===== Background and Production =====
Originally a 20-track megadisc, Josh was required to reduce the size of the disc after realizing such puny technology was simply not ready for his musical talent in the 2010s. This came at some difficulty, as Josh had "Lost" many of the original tracks, forcing the would-be rockstar to start from scratch on many tracks. Josh would post many of his early concepts for the album covers in the run-up to his album release to draw attention and hype.

===== Music and Lyrics =====
The music heavily features Josh's singing voice and improvised guitar strumming accompanied by numerous backing tracks including samples of piano, bass, violin, R&B and rap drum beats, usually at the cost of his arrhythmic strumming, broken up by what could be potentially guitar solos. The sampling often jars badly with the tone Josh is attempting on his guitar, resulting in an incredibly chaotic sound akin to free-form jazz without the consistency of genre.\\
The lyrics focus heavily on generic gothic topics such as death, destruction, blood, and metal. Unfortunately, due to the sound mixing, it's nearly impossible to actually make out what Josh is saying.\\
The album's sixth track, Love Sick, includes the opening minute of Crossfade's Cold in lieu of an intro.

===== Track Listing =====
