[edit] Trivia
He is Legend draw inspiration from literature and movies for their songs. On this album, they reimagine these stories with pop culture or, more specifically, Hollywood.
The Seduction seems to be an interpretation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Eating A Book appears to be based of the book I Am Legend. Not only did the band base their name of this book but this song seems to draw connections with the vampire-hunting protagonist and the shady music industry.
The Walls Have Teeth is a take on The Three Little Pigs and murder.
