Agreed. For an example of station id happening at slightly off times, listen to a live sports broadcast (like baseball). Due to the shorter time between pitches, station id will instead happen between batters, which won’t line up with any given time.
Same thing with hockey, where radio station id will happen when the clock stops.
A great album. I’d probably put IKSSE3 barely above it since it was my entry point to Coheed (you never forget your first).
