Bachmann has stated in interviews that his thought processes around the band have changed over time and that his relationships with the older material are also different: "Essentially, before, when I was a 20-year-old kid playing that stuff, I got some sense of satisfaction or power. I felt confident playing in front of people. Now I don't feel that satisfaction or that power," he said. "The reward I get now is I'm going out and people are enjoying hearing it. My relationship had to change with the songs, and in that light I like all of them."<ref name="Partridge">{{cite web|last=Partridge|first=Kenneth|url=http://www.spinner.com/2011/07/05/archers-of-loaf-tour/ |title=Archers of Loaf Show Their 'Mettle' With Reunion Tour, Reissue of Debut LP |publisher=Spinner |date=July 5, 2011 |access-date=November 2, 2012}}</ref>
