The DARK

For those who can't hear... it just started. Victory Dance "was shown to him by the universe" after LASIK surgery... apparently, the little vocal flourish at the beginning was the first bit he had in his head, and the rest grew from there.

Circuital is about how everything comes back around to same place where it started... he mentions how the vibrations from this record are "circular" as opposed to "triangular" on Evil Urges.

The Day Is Coming composed in the Louvre, apparently!

pretty cool...so far I think they have found this "happy medium" of a sound in between Z and EU.

The band attempted to record Wonderful (The Way I Feel) in many different ways for Evil Urges, but playing it acoustic so often made it feel natural that way... reminds him of being at the country fair.

Outta My System was the Muppet story... you know, given how wild the Electric Mayhem band was back in the day, I suppose the drug lyrics may not have been so out of place after all  ;).

Holdin' On To Black Metal- "kind of a joke and kind of serious" about your grandparents calling black metal the devils music, but also about holding onto something for too long when it's time to move on. Friends in Louisville provided the backing vocals.

Outta My System sounds like Two Halves cooler brother...I wish they took it up a notch and jammed it out towards the end, but still solid.

yeah loved his description of Black Metal.  Holding on to stuff too long when it's time to move on...

Black Metal was the first tune I'll need to listen to a lot more to know how I feel about it...I got a psychedelic vibe from it though which might be a first for MMJ

First Light slowly worked it's way up from an underrated demo into something that everyone liked. It's just about "finding your inner light."

First Light is gonna jam live

You Wanna Freak Out just about letting yourself freak out.   :)

Slow Slow Tune is the "lead-up" to the end, was originally earlier in the record. Jim considers it the "grandfather" of the record, looking back at all the earlier songs.
