The album is a collection of stories about traveling through alternate dimensions,[2] with every song presented as a report back from another reality The Lights Out has visited.[3] The beer can, meanwhile, contains a set of instructions for drinkers to take over the phenomenon of the social media, a phenomenon that triggered a response from the band, telling the drinker what an alternate reflection of themselves is doing right now in a parallel world; the instructions are accompanied by a link to the album's digital site.[4]

The beer is an Imperial Session IPA[5] crafted to pair with the music.[6]

T.R.I.P. is an acronym for The Reckonings In Pandimensionality. It is the first studio album ever released on a can of beer.[7] With T.R.I.P, the band is reportedly aiming to reintroduce the physical discovery of music that they feel has been lost in the digital age and create a full sensory experience for the listener.[8]
