"Yata" stands for "Yet Another Tripecac Album". It's also a pun on "yada yada" and the silly "Yatta" video. If you think I have no shame, check out that video!

The album title and some of the songs' lyrics self-consciously acknowledge that we've heard it all before.

Well, maybe not all of it. There are a few new bits in here, like the attempt at (pseudo-)punk and the fact that the album ends on a slow, gentle ramble rather than a tight rocker. There's also a feeling of exploring different emotional areas from the usual half-silly, half-irritable sassiness. New emotions include: sadness, semi-sadness, and faux-sadness. Yippee!

Eek, did I just say "emotional" and "emotions"? You know, as in "emo"??? Yikes! I hate emo! I just hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it! Fortunately, I don't think we can call this music "emo". It doesn't sound emo all. Thank God! 'Cause my life would just, like, end if we labeled this album emo...

Sorry; that was a horrid emo impression. Absolutely pathetic. I really suck. I guess I'll just go kill myself now...

Ha ha ha!!! Don't you love my sparkling, sizzling wit??? Yep, I guess the half-silly, half-irritable sassiness never went away. Like it or not, here I pun!

Okay, one last note. I've thrown in a sort of easter egg, a hidden "rule". Need a clue? Check out the first couple letters of each song name. :)
