Curious about the new album title, I Wiki-ed the term to learn a little more:
"Transference is a phenomenon in psychoanalysis characterized by unconscious redirection of feelings for one person to another. One definition of transference is "the inappropriate repetition in the present of a relationship that was important in a person's childhood."[1] Another definition is "the redirection of feelings and desires and especially of those unconsciously retained from childhood toward a new object."[2] Still another definition is "a reproduction of emotions relating to repressed experiences, esp[ecially] of childhood, and the substitution of another person ... for the original object of the repressed impulses."[3] Transference was first described by Sigmund Freud, who acknowledged its importance for psychoanalysis for better understanding of the patient's feelings.
According to The Source published in June 2001, "During transference, people turn into a 'biological time machine.'" A nerve is struck when someone says or does something that reminds you of your past. This creates an "emotional time warp" that transfers your emotional past and your psychological needs into the present."

While reading this, the lyrics to, in particular, "Got Nuffin" sprung to mind - the lines about not having anything to lose but bitterness, hang ups and patterns. Seems like Britt might be going through a period of serious self-reflection/analysis/improvement. If so, best of luck to him - it's not an easy thing to do but it's worth it!
What should I over analyze next?
