...enough about names. Let's talk about the new record. Your first album, Pushing the Salmonella Envelope, had a very raw, in-your-face sound to it. Your new album, Bring Your Own Stereo, sounds much more produced and neatly crafted. Was this a conscience choice or just an evolution in your sound...
...Ultimately, Smith message is very ecumenical: as long as you love God, it doesn't really matter whether you believe the Almighty is male or female, white or black. Just for the record, God is a white female, who looks like Alanis Morissette? Well yep, that's Him at least according to this film.

We lumped all of our hard stuff together, and we really didn't want to do a whole lot of producing--we wanted to avoid that overproduced sound. Above all, we didn't want to have Bring Your Own Stereo sound exactly like the last record. Listening to a record and going to a live show are completely different venues and ways of hearing music. We wanted for the album to be a different experience than the live show-show our fans different sides...

I can't say that there was anything in particular that we were listening to that pushed us in any direction. The first record was the result of an ongoing movement in a hard rock direction over many years. Our music is fairly consistent between the two albums, but there is a lot of new stuff. A lot of that tends to be the result of playing with some new members that like to play different things...
...Your new style is sort of reminiscent of 311, and you also included them on your "Thanks" list. How much did they influence your music on this record...
