The album is full of haunting verses and epic choruses that would be just as at home in a huge arena or in a small, hole-in-the-wall club.

Rather than talk about folk standby topics like tall tales and politics, Mason opts to use the folk form to verbalize the 20-something experience. If nothing else, Mason is undoubtably the first performer to use the name "Ritalin" in a folk song.

For the past several weeks, youths all over France have protested a law that would give workers under 26 a two-year trial period where employers could fire them at any time for any reason.This law was aimed at increasing youth employment in France.
