Connection to Danger Days
While the album has no linear storyline, the album references several concepts that are close to the heart of Danger Days, including rebellion, death, and sacrifice. The songs are interspersed with spoken tracks from Dr. Death Defying as he gives the listeners updates on the Zones. "Jet-Star And The Kobra Kid/Traffic Report" claims to report the deaths of Kobra Kid and Jet Star; however, the characters are alive (only to die again) when the "SING" video takes place.
