They've said themselves, there's only so much that they can throw out there to teach people, show them a different way to look at things.
You ever just get tired of talking to someone because they don't seem to be listening or understanding so you just kind of say "fuck it" and do your thing?
This album has some weaker parts, some good parts and some incredible parts.
I feel the same about all of their albums, really, and love them all.
Obviously we haven't all transcended our physical vessels to join a massive energy web because here we are, still experiencing all of this...
the same bullshit, the same pain, the same ignorance and separation and lack of any kind of understanding or evolution.
Frustration. That's the theme, I think.

we have a winner! couldn't agree more.
