Delirium Trigger

We're now, up here alone

Terror on the intercom

Can someone save us

Systems malfunction

Blast it this damn machine

Over and out captain

Something lurks

Creeps on the counter top

Somewhere behind you

Parasitic cyst, I can't stand to watch

It's coming up and out of your chest

(Remember when we were young)

A-sit up, right on the table

A photograph, of Earth feeding me a way back

A-frightened I tear alone or maybe not

The only one out there

(Hello...) hello, when it rings will you answer?

There, in the corner tall short stance it's you

Come on, kill me

You made a good friend, to me

While you were outnumbered and torn

They made us do things...

Oh dear God, I don't feel alive

When you're cut short of misery

Will you pray it be the end

Give a look, surprise, wide eyes to me

Then you'll know just what I am

The scar that triggers, you'll feel

Come know me in a different light, now

Come know me as God

You made a good friend, to me

While you were outnumbered and torn

They made us do things... to know

Run sand hourglass

It's my time, will I be worth?

Spin 'round carousel

When your horse isn't screwed in

Then you'll know just what I am

The scar that triggers, you'll feel

(Subtle, demise, the legitimate cry)

Come know me in a different light, now

Come know me as God

(Raise, forth, lost, cause)


This is probably my favorite Coheed and Cambria song, but that's tough to say. The song picks up aboard the Gloria Vel Vessa, the ship that Coheed and Cambria are being transported to Paris:Earth in. Coheed and Cambria are pretty much there old selves now, and are remembering what is going on. The kind of dreamy little bit at the start of the song could represent this. That is followed directly by a short scream and more of a hard rock bit.

Coheed and Cambria have waken up in these water-tanks they were put in for transport. They bust the glass and start the killing, they're pretty pissed and rightfully so. Coheed is doing the whole blades-in-the-arm thing again, but this is where we see Cambria do some kick assing. She breaks the glass tank with her psychic powers and then sends the shards at a group of soldiers, floating towards them through the air she makes their heads explode and throws their bodies into the wall. The room is cleared, Coheed calmly asks his wife to get the door as they walk away from the carnage. Cue lyrics.

We're now, up here alone

Terror on the intercom

Can someone save us

Systems malfunction

Blast it this damn machine

Over and out captain

The remaining crew are on the command deck (I'll call it that anyways) and they're scared. They're trying to get help to come, but the intercome isn't working properly.

Something lurks

Creeps on the counter top

Somewhere behind you

Parasitic cyst, I can't stand to watch

It's coming up and out of your chest

Meanwhile, back on Hetricus, the two gaurds left to burn the Kilgannon home find themselves at the mercy of an Onstantine Priest who has been sent to find Claudio. It turns liquid and drops down onto a counter top where it reforms and impales a guard.

A-sit up, right on the table

A photograph, of Earth feeding me a way back

A-frightened I tear alone or maybe not

The only one out there

(Hello...) hello, when it rings will you answer?

I don't really follow this bit. I used to think it was Cambria waking up on the ship and like a monitor showing Earth (the destination) reminding her of Wilhelm's plans. She isn't really in fighting form and is scared, the only one out there that can help her is Coheed, but she is wondering if it will be Coheed or will he have already been injected with the Ciache that makes Cambria the Trigger that turns Coheed into the MonStar. I think I was wrong on that because comics clearly show Cambria messing guards up.

Oh dear God, I don't feel alive

When you're cut short of misery

Will you pray it be the end

Give a look, surprise, wide eyes to me

Then you'll know just what I am

The scar that triggers, you'll feel

Come know me in a different light, now

Come know me as God

This could be Jesse, because I'm pretty sure he shows up to stop the Gloria from making it to Earth. If he we're to destroy the ship, I assume Coh and Cah would be surprised. Since Jesse is a clone of their creator, he is kind of like their God. 'The scar that triggers, you'll feel'.... hmmm, sounds like killing Coheed triggers the Monstar effect or something along those lines. If Jesse destroys the ship it ruins Wilhelms plan of killing the Mariah Antillerea, Jesse lover and an immaculately born powerful mage who is leading the resistance with Jesse against the Red Army. Wilhelms plan was to use Coheed to knock the planet off the solar system, killing everyone on it, and blaming Hohenberger's creations. Sounds like something Jesse would want to stop.

