Comments:

Not as superb as 101 Damnations, 30 Something or The Love Album, but still very good. A bit darker than the previous albums, and slightly less melodic. Well, maybe it is just as excellent, but there are some different styles here as well, along with the old Carter style songs. Like 'Lenny And Terence', for instance, disted drums and disted voice, almost 'industrial' sounding with a rock groove. A good track.

Remember 'Jurassic Park'? Well, here's another album from that year with a big dinosaur all over it... sort of a kick at Spielberg.

'Suicide Isn't Painless' is AFAIK some sort of response to the re-recording of the old M*A*S*H song Suicide Is Painless by hyped up indiepop/rock band Manic Street Preachers. "A little suicide sells."

Who are Lenny and Terence? Lenny Kravitz and Terence Trent D'Arby, here symbolizing the constantly over-played standard pop/rock artists, played so often you get sick by just hearing their names being mentioned. It could be about just any over-played popstar shoved down your throat in all possible media, it just happened to them at the time.
