Lyricist Reese Roper shows his typical awareness of social issues, albeit with an unusual melancholy.[4] "Under Bridges" samples clips from the Apollo 8 Genesis reading[1] and tackles homelessness, through a contemporary interpretation of the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats.[4] "Two-Twenty-Nine" keeps with the space theme, beginning with a clip from the countdown sequence of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and relays the personal loss of his grandmother.[4]
The album cover includes NASA image STS082-320-029.
