Buka: "Here it is, my life. My pain now lays before your feet. Listen to these words and do with them what you will, though I ask you to curse judgments fist and open your mind to my greatest fears. For this world has beaten me down, and I've shed more than my share of tears. So with that in mind I greet you into a reality of nothingness and bitter dark, and welcome you to my home of escape, my refuge, Argyle Park." -'Refuge'

    My take (top)

      The Argyle Park project was a collaboration of talented musicians and gifted songwriters working toward one common theme, what it is to be 'Misguided'. The music and lyrics within the park are layered with anguish, futility, reflection, anger, and the unforgiving pain of misplaced trust. Argyle Park is a troubling, yet necessary meditation on an indignation towards a malevolent world. Its about living with the scars that are left behind, so that we can teach others about bitter mistakes and hard lessons learned.

      - 1999? "Argyle Park is Dead" - Buka...i think. The park is no more, but the music and its message shall endure!

      - Klay Scott used Deathwish, Dred, and Celldweller as his pseudonyms on this disk. He wanted to separate himself from the commercial aspect of the disk on concentrate on his writing.

      - Buka was harassed by fans and critics alike about the meaning behind Argyle Park - 'Misguided'. This is his response.
      "The whole 'Misguided' story, what the album is about, is man putting too much faith in other men and men will always let you down. People just totally lead you in the wrong direction and it just shows you that if you put all your trust in this one thing that it's going to mess you up. And that's kind of what happened and that's what the album is about."

      - The very last track on Misguided was considered too controversial for Argyle Park's label, R.E.X., to distribute. Buka and the gang however managed to sneak it in onto the last track. The company discovered the hidden track only after it was too late to hault distribution.
