I'm sorry if this was posted before. Where can I read the liner notes?

Read at your own caution. The "mystic artist" stuff was cute in the Pisces Iscariot liner notes, but this stuff is damn near unreadable. I'm glad we're getting some explanation of these songs via the YouTube page.

I disagree. I like them. Their esotericism hints at meaning, but doesn't reveal too much.

Thanks. I shoulda guessed.

Hm, SPFC only has Gish re-issue liner notes. Were there no SD re-issue liner notes, or does SPFC just not have em?

I have to wonder how much of the sentiments in the notes are recollections of what Billy was actually thinking at the time of writing these songs and how much are present-day interpolations through the filter of looking back 20 years later.
