    Great album! You're missing out if you haven't heard the whole thing Ty. Saw them at Coachella too & they kicked booty! Seen them twice & Brandon is quite the showman & they sound great live.

    Thanks Anna!

    Jonh I've been kind of obsessing over the lyrics and reading what ppl have to say about it, I think it's actually abut suicide - except the part about the Nile doesn't really fit that.

    Aug I haven't heard the whole album yet but I think I'll give it a shot!

    Suicide huh? Hadn't thought about that as a possible meaning of the lyrics, but then again I hadn't really tried to analyze the song even though I've listened to it many times.

    Hmmm, and here's me taking it at face value. That part about 'when they took me away'...

    I hear ya Jonh, I took it at face value too. Just too much music & too little time to analyze the lyrics to one song. Instead of stop & smell the roses I should stop & analyze the lyrics more often I suppose, heh.

    Nah, smell the roses. Often more rewarding.

    True, true, appreciation of nature is far more compelling.
