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!
