This is a great album. I love the feel of it. It is amazing, even when they are talking about the evils of war or poverty and corruption, they simultaneously acknowledge it as part of the ineffable human condition. the depth is really welcome, and the music is completely feel good, even about the bad,.. for that too shall come to pass.
The musical influences vary from industrial to classic to pink floyd to hip hop (which i wish there was more of, to be honest). ever knew about, and if you need an album to put on to just disapear into an underlying metophor of human tendency to disharmony, so that one day we may know harmony, this is, as AYHJA, would say *that* deal.
In particular, Sufi wisdom (including references to Rumi) and ideas promoted by Gurdjieff and Ospensky abound in this one,.. including the name of the album, which was inspired by "Beelzebub's tales to his grandsons" (which is a phenomenal phlosophically-fictiona account detailing the beauty of the weakness/strength of the human nature, and punctuates how it will either be or demise, or our salvation .)
