was going through the early comments and found this
"I don't know if he did this on a conscious level, but even if he did, he'd still want to release something at least somewhat redeeming. Rationalizing isn't one of the stages of grief, but I think I'm into something because: 1 - they wrote a record that could be fun for them to play live; 2 - there're things on this record that are downright stupid, like the ending of Gasoline and Be Gone; 3 - The fans would eat up regardless of what they did, and they're very aware of that, so when they do release new stuff, it'll melt our faces off.
What I'm trying to say is this, what if Jesse is buffering lyrics, songs and all to a next record? What if this is some sort of huge "Be Gone" of a record, a filler record only to generate expectation to their next one?
Visualize this record as a whole like an interlude, right? People are really mad at them. Rabid fanboys are still defending like a masterpiece regardless, but they know they're losing at least sells with this one (since this is mostly going to their record label, as much as they care that their fanbase $how $ome love$, they don't care really because the huge chunk of money isn't going for them anyway), but what if this record plays as a weird interlude to when they finally go independent again? They're speaking of releasing some stuff soon, it seems they have to release a DVD to get rid off the major, but what if next year BANG, new record, loads of Jesse Lacey songs and stuff? They are having the cake and eating too, if you're getting what I'm trying to say. They don't want us to fuckin hate this, that isn't what I'm trying to say; what I'm trying to say is that they maybe are preserving some songs under their sleeves to afterwards.
I think I'm the first guy to really decode the deeper meaning behind this record. I'm so fuckin proud of myself, haha. "
holy shit that guy was a jackass

"at least at the bottom has good lyrics"
Not really, I mean "There's a lake, and the bottom you'll find all my friends/They don't swim 'cos they're all dead". Cmon, seriously?

To be serious, I feel pretty sorry for Jesse, he sounds like he hasn't had a very happy life so far. But hey, at least he can let it out by writing fantastic lyrics (on Deja and TDAG anyway).
