I’m pretty late on this bandwagon. I ignored this band for a while because I’m a judgmental asshole and thought they would be really annoying and cutesy based on their name. Note to all people naming bands: if you’re in a band that plays fairly serious music, dont pick a name that one may so easily take for a joke, or that may bring to mind weird al yankovic & flight of the conchords.
That being said, this album is all I’ve been listening to for the past few days. I get chills every time he screams “your body was blaaaaaaaaaacccck”

This is a war we can’t win
After 10,000 years, it’s still us against them
And my heroes have always died at the end
So who’s going to account for these sins?
And I don’t know who here is my friend
Well, I’m certain that I’ve seen only men
Christ, fuck me if I can remember when
Will I never be lonely again?
Well the tides are a-turnin’ once more
Six dark-winged devils line up at my door
Each one is more evil than that which came before
Seven angels find me spread across the floor
You’d like everyone to believe you’re a star
And I’ll admit that it’s worked out pretty well so far
But when they see the kind of person that you really are
Then you won’t be laughing so hard
No, you won’t be laughing so hard!
You won’t be laughing so hard
(Pt. II)
“We’re all depraved and disgusting” I spew like a fountain,
“And debased, defaced, disgraced and destroyed,
“Most of all disappointed” I say atop this mountain
As I urinate into the void
Fuck I’m frustrated, freaking out something fierce
Would you help me, I’m hungry, I suffer and I starve
Oh I struggle and I stammer ’till I’m up to my ears
In miserable quote unquote awe.
But however since our forefathers came on this land
We’ve been coddling those we should be running through
Please don’t wait around for them to come and shake hands
They’re not gonna be waiting for you
‘Cause these humans treat humans like humans treat hogs
They get used up, coughed up, and fried in a pan
But I wasn’t born to die like a dog,
I was born to die just like a man
I was born to die just like a man!
It’s still us against them
And they’re winning

I’m in love with these two “sister songs” off the good life’s 2002 classic “black out”. They make wonderful bookends for the album as intro and outro.

I listened to this record once roughly a year or two ago but I never really gave it a chance. Now I’m obsessed with it. I went as far as to track down a used copy of the CD (for the liner notes!). I have been listening to almost nothing else for the past 2 weeks. Emo revival 2011.
