"We're Here Because We're Here is Anathema's most expansive album to date and by the far best thing we've ever done," comments leader Danny Cavanagh. "Not only have we improved as writers, but because we took our time, we had the opportunity to select the very best material and concentrate on it. We gave the songs the chance to breathe and come alive by themselves and it's ended up being magical - every song is as good as the rest of them. This album features the best performances by the band ever; Vincent's (Cavanagh) greatest vocals and John's (Douglas; drums) and my best writing."