You made a good friend, to me

While you were outnumbered and torn

They made us do things... to know

Run sand hourglass

It's my time, will I be worth?

Spin 'round carousel

When your horse isn't screwed in

These lyrics are quite nonsensical and chopped up. "Spin round carousel when your horse isn't screwed in" sounds like someone is losing their shit. Perhaps Coheed is turning MonStar on us.

Then you'll know just what I am

The scar that triggers, you'll feel

(Subtle, demise, the legitimate cry)

Come know me in a different light, now

Come know me as God

(Raise, forth, lost, cause)

I think Jesse just killed Coheed and Cambria ='(
Epic.

Everything Evil

Wait for..

Everything evil in you comes out

I'll stay when we'll only motivate sound instead, Sergeant.

Make for the table... In hopes that I won't be afraid again

call when enabled

And send the leader out against... I will

Stage a reenactment in a false pretense

Exist inflict

Unworthy unconsciousness

Why debate when the actions suppressed?

Then kill the acquitted

Listen to the sounds that remain in question

In hopes to solidify a truce

Amongst the children and the jury that stands the verdict alive

Here among the dead

Evolve Monstar! Show me the things that I've never wanted done.

Evolve Monstar! Do to me the things I never wanted done...

I... I felt much better than this before.

If they find out to avoid

Then the accidents kept hidden away

But if they stay...

Blood hungry, cannibalistic unfit family ties

In a series of knocks To the young girl's head side

Come write me a letter and paste it on my refrigerator door

Inspected inspector, i think we've found something over here

I... I felt much better than this before.If they find out to avoid

Then the accidents kept hidden away

But if they stay...

Jesse!

Just come look at what your brother did here!

He did away with me. [x2]

Stay until Wednesday, And write me a child-like letter, pretending.

At war here in Thursday. Let's make this our last day at home by the fence.

Hey its 2:40am and I have class in less than 6 hours, perfect time for an interpretation! Decided I'd give this song one more listen before I posted and ended up letting it run through to the end 3 times. AND SHE SCREAMED CLAAAUDIO-O, DEAR CLAAAUDIO-O I WISH GOD DAMNIT, YOU'LL MAKE IT IF YOU BELIEVE.... epic. So ya this is another song written before there was a concept that Claudio changed a bit to fit the story, a lot of the lyrics of SSTB aren't as formatted towards the story as I wish.

The lyrics of this verse are just sort of telling the story of what happened in random orders. I'll include some insight from the comics not supported by lyrics. It's like a mixed up overview. Perhaps it could be 'cut' visually into a theatrical experience or storyboarded properly, but I don't see it. The beginning bit is about Coheed waiting for his rage to take over before he kills josephine, because he doesn't want to watch her suffer from the poison. In the comic she leaves patrick in the car and comes inside and starts throwing up. Cambria wakes up and starts consoling her, she has flashbacks of Patrick proposing to her and the grim events of Jersey City. She senses Coheed and via telepathic conversation realizes he plans to use a hammer to do the job. Patrick runs in the house just as Coheed brings the hammer down on Josie, so he books it. A lot of the lyrics sound like the Red Army has made it to the house and are trying to reenact the scene. At some point it seems like someone says something along the lines of "Why are we arguing about this? It never happened." and is responded to with a "Then go kill Claudio!" basically. This is met with some serious Beast action, he lets the blades come out for the first time (due to cambria having a flashback and realizing they have been lied to, too bad she didn't have that one an hour ago...) and massacres a few gaurds before being tranquilized.

Blood hungry, cannibalistic unfit family ties

Inspected inspector, i think we've found something over here

Start just sounds cool, deals with coheed and josie if anything. Second line clearly does. I'll know more in late april when I have my comics, but there is a note left on the fridge that the Red Army (debated to be working with the FBI in this situation) find. Who it was written by varies greatly, likely Cambria.

Jesse!

Just come look at what your brother did here!

He did away with me. [x2]

Hmmmm, I think this put was put in there to let lyrical interpretators a chance to figure out that Jesse is Coheed's 'brother' before the comics came out, and that he has killed someone (Josie).

Stay until Wednesday, And write me a child-like letter, pretending.

At war here in Thursday. Let's make this our last day at home by the fence.

Would you run? Would you run?

Would you run down past the fence?

