Without a doubt, this is the most ambitious record Ive ever done.
The collection houses a common theme of tension within your soul, a war within yourself, says Avary.
Avary also calls it the hardest album The Rocket Summer has put out.

There wasnt much thought of, Is this a Rocket Summer album?
when I was making it.
I pushed myself to do something I never would have done in the past.
That includes recording 30 to 40 songs that didnt make the album.
He jokes, Maybe years later, Ill come back and makeZoetic 2.
But until then,The Rocket Summer will tourwith the 11-track collection.
The run kicks off March 11 in Houston and will go through April.
