"I've never been one for nostalgia," says Neil Fallon, "I've always shied away from it. But after 27 years of this, I realize that there is a wealth of stories to look back upon as lyrical fodder. As the saying goes, 'You don't know where you're going until you know where you've been.' Not all the songs reference our collective experience as a band, but Book Of Bad Decisions seemed like an apt name for these various chapters, whether factual, fictitious, or somewhere in-between."
"With Vance Powell as producer we were able to make a very different kind of an album. The songs feel as if they could jump out of the speakers!" says drummer Jean-Paul Gaster. Bassist Dan Maines seconds that when he says: "Recording in Nashville with Vance Powell gave us a new and fresh approach towards making an album that truly captures the live energy of Clutch in a way I don't think we've done before." Guitarist Tim Sult adds: "Laying down guitar tracks with Vance was fun and inspiring. Going through and trying out his and his engineer, Mike Fahey's collection of vintage amps was one of my favorite recording studio experiences. I think the outro solo of 'Emily Dickinson' turned out particularly great."

The last two Clutch albums were fantastic but....... this one isn't off to a great start. Super uninspired album art and the first single is terrible.
