Just past midnight I feel preoccupied at the moment when one day blurs into another. Like a tangerine, seeds stuck in my teeth at the notion of one way or any other.
I got a firecracker burning through the back of my mind. My mind's tripwire, makes me so tired all the time. Time keeps slipping by in the blink of an eye.
Bloodshot tv screens practice what they preach. Drowning you out every chance they get. Just a sugar high, endorphin reply. Shouting you down, stealing all your minutes.
Daily focus-training coupled with strong work ethics pointed toward making life more bearable for others could turn around this age for the better. This album is beautiful. A force for good. CHOSEN

Up there with Joe's best -- it feels like it pulls from every record he's done before while still being completely distinct from any Cymbals record in the way it combines the psychedelia and accessibility with some of the lushest, most ornately arranged music I've heard. Plus the guitars still rock, the solos fucking slap, and the ballads somehow slap just as hard. The narrative based lyrics also hit a sweet spot in Joe's lyricism -- direct but inventive, descriptive and endlessly compelling. Emmanuel Castillo
