Data Insight
Ed Roland writes all eleven and three of them bring in an outside co-writer, the first outside writing since the debut's producer. Running their own label did not change who wrote the songs, only who released them.
Youth came out on the band's own El Music Group in November 2004, four years after Blender and their first album away from a major label. It runs 38 minutes across eleven tracks.
