I don't either.
I mean they didnt radically alter it live or anything, I mean they certainly seemed fond of rather rippped songs live (not complaining)
I honestly think Thurston just kind of says things sometimes, he seems like he can be a bit absent minded at times.

It sounds like we can expect a more experimental album this time around.

yep, thurston says even that their last five songs (he means rather ripped i think) was compromised with label. so yeah it'll be loud album now!

Actually I would be very happy with something that is kind of like the first ep.
That is my second favorite of their stuff and I've been listening to it alot lately.

Basically now they just answer to their fanbase, they are done with the music community as a whole and they probably know this, so hopefully the music will reflect this.

[This Is Not Here]

The way I see it, SY knew their contract would expire with Geffen, so I think they thought Rather Ripped was their last attempt at reaching the mainstream; so they released a record with a commercial sound, and left it to Geffen and their major label capabilities to 'get it out there' (which, lets face it they didn't do). So yeah, now they're an indie band again, I would expect a rawer, louder and looser sound. Hooray!

[This Is Not Here]

I don't agree with Thurston the last five records were compromised, I mean NYC g+f and Thousand Leaves have some of the downright weirdest tracks the band has ever produced. Though Rather Ripped and Nurse did feel a little like label pleasers, this was not completely the case.
