There is no greater testament to this I can give than when I tell you that I sing along to “Leviathan Rising”, a Libertopian screed antithetical to everything I believe. I can hear Nick sneering at my commie ass throughout the song

Hopefully, he won’t include a song about Ladder Theory on the next album.

Now that you mentioned it (broke the seal, so to speak), I think he's actually required to do so.

As usual, a ridiculously great post, John. You have added about 30 albums to my buy list. Curse you!
