Interview - 107.7 The End - Blue Vs. Pinkerton

(Album: Pinkerton - 1996)

Hi, The End

Hey, hey yeah. I would like to know

Yas

Why was your first self titled album so like put together and perfect and why was your second album like

Less like that?

Yeah

Dude

Dude

What a bummer

Dude, you're bumming me out

Because like your first album was like cool but it sucked but your second album came back and like

Sucked but it was cool

The point you're tryin to make is that the first album was very produced, the second album had a much more raw feel to it
They paid like $2,000 for the first album and like $500 for the second one

It costs a lot of money to sound like that

When we went to make our first album we were all very um

Preppy?

No, it wasn't that, it was we were nervous and we wanted to sound good so I think we were in the wrong frame of mind. We were making sure everything was perfect and it came out sounding a bit sterile I think

Yeah

Yeah

I'm on your home page right now

Really?

That's great

I've never even been there so I don't know what you're looking at

You're glad

So are you um, the second album, when you went in to record it was it an intentional thing to make it more raw sounding, Rivers?
No, I think it was just

A bit more natural

Just be ourselves, yeah. Be natural. And

C sharp

At that point we had toured for a year and a half so we were pretty confident that we could just press record and it would sound presentable

Cool

So we just had fun
