The focal point of this album is the epic title piece, portraying the tragic journey of Tony Piece's descent into increasingly dangerous drugs into overdose with different styles of music: renaissance, classic metal, funk-rock, speed metal, nu-metal, prog-metal, progressive rock, and harp solo. "Pay the Price" is a driving, aggressive hard rocker, whereas "Rock Hard" is an anthemic classic rocker. "Under the Ground" is a dirge featuring the heaviest distorted organ sound and a touch of death metal vocals in the chorus, followed by the catchy "90's Child". "Mare Crastinum" is an art-metal song with a quiet intro under poetic lyrics leading to a heavy metal tsunami, featuring an intricate classical-sounding instrumental section. While still showing SH's old-school metal and prog roots, the whole album has a new heaviness due to Joe's full organ sound and Matt's drop-tuned guitars. Dan's melodic bass and Frank's excellent, inventive drumming give the album plenty of drive and interest.

An all-acoustic foray into folk and traditional music. The musical influences are Renaissance, Celtic, and the late-60's/early-70's British folky side of bands like Jethro Tull, the Strawbs, Fairport Convention, and Pentangle. The lyrics often bear the marks of British folklore or 19th century poetry (the fan-favorite title track was influenced by Lord Dunsany's "King of Elfland's Daughter"). The traditional songs tend to be fully arranged (e.g., the ancient Scandinavian ballad "Little Katie" features harmony flutes, harp, cello, and male & female vocals), whereas the originals are usually guitar/vocal with a touch of flute or mandolin. "The Woode So Wylde" is a medieval-sounding, fingerstyle acoustic guitar solo and "Farewell & Fare-thee-well" is a Celtic flute solo written in memory of Matt's grandfather.
