*The Album Concept
KRUSH: "In the society we live in today, it is hard to tell the difference between truth and lies. Since recording my last album "Zen", the world we live in has changed dramatically. It has made me think: what is "truth" to each of us in this world? Is there a one all-encompassing "truth" or is "truth" different from one's point of view. This is the concept I wanted to pursue for this new album. So these songs are made with the deep truths of each artist. Basically, I realized in the end, each person has to make his or her own choices/beliefs. Who ever said that the things we see on the T.V. news is real, anyway?"
