I'm just a sucker for concepts.
Yeah I know, don't get me wrong I love the album, but if they wanted listeners to name each track by the way it sounded to them, why did they put other names in parenthesis next to the word 'Untitled'? I don't know, just a weird thing that annoys me. I guess ( ) is one of the more creative attempts at trying to base a concept around ....untitledness.
