It's Like A Meditation Room And They Lock You In There For A Period Of Time. The Purpose Is To Reflect On What You've Done In Your Life Already And Move On From It. I Think That's What I Did In Right Here. It Was Actually Therapeutic. I Feel A Little Enlightened A Little Less Heavy. It's Tight". Upon Its Release Salad Days Was Met With Critical Acclaim.
