I think, "Have to Explode," "Old College Try," and "Oceanographer's Choice" were masterfully placed together in that order.
This song, the Alpha male can feel this tension rising inevitably, which finally comes in "Oceanographer's Choice," that is most definitly the explosion. Inbetween the songs we have a calm. "Old College Try" offers a comprimise, in order to try to save themselves from going over the edge. The narrorator's plight doesn't work, thus spousal abuse begins.
