Basically, no one else gives me any opinions on lyrics. I don't ask for them. If they did, I would listen.

Like the song "Stereo", to me that's like, kind of hip-hop in that slacker way. There's some slackerisms mixed in with that stuff, but it wasn't really conscious, I guess. When things would get more typical rock'n'roll that was my fallback to go to those kind of lyrics instead of the alternatives.

I think most musicians know if they make the same record twice, even if they say they don't.

There's no point that an album should sound like a watered down version of another album.

I'm not dying for things to say.

But we're still rehearsing and planning to make a new album next year. We have some really good new songs that we've already been playing on that last tour that we just finished.
