This album, if you even just look at the songs, you will notice that almost EVERY OTHER SONG is an interlude. I both find this annoying, but also wicked. I love it when albums have a bunch of interludes. It is a bummer that they dont do this for later albums.

The album goes for a Rock/Metal Opera feel and I surprisingly love it. The lyrics and the melodies are unique, and totally get stuck in your head, like the chorus to Boeing '93, the pre-chorus on Ocho the Lovebud, the verses on Charmer, or the breakdown/chorus on Abracadabra.

Individual track notes. Charmer, track 21, holds an very upbeat and happy sound. I am not sure how to describe it (i suck at describing things) but it is a lovely song. Ocho the Lovebud track 6, has an introduction which i kind of hate, but its short and the song is kick ass. The pre-chorus is such a nice build up for the chorus, with a unique sound, but also not being anti-climatic. The end of one of the later repeats of the chorus really just hits (3:55). Boeing '93, track 4, is really clever with its lyrics. The chorus, "Mayday! Mayday! We're going down!" really works with the title and theme of the entire track, as well as the miscellaneous ambience heard over the track, seemingly progressively more audible. The later part includes lyrics such as "Why is everyone crying", followed by the singer imitating a young girl's voice saying "I'm too pretty to die", which really helps to put the idea of crashed flight into your mind, and also oddly adds a emotional connection to it. San Michele, track 23, is a nicer more acoustic track, where the singer sings from both a girls voice and a mans, resembling a man and wife singing together, as in an opera.

Favorite track: Ocho the Lovebud Least favorite track: CPR (Ignoring interludes)
