Hart told ''Exclaim!'', "I personally think all of the records, songwise, have been pretty accessible. Production wise? Probably not. I was never one of those guys thinking I have to reinvent the wheel or do something freaky with every record. I did three like that, and I'm getting older now, so I just decided to try it. You can always go back."〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Exclaim! )〕 The band's track "Paul Simon" has been placed on many Samsung Phones as a feature song.
