In what sense are Redneck and Red Sails concept albums? Redneck's subject
matter covers the Oils' usual themes -- politics, race, environmentalism,
Oz culture, the divine, commercialism... -- perhaps a bit more angrily
than usual, but I'm curious as to what you see as the big conceptual focus
in Redneck.

Red Sails' sounds? Sleep, Kosciusko, Generals, Shipyards... what's the
common concept there?

Not meaning to put down others' views -- I'd just like to see them
elaborated...
