    The harmony vocals are incredibly impressive.

    let's let the tempo be. we don't have to be on a click for our whole lives. yeah there's some push and pull here and there, the energy is great, just three guys doin it live.

      They rush a lot. Last Polka is FEROCIOUSLY fast! Lots of bands in the late 90’s rushed but it was part of the live energy.
      The vocals are meticulous.

      Speaking as a performing musician, it's very easy to do. You get up there, adrenaline kicks in, and suddenly you're off on warp speed. My current band doesn't have that issue because our drummer plays with an ear piece that has a click track going that helps him keep the tempo, but it's very easy for a band to rush during a live performance if they don't play with such a device.

    Do you not hear me anymore
    I know it's not your thing to care
    I know it's cool to be so bored
    I sucks me in
    When you're aloof
    It sucks me in, it sucks it works
    I guess it's cool to be alone
    Will you never rest
    Fighting the battle of who could care less
    Everyday you wake up late
    Sometimes I wish I was
    That way
    And you think Rockford Files is cool
    But there are some things
    That you would change
    If it were up to you
    So think about your masterpiece (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Watch the Rockford Files
    And call to see if Paul can score some weed.
    Do you never rest
    Fighting the battle of who could care less
    Unearned unhappiness
    That's all right I guess
    I've got this great idea
    Why don't we pitch it to the Franklin Fucking Mint
    Fine pewter portraits of
    General apathy and major boredom singing
    Whatever and ever Amen
    Oh well maybe not I'll try again
    This should cheer you up for sure
    See I've got your old I.D.
    And you're all dressed up like the Cure
    You never rest
    Fighting the battle
    Of who could care less
    Unearned unhappiness
    You're my hero I confess

      He's legitimately the worst drummer I know of for a band that went big. Every single live performance he rushes. Ben looks annoyed by it.
