Cracking tune Jerry! I haven't listened to this band before and I really enjoyed the song. The opening three minutes are a beautiful almost haunting buildup to a louder crescendo of guitars. The lyrics deal with a subject that can often come across as painfully forced and mawkish but the vocals in this have a certain unimposing quality that complements the bands work. I really enjoyed it, especially the way his vocals seem to fall away at the end of each line in the choruses.

Still on my Captain Beefheart tangent. It's a great song, though. It has a kind of blues/punk feel to it. Yea... sorry for posting a second song, but I really wanted to share "Dachau Blues." It's one of my favorite tracks from Trout Mask Replica, not to mention it's very sad. |

Hmm, interesting song. Dig Beefhearts vocals in this one, although it's hard to find any kind of melody in the song. But I like the sax and the drums. really experimental. 7.5/10

I actually quite enjoyed that tune, very touching sort of surreal lyrics but the piano was just great, it made it feel more authentic in a way... 8/10

Thats not how you do it babycakes.
Damn. "Born Under Punches" has always been my favorite track on Remain in Light. Its just so cool, its multilayered in a really weird way but it flows perfectly, its really easy to listen to. I always thought it was about an FBI agent freaking out over a murder he'd committed. This makes me want to revisit the album. 10/10.
