I always thought it was more a reference to the grievances aired against the king by the declaration of independence.....

i don't know dude, the insert page in the record is written in the basic form of those old American political documents. It goes:



Prologue

Fear and Loathing in Mahwah, NJ

[lyrics]





Part I

My Time Outside the Womb

[lyrics]



Joset of Nazareth's Blues

[lyrics]



Arms Against Atrophy

[lyrics]



Upon Viewing...

[lyrics]





Part II

Titus Andronicus

[lyrics]



No Future Part I

[lyrics]



No Future II

[lyrics]





Epilogue

Albert Camus

[lyrics]



then below that is all the personnel names for the album.



which is very very close to the format of the constitution or the declaration....

and Stickles was an American History major at Ramapo College so keep in mind that like everything he creates is obviously heavily tinged by history and just generally influenced by it. So.... yeah I'm thinking I'm onto something here haha

Every time I revisit this album or that other one, I'm only more convinced that Titus Andronicus are one of the greatest active bands we've got.
