too hard to be any one thing and I wasn’t smart enough for you.
and our names are always changing,
but it’s getting harder to prove.
and I said that he was a man for sure,
but he was a bicycle to them.
and I said that I won’t forget,
but I couldn’t bring it back with me.

Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening. Syobnaf
