As I was reading a lot of his political essays, I realized that a lot of what \u2019Satan\u2019 says in Paradise Lost are quotes directly from John Milton\u2019s own mouth. A lot of people thought he was the devil back then.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He had a huge problem with the show of opulence from the Church. He thought it was disgusting. His poem is about the failed revolution against the Church of England, which is Satan\u2019s failed revolution on earth. And what\u2019s more incredible or exciting than a failed revolution?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong> It features guest appearances from Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker, Jason Aalon Barker and Caleb Shomo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) <\/strong>The full tracklist looks like this:<\/p>\n<p>01.
