Every person alive will have those rare moments when you hear, see, or experience something at the perfect moment. Some will try to demean this record for its bluntness, or call it "annoying". This album is a snapshot of a man spiraling into insanity and the manic, perfect music he creating in that period in his life. Every note seems so erratic yet it fits perfectly. Lyrically its brilliant, offering up cutting criticisms of everyone including its own writer. I could honestly go on for days about this album, after 6 years i still get giddy talking about it. If it doesn't resonate with you entirely, fine. But EVERYONE should give this album a listen. If not, but for the mythos behind it.
