Concept and musical style

Bassist Daniel Biro describes the album as "really about encouraging our fans to do just that. To live your life loud, to embrace all that life brings your way and experience every moment of it to the fullest extent. This is the message we want our fans to come away with after they hear the album."[6]

The album is the first time that the band wrote songs together by just jamming as a band, although the band collaborated with Chris Stevens, Matthew Gerrard, TobyMac, Trevor McNevan, and Bart Millard on the record.

gollark: How would you just get an "evil" version anyway? No (long-lived) empire really just sets out and goes "let's be evil" surely?
gollark: Someone asked this somewhere, I'm sure…
gollark: The trouble with brains is that if you stick them into full-power-off (no oxygen supply or whatever) they can't really turn back on again, unlike (sane) computer systems.
gollark: From my limited trek knowledge they just sit there doing nothing.
gollark: Little-to-no material scarcity doesn't mean there's not anything people want which isn't free.A relevant question is why lots of jobs shown in some of the nanofics aren't done by nonsophont AIs, though.
