's "Oh, they're getting back together? They should at least put out a new record." Then someone else says, "They're putting out a new record? That's bullshit!" People project onto us what they want us to be and what they want us to represent. But at the end of the day, we are the band. We have to make our own decisions. And I think that I would never get back together in a band just for the money. That would be a very strange thing to do. That being said, my entire life, I've been broke. So sure, after playing music for 20-plus years it's nice to not have to worry about paying my rent next month. I don't see it as a contradiction in terms to be a political bands that plays music that has meaning, and also be able to make a living out of it. So for me it's not that big of an issue, really.
