Mark McGrath: Because we lack any originality.

Stan Frazier: Because Spaz was taken.

McGrath: All cleverness went out the window [when] we were coming up with titles for the record. We tried to name it Let's Put That on the Record, no pun intended. Just to give you an idea on how horribly lost we were, we were watching a program on the Discovery Channel about cloning. I came up with Clone Again Naturally. We thought that was the greatest idea that anybody had ever heard. So we put it on the board and the next day we looked and we were like, "Oh my God." We were thinking of clever titles, witty titles, but at the end of the day the record's pretty strong, probably the strongest record we ever made. There's not a lot of joking-type songs [like] we've had in the past on our records, so it kind of named itself.

MTV: What do you contribute to the dare I say serious —

McGrath: Don't say that. You can't say serious. I think as we've gotten a little bit older — this is our fourth album now — you just evolve as songwriters. You evolve as people. Something that meant more to us when we were in our 20s is a little less of interest to us now. We used to write about beers and cars and those are all fine and dandy, but I think it's very much a relationship-based record.

Frazier: Everyone ages, so we're just in that process. We write about things that mean something, that mean things to us.

McGrath: Not many bands get to grow in the public eye. They go away. It's weird to be growing up and trying to maintain your fanbase.
