When we made that album there was a lot of outside influence from the label and we did a lot of co-writes for that CD and our producer had a lot more to do with everything and had a heavier hand in everything.

In the end, it turned out that we were recording a bunch of songs that we didn’t care about as much or love as much, and I think that kind of comes across.