Would you run? Would you run? Would you run down past the fence? (FBI)

Wednesday = Cambria, Thursday = Coheed (Or vice versa, we see this in the comics, nicknames.)
This deals directly with the letter written I believe, I think Cambria wrote something about Wednesday and Thursday that made no sense (or makes so much sense I am oblivious to it) in hopes Claudio or Jesse would find it and know they were alive. Perhaps 'At war here in thursday' means Coheed is becoming Monstar. The reapeated part about running down past the fence is Cambria wondering if claudio will escape, seeing as Cambria is pretty much in on whats going on at this point (although she doesn't show fighting powers until delirium trigger I think) and is wondering if he will fulfill his destiny, or run scared in search of a new life in a new solar system. The 'FBI' was written in pre-concept, and likely is left in as a way to show an authority such as Red Army, or the FBI in conjunction with the Red Army, is at the house.

And she screamed, Claudio! Dear Claudio!

I wish, God damn it, we'll make it if you believe!

And she screamed, Claudio! Dear Claudio!

I wish, God damn it, we'll make it if you believe! (FBI)[voice fades]

Big finish! Likely Cambria, possibly Josie (Not possible!? It could be. I won't spoil that bit for you just yet)
I think it's Cambria because she has her flashbacks/aheads and realizes that they won't make it, regardless of him believing in his destiny or not. What ever do I mean? Keep reading.

I left the chorus out 'cause I don't really get it. Probably written before hand, sounds like part of a song about a guy who 'accidentally' kills someone in a fit of rage, or is at least refering to it as an accident. What Coheed did was no accident, so it's iffy.

Devil in Jersey City

Devil in Jersey City is different than a lot of coheed songs in that it was written when the band was still called Shabutie. When the band signed a deal they decided to change the name and focus in on Claudio's Amory Wars. In an interview with Claudio Sanchez (lead vocals, guitar) and Mic Todd (bass) that you can find on the front page of fansite http://www.CobaltandCalcium.com, Claudio talks about how the idea to incorporate some of their work into a storyline. Here's what he had to say.



"I just found that when I was writing songs they we're never truly about myself and if they were they were certainly embelished on. I think that's why I kind of came up with this idea of doing albums that kind of work together for this overall story because sometimes there were just songs that lived on their own but they just kinda didn't make sense on their own."


Hee, Hee, Shabutie!

New Jersey bound

So this song is about Josephine, a young IRO-Bot that doesn't know she is one, and her new fiance Patrick. Picking up from the old storyline, Wilhelm Ryan wants to trick Coheed and Cambria into killing their own children (more on why when we get there.) Although it sounds crazy, they think it will save the universe, so they do it and plan to kill themselves shortly after.
Maria and Mathew have been poisoned by Coheed ("Maria my star, mathew goodnight, I know my lord, when I'll be forgiven." or something to that effect.) The last thing you see them say in the comic is "Hee Hee Shabutie!" when Coheed walks in with the poison. These lyrics appears as a time reference I assume. Although its their old band name, people assume its a nickname.



Hee, Hee, Shabutie!

New Jersey bound
When sound asleep they'll find you
At your most vulnerable poll position
Speak up, let out.
When down the street
The corner boys fuck shit up



While this is happening, Josephine and Patrick are out cruising and head to Jersey City. They settle in a little abandoned factory lot and begin to make out etc. They're aren't paying much attention to their surroundings, hence the 'sound asleep'. The 'Corner boys' are the street gang Jersey City Devils.



Let's fire it up. Haha! Now!
Let's fire it up. Haha! Now, Sayonara!
Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor bleeding, bastard.
You'll be getting home real soon
And I'll pray for you high health
Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor bleeding, bastard.
You'll be getting home real soon.


The gang smashes a the window, beat the shit out of Patrick and drag Josephine into the car. You might be thinking, hey if Josephine is an IRO-Bot, why doesn't the intense situation bring forth crazy powers? The only purpose I know of for Josephine was to be an antidote for the MonStar Virus. The lyrics are basically at first the gang having a grand old time raping and fighting and taunting them "Say Goodbye!" Seeing as the lyrics were written pre-concept (I think), I don't really see there being a particular character thinking/saying the rest of the lyrics. Could be Patrick but he's supposed to be knocked out. Could be Josephine but they seem to be directed to her, self monologuing perhaps?


