* "Yeah, the '90s were a good time for rapid fire, hard-to-karaoke pop jams, but even people who can do '[[Music/{{REM}} It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)]]' from memory without stuttering don't dare to take on 'Informer'. Not only does it go faster than Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog on cocaine, the words themselves didn't seem to make any sense. People might have assumed it was 'cause the song was from some foreign country, and they would be right, although that country was [[UsefulNotes/Canada a little further north that they realize]]. They probably expected this to be from some dreadlocked Rasta, not a guy who looked like a forgotten ''[[Series/BeverlyHills90210 90210]]'' cast member. And his name was ''Snow'', for God's sakes. It was like he went, 'what's a name that'll get across as quickly as possible that I'm white and Canadian? Snow! Of course!'"

-->'''Todd:''' [They] didn't think this guy was funny, they were ''offended''. To them, Snow was a disgusting [[{{Blackface}} minstrel-show act]] who stole and watered down black culture, and embodied everything wrong with the hypocritical standards of a racist society and record industry. (Beat) ...Holy ''shit'', that's a lot of heavy stuff to throw on "Informer", of all things! I was just looking for Homey the Clown videos, goddamn.

* Todd notes that the failed follow-up, "If I Am", has the same atmosphere as early 2000s Christian rock, and he futher observes that the band's name is stylised in AllLowercaseLetters with no space between "nine" and "days" on cover art. He says this explains so much about the disparity between sales of the single and the album it led off - until he looks more closely at the album sales...

* And even the chorus has nothing new to say, as Todd cannot resist comparing the lyrics to those of the theme from ''Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow'':
-->'''Todd:''' It's just a cliché-ridden song about a girl, and I like her, and a lot of the time she's not happy, but when she is, ''[cut to Todd leaning against his keyboard in disgust]'' she turns the world on with her smile, takes a nothing day and suddenly makes it all seem worthwhile, ''[sarcastically]'' awwww. ''[mimes sticking his finger down his throat and gagging]''

-->'''Todd:''' Okay, this confirms it. Nine Days went into the studio and basically had ''everything'' that might make them even ''remotely'' distinctive scrubbed off of them. Which is probably why the single cracked the Top 10 but the album never even reached the Top 50. Which doesn't surprise me, who would buy this!? No wonder that album was only certified... gold... wait... wait, a gold record, that's 500,000 copies. ''[incredulous]'' Seriously, half a million people bought this? '''This?!''' ''[double {{Facepalm}}s]'' Oh my ''God'', we gave the record industry so much money back then. That wasn't even fifteen years ago! Christ, it's like I watched the fall of the Roman Empire!
