There's a funny album opener when you play the album 14:59, it reflects their Genre change after the sleeper hit, "Fly".

*** The song fades out and we get to [[GenreShift "Every Morning"]], and the tone of the album stays that way.

Added DiffLines:

* HarsherInHindsight: In the liner notes of their first album, there is a picture with each of the band members with their names and roles listed as "Liar", "Traitor", "Sellout", and "Cheat." Considering the animosity between the band's members later on, as well as the band's radical shift in sound after achieving pop success, these labels might not be looked on with as much amusement as they were originally intended.

* {{Narm}}: "Shot Of Laughter," the bonus track from their Best Of, starts out with the chant of "summer, summer, endless summer," as if they wanted to make sure you knew what sort of vibe they're aiming for.

* HilariousInHindsight: The punk rock hit-and-run "Cash" (from ''Floored'') is already funny on account of being so one-dimensional, but a song about how badly they need cash becomes doubly funny for their detractors, who called them sellouts in the wake of their GenreShift.
