Quote and feud

Exact quote for the album, by the band:

Any references made to implicate that there are cover bands out there that really sucks [sic] found in this recording are purely intentional.

The quote was a result of a short-lived feud with heavy metal band HammerFall, and fears consumers and press alike viewed the album as unoriginal or a near-cover work of another band.
