Speaking to the NME, Lytle had this to say regarding the band's split, "It was inevitable. There’s a path that we’re on…we rode it out for as long as we could. On one hand our stubbornness has paid off, but on the other hand refusing to buy into the way things are traditionally supposed to be done has made things worse for us. The realistic part is it hasn’t proved to be a huge money-making venture for a lot of guys in the band. We’ve been doing this for a long time and you have to ask yourself ‘Why am I beating myself up like this?’…week after week, month after month, year after year"."NME" >NME: Exclusive - Grandaddy split up (January 27, 2006)
