The lyrical content is both a release of emotions as well as an expression of some realities. Political minds will love these tracks as they will have you thinking and questioning the deeper meaning.

The CD Cover is simple yet powerful with an animated fist crushing a heart shaped grenade. Great art work to
describe the material enclosed. The inside jacket is a must read. The hand written lyrics allow you to connect even
more with each track and where the mind set was when lyrics came to be.

If you have not purchased this CD yet, your music collection can not be considered complete. "American Idiot" is the must have, must buy record of the year!
