From the first ominous bass notes of Mike Watt's Contemplating The Engine Room, the listener is held captive on a fascinating and soul-searching journey into the heart of one of popular music's most original thinkers. A concept album tracing 24 hours in the lives of three men in the engine room of a large naval vessel, the 15-track song cycle was inspired by Watt's own adventures in a punk band and his father's similarly rolling life as a 20-year enlisted man in the U.S. Navy.
