From my view, the album itself is not sacrilegious or anything. The meaning of the paradox in the album is take a Jesus-like figure and put him through the everyday happenings of life. Jesus died on the cross for humanity's sins, but the same sins are still taking place. That is, there is a paradox, and nothing has changed. If people read the lyrics and they think about the issue of religion and how they feel, the point has been made.
Religion is a controversial issue.
The next step is for us to go to Russia, then to Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. Then we can look at the U.S. depending on the response we get from the album. We have to be positive but also have to be reserved. Right now touring plans for the U.S. are in the works, and we have different deals trying to be negotiated. I think it's coming around to our style of music.
