Well, that's kinda odd, they all live in the USA and they will fly over across teh ocean to record the album... I find difficult to believe... put it this way, the last album which was, probably the most difficult album of their career, they've recorded in home, even James recorded his parts on Canada in a studio near his home (at least that was what i read on an interview). So why would they record the album in UK??
Oh and by the way, thanks for the update... at least is always something more. Can't wait for the album to come out...
