I'm trying, i really am, but after getting the double cd book format thing and listening to it several times i'm struggling to connect with most of it. Highlights for me are critical thinking, hiding in plain sight, out of time revival and onemanmilitia. The three nicky sung tracks still showing the potential this album had being squandered, and out of time revival is great because it has a real drive and energy to it that's so lacking elsewhere. Dear stephen is still one of the most cringeworthy songs i have ever heard from them, and i've heard hazelton avenue.

Please, he prayed, now -
A gray disk, the colour of Chiba sky.
Now -
Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