Speak up, let out.
Caught in the crossfire
Compared to the step to the bone that might break
It's too late to find a better way out of this
With the finest regards that I lost
In the cracks of this street


I Picture this as Josephine giving up the fight and waiting for it to be over rather than having them beat the shit out of her. Doesn't really have to mean anything I don't think.



(Take me home)
When you run they'll follow you
(Take me home)
When you run they'll follow you
(Take me home)
When you run they'll follow you
(Take me home)


At the start of the third comic we see the Jersey City Devils driving away and Josephine repeatedly asking Patrick to take her home. Although its part of the third comic do not let it confuse you. Many story parts are going on at the same time. Lots else happens before the third comic.


Chorus:
Scream loud, scream Sayonara, oh, oh, oh
Sweet Josephine, will you follow me home?
Scream loud, scream Sayonara, oh, oh, oh
Sweet Josephine, will you fuck me back home?


I think the vulgarity and insensitivity of the last line is due to the fact this was Shabutie material.



Things are about to explode in the story line. Not really sure if there is any supporting evidence of Claudio K's (Claudio K = story character, Claudio S = Sanchez) story at this time in the lyrics of the next song, so i'll let you know now that he is chilling in some field with Newo Ikkin, his girlfriend (Claudio S's real life woman at the time of the concept's conception was Nikki Owen, I don't know if he still see's her.) He was supposed to be home at 1 and he is supposed to be murdered by 2. He notices that he's gonna be late and they take off.


More to come on monday... I think Everything Evil is next. Remember: I don't know jack shit for sure, I will be placing a pre-order for comics 1-5 (Brings us to the end of Second Stage Turbine Blade) soon and should get them somewhere neat the end of April.

Hey guys! Jaykuk the interper is here. To watch an amazing live performance of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMM0_mQGXpQ I suggest the Starland Ballroom DVD if you're a fan. Hopefully they make another DVD for No World For Tomorrow, but that's another post.

Alright so in terms of the storyline, this is the first part of the story told, although there is another chapter before any of this, it comes out last.

First off I just wanna say that this song is cool... Pain is only a pulse, if you just stop feeling it. Most CohCam songs are very emotional, this one is no different. Also I should mention that there is a minute-long instrumental bit that sort of passes the time between the untold first chapter and this chapter. There is a very similar song at the start of their next album.

So Coheed and Cambria are IRO-Bots but have their memories erased by their creator because although they we're being passed off as a Anti-Terrorism team, their true purpose of keeping the Mages in check with their ability to cool Star-Transformers (thereby destroying the entire Keywork, if done on Star IV, the center of the Keywork) is revealed. Hohenberger's dies purposesly, or stages his death, at the hands of the crazed Beast (Coheed in fighting form.) Coheed, Cambria and Josephine are sent to Hetricus in Sector 11 to live a feigned normal life. They give birth to three more children, Claudio, and the twins Mathew and Maria.

The song starts with a bit of an intrumental section, likely standing for a passage in time, or sort of as background music to where a narrative in the comic would explain their situation. I like it, I want to learn Claudio's part on guitar minus the intense hammer-on's and finger tapping at the end of it (I like how he lets his hair down for it in the video, it's like Claudio the singer becomes the Beast whenever his hair is down lol. He usually pony-tails it for softer songs.) Many of the lyrics come from Mayo Deftinwolf's perspective I believe.

he young stale memories of, play the role to your part.
Librarian find me the pole the one that kicks your head in.
To my own time role your own innocence by.
Grab on to my sleeve the one that grabs at your ankle.
Debate to understand that we all have a flaw.
Then fail to represent your life as you know it.
God grant you one wish to turn back the time.
Correct and create, making sense of...

I think Mayo has stopped Coheed after leaving from work and begins to 'explain' his situation to him, with a few lies mixed in. He tells him about his past with some tainted opinions and explains about the dormant MonStar Virus in Coheed. He then goes on to explain that his children have acquired a mutated strain of the virus that will not remain harmless until triggered. He says the children will trigger the SinStar Virus automatically on their 21st birthday (I think.) He says that if Coheed does not take matters into his own hands by 2:00AM, other will do it for him. He then hands Coheed a case with two vials of poison and drives off.

