Title

The name, "Too Much Yang", comes from a Feng Shui book drummer Olaf Olsen bought in Los Angeles. Under a picture of an AmCar, the picture text stated: "an example of too much yang". Øystein Greni decided to use the phrase "Too Much Yang" for the title of the album.

gollark: I looked into it, and apparently their ToS is vaguely worrying, although to be fair that's... generally the case.
gollark: "oh yes, what a horrible mistake, we accidentally accessed too much data"
gollark: Although it did access steam friends lists without permission.
gollark: I looked into it, and apparently it's not *obviously* doing spying.
gollark: Which means they think they can make a lot of money through it, hence apiohazard.
