He said: "We’ve already started talking about what we’re gonna do next for the next Queens record. There’s tons of ideas that are bouncing around … We’re going to do something before the end of the year, as far as recording goes. We’re excited to get back together to follow-up …Like Clockwork, which was a really, really big record for us, personally. It was a big record for us ’cause it was the hardest record to make. And we’re trying to not do that again. We just want to keep things simpler and try that, I guess.”
