[edit] Concept

The album is a sequel to 2000's Brutal Planet and the song "Dragontown" mentions several characters from that album, such as the "wicked young man" from "Wicked Young Man" and the "family of bones" from "Pick Up the Bones." The entire album seems to be about Hell and who goes there, as opposed to the apocalyptic world of "Brutal Planet." Dragontown is supposedly the worst place on Brutal Planet. The songs "I Just Wanna Be God" and "The Sentinel" are sung from Satan's perspective, as was "Gimme."
