Read this: "I was having fun, but also breaking down…" Inside the studio for Waterparks’ bold new era
Speaking to Kerrang! in January about what's to come from the band's new album – which will be released on May 21 via 300 Entertainment – Awsten enthused of Greatest Hits, "I’m glad we’ve set the bar and the expectation of, 'Hey, we’re going to make all kinds of weird shit, and shit that you’re not going to expect.' We’ve opened the door to be able to do anything, and my only hope is that people don’t go into it expecting too much of one thing, because they will never, ever, ever be right. Here’s the thing: I know it’s great, and I hope they’re willing to just take it in as music and not, 'This is what I want from Waterparks.’
"As long as the approach is to appreciate it and hear it for what it is, then I think they’re gonna fucking love it."
