"The concept is to view the human mind as a hallway or corridor and each room or area has a certain feeling, emotion, or vibe. The rooms can either give off a very strong emotion, or can be a mixture of several. The instrumentals are used to score that mood that the emotion gives off. (As it pertains to me).Just like how certain images or songs bring back memories I tried to do the same for myself to let you learn more about Abnormal(which is why I have little notes about each track).So you are basically walking through the corridors of my mind with the instrumental showing every little detail."
