A Late Night Tales disc doesn't offer a technical set of mixing, more so it offers an insight into a particular artist's personality via a selection of wax from their record box.

Out of the few new tracks on Direct Hits, even the pick of the litter – the glam Shot At The Night – doesn’t hold a flame to Mr Brightside, but at least it’s a whole lot better than Human.

"The worst thing you can do is over-think things, so we just try and keep it as simplistic as possible, and if it has that energy, that physicality to it, we know it’s a keeper."

"There has never been a better place where our band has been in."

"This is just the tip of the iceberg, it’s the beginning of a new worldwide domination, we’ll be back again and again and again, and we ain’t going to stop coming back."
