Then when we did the untitled record, we just didn't feel like putting joke stuff on it, so we didn't. It wasn't really a deliberation or a real introspective thing like, Are we going to joke on this one, are we not going to joke on this one? We just didn't feel like it on the untitled one, so we didn't.
