The album also comes closer than any other by the band to presenting a loose storyline through its songs, describing how the genetic manipulation of humans leads to the development of telepathy, and how these enhanced humans leave the earth to colonize other planets, eventually returning to Earth centuries later.
The UK Planet Rock DJ Darren Redick appears on the introduction to the song "Goodbye Mother Earth".
