- The loss of a material good/relationship/person/idea/natural phenomenon you have taken for granted. How do you cope? Who/what is left when it is gone?
- The finite nature of the world. What's the point?
- Corporate/business machinations that lead to destruction/corruption. Revisiting some of the ground explored in Riot Act, but with a contemporary spin. The world itself is much more important than money.
- Crumbling of long defined, established institutions (government, democracy, bipartisanship, ice caps). What replaces them?
- How do we fight back? What community can be formed to make a meaningful change? Who is there for us when the weight of the world overwhelms us?
I'm not saying this album will tackle any of this with eloquence or tact, but I'm excited to hear more.
love this.
All leads back to Ishmael and yield in many ways
all right you guys.
that's enough with the hope and what not

Are you the one that keeps asking this? How do you pronounce gigabyte? It's a hard g in both cases. I have a feeling this might be the GIF or JIF joke that I'm falling for.

Only differences are 10c version, booklet is attached to the jacket, and that jacket is hard bound. Retail booklet is detached, jacket made of cardboard.

I think the 10C version was book-style like PJ20 and the retail version was just a traditional digipack.
Anybody remember "big, beautiful, and free"?

Would you like it better if I phrased it in the form of a PJ-related pun?
Also, switch to decaf buddy. Your heart will thank you.
