Description/Reviews:

The album is a collection of vocal and instrumental tracks around an overall theme of cognitive errors, particularly overconfidence, and our repeated failure to learn from history.

The album is broadly within the genre of progressive rock, but includes elements of alt-rock, classical music, minimalism, and electronic music.
