Glad you asked. The story behind Unfinished is

Good question! We thought it would give the album a good lighthearted counter-balance to the heady themes in the music. Seriously though, we were young and aesthetically challenged.

Like I said in the AP article, I never really cared for the term emo, but for some reason emo revival is okay. I don't really know what it means other than that we can play shows for crowds of people now at clubs with nice sound systems.

Only Sunny Day Real Estate (haha). No, but seriously, we were listening to The Catherine Wheel, Sugar, Swervedriver, Buffalo Tom, Dinosaur Jr., Superchunk, Rocket From The Crypt, etc when we formed Mineral. We did not, as has sometimes been assumed, come from a hardcore background.

You know, I don't even own a copy of that album on vinyl! If you find one cheap, let me know. We have entertained the idea of doing something for the shows this Fall, so we'll see what happens.
