This album is really good i kind of hated them but now i kind of like them there album has a good story line. I got this from wikipedia:
Story Line
Kezia is a "situationist requiem", similar to a concept album in that it tells a story. It is an elegy of a young woman named Kezia and her execution. The story is chronicled in the perspective of three characters: The Prison Priest, The Prison Guard/Gunman, and Kezia herself. Each character is designated a section containing three songs, with a single retrospective finale concluding the album. The three characters represent an aspect of the bandmembers themselves, endowing artistic fingerprints to a deeply personal album.
Kezia was not intended to be listened to superficially; only a fraction of the story and emotion will be heard in this way. Aesthetic should surpass the musicianship, and focus paid to deciphering the cryptic lyrics; the theme is more than a pretentious backdrop, but tells an interesting and complex tale. The album was written to be interpreted in its entirety, not skimmed at face-value. The story (which is admitted to be heavily influenced by the works of Dostoevsky) of Kezia was conceived by bassist Arif Mirabdolbaghi when the band members were in grade eleven (2002-2003), and recording was finished in 2005 when they were at the ages of eighteen and nineteen.
