Also, this is just me, but I've never been one for lyrics. I just don't care what people are saying. If it sounds good, that's really the important part to me. I often put up lyrics in away messages or signatures because I really like the sound of the part of the song they come from, but the lyrics themselves are very weird/morbid/incomprehensible if the source is apparent and I get lots of concerned IMs from friends. Oh well.

Well said Frossbyte. That exactly how I feel about the level they took this album to.
As for lyrics I love them. I like to look into the mind of a good lyricist. To see what they're feeling inside and the message they're trying to convey. "Vicarious" is about our appitite for violence on TV and that we wont take a life but we'll gladly watch someone else do it!
10,000 days is one good song from being their best cd ever.
Oh I hear that the cd comes with 3d glasses to look at the artwork inside!