The 'young stale memories' or crazy dreams Coheed has been having 'play the role to his part' because the monster he dreams of becoming is truly him. The line about the librarian makes me think Cambria is a librarian, and Mayo is hoping memories of her in action will help him remember her past. The next few lines are saying, 'Hey, I know you thought you were just a regular dude but you're not. I know what I'm telling you is weighing you down but you need to embrace it. We all have flaws, your's is that you might destroy the galaxy, and your kids might do it too.' He wishes God could save them all, but he won't.

So they pulled your confidence down with those verbal discrepancies.
Now and then you'll gain what they've lost through a challenge of unpronounced.
Pain is only a pulse if you just stop feeling it.
You might be able to use the very thing that makes us up.

I don't know if this is Mayo anymore. The whole verse confuses me. This interp is VERY likely incorrect. I think it's Cambria talking, referring to either their children bringing his confidence to kill them down when they giggle and say 'Heehee Shabutie' (assumed to be a nickname, not in the song but in the comics. those come in form of lyrics at the beginning of the next song Devil In Jersey City. Makes me think this song is about thinking about killing them while the next is about doing the deed and josephine, more on that in another post.) I think Cambria might also be talking about 'the bad guys' when she says 'they' meaning Mayo. Next line is lost to me. Line about pain is pretty straight forward. The line about 'Using the very thing that makes us up' is about time I think. you could say that all we are is all we've done. That is our footprint in the world. The time we've spent makes us what we are, now use the last of your time with the children to make up for what you've done to them. Coheed goes upstairs and gives the children their poison, then plays with them until they lie lifeless and covered in legions. If it takes three strikes to revert back into being the Beast, consider this strike one, and he missed by a mile.

Wait, now, here when will you believe?
Me, I'm merely asking you to help me.
When did I say to murder?
Wait, now, here. Please hear me out.
Time consumer, time consuming, consume me.
Down, and out.
Now.

Flashback perhaps, but it's Mayo again. Coheed refuses to believe, Mayo reasons. I like the idea of a Time Consumer. What is a time consumer? Do we not all consume time, or is time consuming us?

Chorus
Me and my star, Matthew good night.
You know by law, when you'll be forgiven.
Maria my star, Matthew good night
You know my lord, when you'll be forgiven.

Me and my star might refer to Coheed acknowledging he has the MonStar in him, or it could just be how he views spending time with his 'Star', Maria. Mathew is the son. 'You know by law, when you'll be forgiven' might mean he knows this is illegal but he and Cambria plan on killing themselves when this is all over with (I should have said this earlier but being Knowledge, Cambria 'saw' the conversation with Mayo and admits she had a feeling this would happen as long as she could remember but thought she was crazy). 'You know, my lord, when you'll be forgiven' might be Coheed reasoning with himself that he HAD to do it (although the children likely have no such mutated virus in them), or it could be him getting mad at god. If it said BY lord I would assume it means the same thing as the BY law line, but not sure.

Basically the chorus acknowledges that Coheed is going to poison the kids. Coheed is a Time Consumer because he is waiting for them to die or because he has wasted his time with them.

WHEW. One down. Comments? Did I leave anything out?

Second Stage Turbine Blade - Precursor

Post 1: The Set Up.

So I've promised to to begin my album interpretations soon, but to do so, I've decided I need to give a little bit of the back story to avoid confusion (note: confusion unavoidable). Some of the things I touch on are liable to change, because the back-story to albums 1, 2, and 3 is told in album 4.

I'll try to do this as in my own words as possible. These are my interpretations of lyrics mostly, with a little information from my friends at CobaltandCalcium.com.

So when God created the universe, he had three main beings. Man was to inhabit the planets, Mage was to rule over the 12sectors (at least 12 mages, 12 sectors/planet filled regions,) and Prise to watch over the universe and to make sure they do not dabble in God's affairs. It is mentioned that if the Prise challenge God when he comes to change the face of man, he will destroy all existence. They make a point out of mentioning that Mages we're NOT mentioned in that rule. Possible ramifications!?!?! No idea.

