Having read about the concept of the Dark Carnival, I'm a little disappointed they didn't really use it to its best; it kind of peeped in over the edges, but had I not read up on them and about it I would not have seen any concept going through this album. It's a pity it couldn't have linked things in better. As it is though, really amazed by how much I didn't hate it.
Yeah they rarely go into the Dark Carnival thing beyond the album intros, which always felt like a wasted opportunity to me too, but sometimes they do. Really they're just a repurposed gangsta rap group though.
