The lyrical content really is just from a different perspective than Aenima and Lateralus. It doesn't deal with the Forty-six and Two, Third Eye, Parabola, Lateralus, and Reflection-stylee subject matter. The majority of the album is a lot more political than Maynard has ever been on any one previous album, more specifically about being human today. Especially after the Channel V interview from the Lateralus era and A Perfect Circle's release of eMOTIVe, while I definately am, at the same time I am really not all too surprised...it caught me off guard, but it does kind of make sense. And really, the credit we give Maynard for being super poetic, song for song from album to album, really comes out to about a 50/50 ratio. Most of it from Lateralus, and a fairly decent portion of Aenima. I hadn't really realized that until this album though, because I did find the lyrics to be a bit of a challenge, too.
And really, anybody that enjoyed any of the six songs on Opiate (Especially Hush, Cold & Ugly, and certainly Jerk-off),