Now, the solar system is held in place by 'The Keywork', fans of the band will recognize this: http://sf0.org/media/CrusherJoe/keywork-bloodre18727.jpg

The keywork was discovered by Dr. Sirius Amory. The triangle represents the 78 planets of their solar system. The circles represent 'Stars of Sirius'. These stars act as transformers, they focus the energy of the keywork (more on the energy later) into beams that pass through all 78 planets. These beams act as sunshine and keep the planets from drifting off . The visible beam of light passing through the 78 planets is known as Heaven's Fence. Representations of the keywork are all bird's eye view. It should be known that the centre star is Star IV. I believe that the energy pulsing through the transformers and planets contains the souls of the deceased. Whether or not that was God's plan is, to me, uncertain. I don't think so though, I believe the Supreme Tri-Mage Wilhelm Ryan has something to do with that.

Ah! Supreme Tri-Mage Wilhelm Ryan! So basically, ruling sectors was not good enough for the Mages, war broke out in the 12 sectors. The Prise weren't sure what God wanted them to do, they got in a war with the mages. Ryan won the war, and turned the surviving mages (8 of them) into Onstantine Priests (mutated creatures similar to the original ring-holding kings of Lord of the Rings that search for the short fella.)


Coheed is given a special responsibility by Hohenberger. The good Doctor places the Monstar (yes, like Space Jam) Virus around Coheed's heart. If injected into his heart, it would have a cooling effect on the nearest star transformer, destroying the Keywork's gravitational powers to that sector and sending the closely aligned planets spiral
ling out of control! ZOMG! Why would he do such a thing? You know I'm actually not too sure. I think it was sort of the 'we have enough nukes to destroy everything so don't mess with us' approach. It is noted that Cambria is the trigger, but only Jesse knows how to use both of them properly.

Anyways, Hohenberger is murdered by Wilhelm Ryan's 'Red Army' or he stages his death or Coheed goes crazy and kills him or he doesn't want the red army to come kill him so he lets coheed go crazy and kill him. Coheed and Cambria's memories are erased, along with a special new IRO-Bot Josephine, who is said to be Coh and Cam's daughter AND the anti-dote to Coheed's dormant Monstar virus.


WOW. Apologies to anyone who found that so fascinating they read it all, I got sort of carried away. I'll add retations.) anything that should be added to this section pre-album 4 that I come across. Expect shorter posts once I begin my individual song interps.

And so it begins...

Hey all,



So I heard this here blogging thing might be worth some marks or something for my Media Productions course. Maybe I should start from the start in case anyone outside of my class chances across this, hey?



So my name is Justin Kukurudz. Friends call me Jaykuk because I have an older brother, 'Kuk' was already taken. I'm a pretty big fan of music and movies and video games... pretty typical right? Oh, and I'm in my first year in a two year course called Media Production. It's this fancy place I go where they let me play with camera's and stuff. Feeling caught up? Slammin'.



As I was saying, I think this thing right here (the thing you are reading!) is worth some marks in my Media Writing 2 class. Furthermore, I believe that Jill, our fearless instructor, wants there to be a bit of a theme. I like the theme idea, because it gives me a chance to get something off my chest.

I would like to take this oppurtunity to warn everyone that reads this: Sci-Fi Comic book loregasm soon to come. If you do not wish to witness the lore or the 'gasms, turn back.

My theme is going to be about the overarching storyline known to Coheed and Cambria fans as The Amory Wars... or maybe it's The Bag.On.Line Adventures of Coheed and Cambria, i'm a little spotty on that at the moment.

I Started listening to Coheed about 3 years ago I think. At first I was like any other fan. I believe the first song I heard from them was 'In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3.' I thought highly of it, it was diffirent. I downloaded a few more tracks and was impressed. "A solid find!" I thought to myself. I made a point to soak in as much as I could from them and see if they we're the real deal. It wasn't until their next album came out that I even heard that the lead singer was involved with comic books. 'Graphic Novels' had never been my thing, so I didn't bother to look into it. It wasn't until shortly after this that I read that their albums were telling a story and connected that with the comics. I began researching in my spare time, at first just so I would know what they were singing about, but then I realized just how complex the whole concept really was.

Before I get too far ahead of myself, I should probably just stop. Over the next few months I will be posting here to give interpretation and insight on lyrics and the comics that encompass The Amory Wars. I will post chronologically in terms of the albums, which tell the tale out of order. I will start with songs off their first studio album as Coheed and Cambria, called The Second Stage Turbine Blade. It should be noted that although this is the first album, it is the second part of the story. Sound confusing? You have no idea.
