2616212, So why'd they run the 'orchestral' concept over the 'criminal' one in early press

...in the early press. This new release makes it seem more interesting and makes me want to listen despite my opinions of the first song. Looks like this picks up right from where Black left off with the concept on Rising Down with "Unwritten" in fact it would seem undun is the 'writing' of "Unwritten". New press:

undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford’s internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out ‘on the corner’. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented--postmortem--and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.
