Grief is defined as "a deep poignant distress caused by or as if by bereavement." In order for one to heal from the grieving process they must go through what is called "the five stages of grief" - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and, finally, acceptance. Through 17 tracks, the album channels the five stages of grief musically and lyrically - and they are as dark, bitter and ugly as one would expect. LP includes digital download.
