[edit] Background

The album is a continuation of the "Spock and Space" sound he embarked on his debut album. Majority of the songs show Spock's softer side, along with his struggle between being human and Vulcan. There are also songs that may be considered unfitting for a Vulcan, which consists of novelty, pop, country and love songs.
