 By late 1982, Hart's drumming "rushed the music along more precisely than ever" and he and Mould, who traded vocal duties, were singing more tunefully.While Mould was the band's primary songwriter, Hart began writing more songs.Hart wrote two songs for 1983's "Metal Circus" EP, the "perversely sing-along" "Diane" and the "impassioned speed-pop gem" "It's Not Funny Anymore".
