John Petrucci sagt über "A View From The Top Of The World":
We just love to play our instruments. That never goes away. I love to be creative, write, and exercise that part of my mind. We’ve been able to do this for a long time, and we don’t take it for granted. Whenever we get together, we know we can’t disappoint ourselves or our fans, so we manage to try even harder.
Sänger James LaBrie fügt hinzu:
We approach every album like it’s our first. It’s been such a great ride, but we’re not going to stop.
