"I finished all the tracks -- did everything -- then I had six months off," Gallagher told Guitar World about the new album. "I spent that six months listening to it every day on headphones and was mentally making notes on what would make it better. Then four months down the line, other ideas would pop into my head, whereas when I got to mixing it I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. It was a luxury I have never had."
