Notes

Subtitle on front cover: fourteen songs about seven people, two houses, a motorcycle, and a locked treatment facility for adolescent boys.

Quote on back cover: It is clear that if one has a substantial collection of molecular groups, then it is quite a different matter for any other creature to pass through the groups, but a so-called "ghost" which has its molecules widely spaced can easily pass through a brick wall. - T. Lobsang Rampa, You Forever

The LP is packaged in a deluxe gatefold jacket, and features a newly-penned 1,800 word essay detailing the songwriting and recording process for the album. Also includes a digital download of the full record plus seven additional contemporaneous tracks.
