Composition
Writing the second album was relatively easy! It was hard to stop. It had been over two years since we'd written Not Accepted Anywhere by the time we started writing for This Is A Fix, so we had a massive build-up of ideas. We'd spent years on the road, growing as musicians and as people too

It was revealed early on that the second album would be darker and heavier than previous album, whilst still having a catchy pop element to it. With the first album the band had tried to stick to writing big chorus singles - which they felt had came out sounding quite similar, however with This Is A Fix the band let the tracks evolve without worrying about writing singles. This ultimately led to the band having far more potential singles than with Not Accepted Anywhere.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“There is singularly nothing that makes a difference a difference in beginning and in the middle and in ending except that each generation has something different at which they are all looking. By this I mean so simply that anybody knows it that composition is the difference which makes each and all of them then different from other generations and this is what makes everything different otherwise they are all alike and everybody knows it because everybody says it.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“If I don’t write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing ... I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
