Fantastic post, trag. I think you got to the emotional core of the album, if we can believe what we've read about the circumstances behind Thom's personal life. The only think I have to add is that "Burn the Witch", "Ful Stop", "Present Tense" and "Identikit" are old songs, so it's hard to know if the lyrics have any significance relating to what happened. "Burn the Witch" dates back to at least 2003, "Present Tense" to 2008 and the other two are from the TKOL era (and were both played a lot on tour in 2012). It doesn't mean those issues weren't festering for a long time, though.

The new songs on the album are the ones where the personal pain is most apparent, too.

This is still one of my favorite albums. It's just...incredible. I love every single thing about it.

"Burn the Witch"
"Ful Stop"
"Identikit"
"Present Tense"

That site is really interesting, fascinating even, if you care enough to dig through all the pages.
