A sport of measure like basketball or football has a points system and a kind of binary path to victory. A form sport is something like scuba diving or figure skating or bodybuilding, something with evolving standards and a layer of subjectivity and some kind of critical component.The world around us is complex, and our lives are more like a sport in a way that to a measure. However, many people see it as exactly the opposite. “

Affirm that “Perfect Saviours” is his sincere and unironic effort to create the biggest and best rock album of the 21st century.
