It's an album in 3 parts, talking about the subject from the point of views of the prison's priest, one of the members of the firing squad in charge of putting her to death, and finally her own tale. 2) Boys Night Out "Trainwreck" -Suffering from terrible nightmares, a man kills his wife in his sleep, and track by track he continually loses his mind as the music gets heavier, doing such things as cutting off his hands, and poisoning his family to try to resurrect his wife. Amazing, while I like Kezia better musically, the story and the concept of Trainwreck makes it my favorite "rock opera" of all time.
