Concept
Generation 13 is a concept album, written by bassist Jim Crichton, which is inspired by the 1993 book 13th Gen: Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail? by American authors Neil Howe and William Strauss. The book identifies those born between 1961 and 1981 as America's 13th generation, in terms of 20–25 year periods since the American Revolution.
