with the sound of the bells (01) we, the reader, come to the conclusion that something bad is imminent (02). that’s right, the devil is on a mission (03). he starts his journey down south leaving a path of destruction (04). meanwhile, a once hero (05) feels unwanted. on his new mission, he feels that his way is wrong and starts to doubt his path (06). right when he is down to his lowest point (07), he runs into the devil. the devil invites him on his journey (08). now that our evil-doers are on their way (09), they are starting to get more acquainted with one another (10). so, our not-so-heroic heroes have finally made it to

I don't really get the inclusion of the last two songs. "I Wanna Be Sedated" isn't so much a downbeat song, and I don't really see it as a moping song. Sure, it's complaining about wanting to get out of a place and do something interesting, but I think that says more about bored and apathetic teenagers than defeated and detested demons. Also, I don't really see why "Futures" closes the album. I mean, I'll give you kudos for using an opening song to close the album, but I just don't think it makes sense in the context of your mix.
I also think it would have been more coherent and just plain cooler if you would have gone with the classic rock aesthetic all the way through, leaving out the more modern pop in favor of the raw grit and devilish power of 60/70's rock.

p.s. id have loved to be able to stick to just 60/70's rock, but i didnt have enough that fit to be able to make the story. sad, but true
