Discussing the nomination, the frontman said, "Well, I think my first reaction was more insane when we got nominated for the album before this [Bloodlust], when we got nominated for Black Hoodie. I thought it was a joke. I couldn't believe it.
"Now, for us to get a nomination on our next album after that, I was, like, 'Really?!' I guess somebody over there at the GRAMMYs really enjoys what I'm doing. So, it's a very exciting moment. We lost last time. I think just to be nominated, it sounds corny, with all the thousands and thousands of records that come out every year, is a great accomplishment and we'll take that. Of course, we want to win but it's mind-blowing."
