Also yes.

What's up eponymous song a decade and a half into a band's career. Ciato you should totally check out Imaginos at some point. I think it's up there with Secret Treaties and Fire of Unknown Origin (a couple songs are reworkings of earlier BOC songs, granted). Apparently it was supposed to the first third of a story about a dude who's made immortal by aliens in order to be their agent and meddle with human history (and BOC is always best when being weird and cryptic). But the label reshuffled the songs so there was no narrative to follow, half the band hated each other by this point, and it bombed so hard their label dropped them anyway. It's sad because it's somehow consistently great work anyway (also the heaviest thing they recorded).
It does have a Satriani solo in the middle of probably its best song though (Fraaankeeeensteiiiiiiiin). Apparently his session work here paid for Surfing With the Alien, so at least it worked out for somebody.
