Theme of the new album

Meatles · 04 Feb 2003, 21:05

I read the tracklisting for the new album, it sounds great!! I was just curious about what Meat meant by Chapter 1 and 2? Could this be the theme of the new album, it is like a chapter book? It is cool how Meats solo albums have themes, like how Welcome To The Neighbourhood follows a persons life from his/her first date to their death.

they are all just movies, stories. the song is never on it's self. it's part of a bigger thing. that's the thing that connect JS with ML. They see the same things in making records.
JS can only write songs when he visualize MEat on stage or when he sees a story about Peter Pan and Wendie.
Meat can only sing a song if he's is capable to visualize the song in one way or another. That's the synergy between them. in fact, they are doing the same thing for years. with or without eachother.

STeinman songs are little stories! Mystical, magical and hard to understand, but so powerfull!

Indeed, a whole album that is a story is also great. WTTN had such story. Great, but the problem is, that you will have to let 1 song take part in a whole lot of other songs (as part of that story), and that it must be understood as a song on it's own.

But, yeah, two chapters.... real fun.

Are there any hidden thingies on the album? Yeah, just came into my head, some albums have that, after the last song a extra song, or on you computer you will see some vids, clips, info about the artist. Does anyone know that?
