Now that you have it, let me tell you something interesting about this record: it's not a first pass kind of album.

What does that mean?

Well, based on all of the people who have listened to the album before its release, it means that more than likely, you will not know what to think after listening to it the first time.

"Why is that?", you may ask.

Most new music these days is poppy, and almost instantly-accessible. They repeat the big hook of the song (usually the chorus), about 3 billion times so that the song really digs its way into your brain like a chigger, whether you like it or not (usually not).

However, Moira's Lake is not that kind of album. It's a long, complex, soundtrack-esque story with many, many different melodies and changes per song, and it does not repeat itself to the degree that many modern radio songs do.

Therefore, it simply takes longer to become familiar with it.

Most people who have completed the daunting first pass listen have confessed an odd feeling at the journey's conclusion:

"Wow, that was really amazing..... but I'm not even sure how I feel about it."

Interesting.

I even had someone say that they "didn't WANT to like it," due to how emotionally-drained and almost depressed he felt after listing through the whole experience the first time.

Not because he did not like the music mind you, but because the journey was so "overwhelming and sad" that he did not know if he wanted to feel that strongly again.

...But he could not stop listening.

(You can't ask for a better reaction than that!)

After testing the record with many people, we've learned that it is usually after the 3rd or 4th pass listen, that most people say they've suddenly "fallen completely in love with it"; the music, the story, the mood, the emotion.

So don't be worried if you don't get it right away, or don't know what to think right off the bat. Neither did anyone else. Neither did John, Bryan, or Eric when they first heard a rough version years ago.

But for those willing to make the long, demanding, and often intense journey more than once, you may discover a vividly tragic, emotional, and mysterious world, that for some strange reason, you may never want to leave.
