I'm re-listening to the Cohen album right now and it makes sense.

We aren't just cold, clinical machine-like characters. We want to meet people on every level. There's a lot of depth, and if we're talking about hate, then we're talking about love anyway. To us, there isn't really much dividing line on either extreme. Those are a lot of things I think Leonard Cohen was dealing with, those dualities, like love and hate meeting. There is a lot of love in our songs, but there is hate as well and it's really the examination of both. It covers all areas, all the emotional extremes that human beings are capable of dealing with. "
