The album was inspired by the [[Neil Postman]] novel [[Amusing Ourselfs To Death]]. The album explores how people come to watch a lot of TV and how we are sucked into the mass media. It goes on to criticize the First Gulf War ("The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range" and "Perfect Sense"). It also talks about the protests for democracy in China in Tiananmen Square ("Watching TV").
