Didn´t Jason say there is a fine line between a great song and a disappointing one ? Well, what I am missing is ... reverb. Yes, I think there no reverb on this record, the songs are too "dry". That`s why I don`t like the ballads and prefer songs like Cool Waves or All of my Tears.

Good, very good, especially the freak out at the end. Could even be more extreme, but I really enjoy it.

The best of the ballads imo, but still miles away from older ones.

Heading for the top now

TZhere are Spz records where I prefer the slow songs and albums where I prefer the rock songs. This time, I clearly enjoy the rock songs, they are very good. This is another fine example. It`s on heavy rotation.

Don`t really know what to say. It`?s brittle, which I usually like, but so far I haven`t like it really.

Ahhh, is anybody else missing the vox/farfisa drones ? We get the piano instead :-( Anyway, it`s a great song, would be my second single if there ever is one, or could be much longer if it wasn`t. More drones would have been fine.

I am really tired of the Jesus and Lord lyrics now. The beginning is nice, but then we get what we already know.

Baby laughter ? Whistling elsewhere ? Well... anyway, it contains the funniest lyric of the album after all. "...past the scary Jesus" lol !!

“You're not Dostoevsky,' said the citizeness

'Well, who knows, who knows,' he replied.

'Dostoevsky's dead,' said the citizeness, but somehow not very confidently.

'I protest!' Behemoth exclaimed hotly. 'Dostoevsky is immortal!”

That lyric was written by his daughter. I think her lyrics are my favorite on the album:
Poppy wrote:If you feel lonely and the world's against you take the long road home past the scary Jesus and you will find my door with your name in diamonds and you will feel lonely no more
There's plenty of good lyrics in this album, but I like the simplicity and sweetness of Poppy's lyrics most.

on the albert hall bootleg those lyrics definitely jumped out. i thought they were so weird and beautiful. probably my favourite part of the record, actually.
