Haste spreads its musical wings on this album. They've displayed brief hints of things to come on previous efforts, but nothing this dramatic. "Some of the songs on this record are much more melodic and in some ways, more mellow," Reaves states. "But other songs aren't - they're some of the heaviest material we've written. We go in moods. One person brings something in, and it clicks with everybody. The next thing you know, we're writing something really pretty. At other times, we're writing something that sounds totally pissed. We never sit down to write anything a certain way, not with the music, the vocals... anything. We just play and play until something sounds right and complete."
