Other labels offered more money up front, Fair said, but the band ultimately signed with Atlantic because of the creative control the deal provided. "We have control issues," Fair explained. "We want the fucking final say on everything. And they don't want some sort of 90-degree turn out of us, because they know that's like shooting us in the foot. They don't want to lose anyone we've already gained in our fanbase. And they're definitely getting a pretty fuckin' metal record, judging by what we've written so far. This isn't gonna be some candy-pop bubblegum shit. It's pretty nasty."

What 90-degree-turn could they take anyway? - It's not that they have been making subversive music so far and could be forced to become accessible; they ARE already.

And the word that CM are influencing the direction of their bands keeps going round...

Apparently, the level of distortion on a guitar is used to measure subversion and (in)accessibility.
