I discovered it in a time when I was really depressed and going through a very transitional moment - at the end of high school - and it just kind of helped me realize that music can be very transformative and that it can be about lyricism, too. listening to this album, I realized that music is therapy... I appreciate it because it's informed the way that I listen to music since then"

"I think we always want the music that we feel tethered to to feel the same every time as it did the first time, but I don't think it ever will because the first time you listen to something that completely changes your entire world, you feel completely changed... I still feel very strongly about this album and what it did for me in that moment of my life, but I don't feel as sad and lonely as I did then and so the songs don't feel the same as they used to... it's like a memory of who I was back then... now, I'm less depressed... when I listen to the album now, I listen to the songs that are a bit more hopeful, whereas I used to be more drawn to the sadder parts of this record"
