"Timbaland can do anything… he's a genius… he's able to get rhythm even from stones. On the second day that we met in the studio, a group of people showed up with cans, pots and spatulas from the kitchen, and we connected the amplifiers and so on ... this experience ended with the recording of the album."He commented.
"I didn't know him before. We had a phone conversation and then we were introduced to the studio ...
Everyone assumed the songs were going to have Timbaland's 'beat' mixed in with electric guitar riffs and me singing about it. I don't think they expected us to release a record like Scream"He added.
