From Pride to Praise. In the Little Things. Break the Cage. Sweet Release. The four albums form one sentence -- a single psychological and theological arc, named before the meaning was understood. This view orders all 76 songs by that overall arc rather than by album: the raw refusal that came first, then foundation, wound, pride, conversion, atonement, doctrine planted, the cage, the centerpiece, the pen-down, the body, marriage, Cole, quiet, and the final re-rendering.

Shape: 21 phases. The raw refusal that comes before the vocabulary, then from eternity past through the curator's mask, the temple of pride, the conversion, the wounds, the cage, the personal centerpiece, the pen-down, the body, the marriage, the dedication to Cole, the quiet, and the deathbed where the glass finally falls.
