Data Insight

Tony Fredianelli writes on five tracks, his last album with the band, and one track brings in an outside writer for the first time in the catalogue. Jenkins is on all twelve. The label changed and so did the writing, though only barely.

Ursa Major came out on the band's own Mega Collider label in August 2009, six years after Out of the Vein and their first album away from Elektra. It runs 47 minutes across twelve tracks.
