* {{Eagleland}}: ''Home of the Strange'' frequently leans into critiquing "'Murica the Boorish", with album opener "Amerika" commenting on the false promises the United States offers immigrants only to often leave them feeling rejected. The title track wraps the album up on a slightly more optimistic note, playing off of "America the Beautiful's" reflections on the nation's promise but suggesting they have been unmet.

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: "Mr Know-it-All" is about a couple who both fancy themselves to be very sophisticated, listening to Music/DavidBowie and [[Music/WolfgangAmadeuMozart Mozart]] and quoting Creator/ErnestHemingway. However, the narrator (who eventually identifies himself as "Mr. Know-it-All") confirms that neither of them are actually all ''that'' smart (implying that [[SmallReferencePools they know little outside of the big names), that he is "boring as fuck", and that they both rely on drugs and cheap thrills to cover up for how shallow they and their relationship truly are.

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_the_Giant Young the Giant]] is an American rock band from Irvine, California. Its current lineup consists of Sameer Gadhia as lead vocalist, Jacob Tilley and Eric Cannata as guitarists, Payam Doostzadeh on bass, and François Comtois on the drums. Curiously, all five of them are either immigrants or sons of immigrants.

The band began life in 2004 as The Jakes, with a lineup of Sameer and Jacob alongside Addam Farmer, Kevin Massoudi, and Ehson Hashemian. After a few personnel shake-ups, the band settled by 2008 as Sameer, Jacob, Ehson, Eric, François, and Jason Burger. While they had recorded an EP during this period, Shake My Hand, each member had to soon choose between schooling and music. [[RevolvingDoorBand There were further roster shuffles in this early period]], where Jason and Ehson were swapped out for Payam, and in December of 2009, The Jakes had changed their name to Young the Giant.
