| − | * "The song “The Golden Age of Grotesque” for example was written in pretty much 12 hours and performed and recorded. This was the one with the burning piano in mind. I just wanted to lay out my sack of notebooks - there were about 20 of them - and I had been writing down phrases that come from wherever I can find them. I spread them out and I started singing. It has such and odd phrasing and cadence, like after the chorus, I hit this high note on the word “Gloominati.” I was creating words that didn’t exist, but it seemed like the way I could paint this picture. Sometimes you have to mix colours." <ref>MM - [[Interview: | + | * "The song “The Golden Age of Grotesque” for example was written in pretty much 12 hours and performed and recorded.
