Story[]
This album is the second installment in the Wolf Trilogy, although it is the final album story-wise. The first song takes place directly after the track "Lone" from "Wolf" and continues the session with Tyler and his therapist Dr. TC as they talk about Tyler dealing with his fame, issues he's dealing with in life, and his public image. The album ends with the track "Golden", it is revealed by Dr. TC that Tyler has actually been helping himself the whole time as Dr. TC is actually his conscience, and Wolf Haley, Ace, Tron Cat, Dr. TC and Samuel are all the same person.
