Why so serious. Lets put a smile on that face.

A rock CD that contrasts the connotations of the title by looking at the title literally instead of from allusions. An album that has smooth song transitions similar to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Contains songs about life and a simpler view.

Good for you, you exist.
A personal view of religion. Containing rules of life. Well, they're more like guidelines really.
A slower song that contains some grungy verses and quiet chorus in order to emphasize the verse. It has a shallow tone to provide a living in the moment feel. A message from the who gives a ****. Leads into the next song with the ideas within the verse and tone.

Color me UnIquEE
A song that deals with individualism and self pride. It breaks apart from generic visions and tries to do its own thing. Appeals to the less mainstream audience with the unorthodox chord progression and solo. A more experimental song in the album

From the SMILE
A light hearted song that lifts your spirit. The lyrics talk about the hardships of life and how they don't matter. Talks about how things will work out and life goes on. Has a very soothing style and leaves you feeling warm inside.

That new planet smell
A alternative rock song about the pollution in the planet and how its changed over the years. Filled with hippie goodness. Lyrics talk about how the world could have avoided the change with slight individual changes.

The many shades of life
A ballad that wraps up the album and the ideas throughout. Talks about different philosophies and how life seems. Contains a very sweet piano melody and soft guitar chords. Leaves the album with a new perspective on life.

Album Art
The cover emphasizes the extremes of simplicity. The top half has very rigid lines and a very grungy style but very colorful. while the bottem half is very minamalistic and elegant while only containing 2 colors. The cover has nothing but a picture of a flower but in the respective styles.
