Lyrical genius!

"Twelve full tracks and 1 "outtakes" track (#13) with some rather hilarious content evidently from the recording studio where the album was recorded. Overall the album features some rather interesting points: the lyrics especially stand out to me. The Redding Brothers are lyrical geniuses in my opinion, and they don't limit their content to drab love songs and such. They write of some relatively high philosophical idiologies, such as carpe diem, live life to the fullest, aspects of death, etc. Remarkable. My favorite tracks were 'Rosebud', which I assume was written about Orson Welles' famous movie "Citizen Kane"...a brilliant idea for a song -- and 'Misled', which sounds like it is based on a strange psychedelic journey through the head of a man in love. Overall, I would recommend this album and the artist in general over many of the top artists out there today. Two thumbs up, Redding Brothers!"
