Album Notes & Community Reviews

A highly theatrical interpretation of a Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill operatic composition, showcasing the band's vast, eclectic influences beyond standard rock. The bizarre arrangement, featuring Ray Manzarek's plinking marxophone and Jim Morrison's increasingly deranged vocal delivery, created a deeply unsettling, carnival-esque atmosphere.
