Claude says:Rick Rubin signed them to American Recordings after hearing Emotionalism, and this major-label debut — recorded in LA, released in 2009 — hit No. 16 on the Billboard 200. You picked it up in April 2011, two years after release, and it's been in steady play since: the title track, "Head Full of Doubt," "January Wedding," "Kick Drum Heart" — you've worked through nearly the entire sequence and you're still playing it.
