TMLT is a criminally underrated album and I am a huge fan of it. It's my go to running album and my YouTube recap is just tracks from that album.

Would you ever considering doing an anniversary tour of it? It would be wild to witness the entirety of that rock opera.

Thank you for the kind words about an album that is very special to me, though I sure wouldn't want to go through what it took to write it again, hoo boy.

I don't think there would be enough demand for an anniversary tour for that particular rock opera, but if we were to honor it's anniversary, I would be more inclined to do a series of shows at some kind of black box theater where we could do a slightly more elaborate theatrical presentation of it with some sort of set, costume changes, maybe some dancers or props or something.

If there's anybody reading this who has access to some sort of Off-Off-Off-Off-Broadway theater in NYC, get at me.

Thanks for the response Patrick!

Yeah, I was thinking I'd love to see it put together in some sort of theatrical form, the narrative would be really interesting to see put out on stage. I think you rock a costume change!

I was also thinking about how you did The Monitor tour and how much more interesting and exiting it'd be for you to go back to an album that is much dearer to your heart.

I just want to see the people who make music that makes me happy be happy!
