About something specific?

Think he was referring to their being a lyrics sheet alongside the album...

Reach For The Dead:

I AM REACHING FOR THE DEAD

NOSTALGIC MEMORIES RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD

ALL THIS BLOOD THAT I HAVE BLED

LAYING DOWN IN MY DIRT BED

Sick Times

(Mike)
"Sick times,
Me and Marcus,
Eating limes..."

(Marcus)
"Eating limes,
with Marcus
YEEEE
Sick times"

(nostalgic analog synth passage)

(Emeli Sande)
"We gotta hold on
To the past [Flo Rida: "the past"]
'Fore the future
Has our sick times gassed [Flo Rida: "gassed"]

I'm now going to be disappointed if each track doesn't have lyrics.

Every track features Flo Rida. If he's not rapping, he's bashing the shit out of a glockenspiel, you mark my words!

Gemini features a verse of hard hitting lyrics from Nicki Minaj

The video features her in the club with Mike, Marcus and Will.I.Am. They're all celebrating that it's going to be a big Red Moon celebration, and they just live for the weekend.

Perfect way to kick off the album, Tomorrow's Harvest referring to the hangover the next morning. THUS THE DARK BLEAK WILL.I.AM PARTY SOUND TUNES

The backing track to Uritual consists entirely of the looped sound of Rihanna's crotch rubbing against an 80's microphone, with her moaning about Chris Brown over the top.

lol ^^^

According to Wikipedia, Jacquard is a type of weaving process. The name "Jacquard Causeway" shows they haven't lost their knack for interesting track titles, really paints a vivid picture.

Telepath gives me this feeling of a sort of twilight flavored, shimmery track. Lots of light blue and purple. So excited for this LP.

Holy crap, I shouldn't have clicked that. The Joelma fire stirs up the most fearsome devils in my soul to this very day, probably because I saw footage of it when I was a kid. And living in Brazil, it hit way too close to home for me.

Another thought I am pondering.

The cosecha number stations transmissions were all using a callsign reminiscent of EYDIAB which points of course on the origin and beginning of the transmissions as well as some of the earlier official releases of the band.

Now the last transmission received, the video, sports a gloomy and disturbing theme to it. I think this was meant to convey a sense of evolution and departure, a fracture possibly into the stylistic approach where sound also followed the fracture in the general feeling intended by the music. (from melancholy of the past towards the more despair-styled feel of the future)

i.e. they're hinting at something that will be unsettling to anyone hoping to have another MHTRTC or TCH/TCH, even Geogaddi I think will be out of the loop once this slab comes out.

Personally, I think it will be a departure of sorts, big enough so that it will be unsettling to many but might gain a whole new tribe.
