JJ Burnel Planet Rock Radio This Sunday from 7pm

[Bear Cage]

I don’t believe the band are trying to create something that’s a hybrid or copy of any earlier album

You don't believe that Norfolk Coast was a calculated attempt to return to the musical territory of the early MKI years? Okay. I mean, this sort of thing was a factor in Paul Roberts ultimately leaving the band, but yeah.

Change in sound, due to a changed line-up and songwriting team, yes.
Conscious return to a heavier rockier sound, yes.
Deliberate attempt to sound like a specific album, no.
