    If you've ever read or watched interviews with your favourite bands, you'll be used to their tendency to exaggerate and spin. After all, they've got records to sell.

    So here's a translation guide to help you understand what your favourite band means when they say their new record is "the best we've ever done":

    2. That's a great question!

    3. We think this is the best record we've made yet!
