You know them IRL, yes?

That I do!

And they write songs about stuff they like, really - which is why they have few true "love songs" over the... 25 years they've been together (you read right). And as for "I'm on Fire" - maybe you need another listen. It's supposed to have a different edge to it, much like everything on the album. Sure, it's all rock, but each song is a surprise - you never have any idea which one someone else is going to like best.

And lyrics are all over the place. "Cry Wolf" makes fun of cancer culture. You have creepy stuff like "Spend the Night" and "We'll Be Seeing You Again." You have, as you noted, the humorous ending of "I Don't Wanna Be a Ghost." The album is stacked top to bottom with good stuff (and really, their discography is too).

P.S. I'm glad you took a listen to this and could appreciate it at least a little.
