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.[2] The book says people born between 1961 and 1981 are America's 13th generaration, with a generation occurring every 20 –25 years from the American Revolution.
