Extremely sad album about grief and death. You can feel the emotions running their course throughout the albums runtime, especially on the title track.

Very fun album. Skeleton Appreciation Day along with Cover This Song are absolute bangers. The First Step is great too, very hard rock mixed with ragtime and cabaret is a surprisingly good match.
