Much like Frances, this album becomes even more intense when you really look into the lyrical content.

Rainard Jalen · 05-22-2008, 11:29 AM

what of the lyrics in particular?

Wayfarer · 05-22-2008, 12:01 PM

All of 'em.

At first I assumed the album was like Amputechture in that it wasn't so much a coherent narrative as it was simply a handful of songs that were connected in one way or another, but after looking a bit deeper, there appears to be a story being told.

Especially if you get the extra songs.

Am i the only one who thinks the album gets boring after sometime?

I find myself skipping a lot and not able to sit through the entire thing now.

I found it to be great. The first time I listened to it I hated it, but after a few more I loved it.

Funny, it's the other way around for me...loved it at the start and now I'm just bored of it all of a sudden...too much happening at a time. I'll give it another try later.
