just got the cd and I must say it has some of the most stunning artwork I've ever seen on the inside booklet.
The cd itself is very much in the vein of their previous 2 albums, but they still try quite a few new ideas and song structures. The lyrics of the first few songs are actually about the guy writing "the story" and how what occurs in his life changes the events in his narrative. Then the last four songs take place in the story and are called "the Willing Well".....and these songs are fucking insane!!!
"Jesse, just come look at what your brother did, to this girl's precious little whore of a body!"
