Hey, where were you today?
How did you escape?
The way no one gets away
'Cause no one's gone

Fate guided me to hate
Invited me to take the bait
Realized too late
That I was gone

Say, how can you explain
Person to the pain
And then sickness to the sane?
But it's all gone

Most of us get riled up
Justify the lies that we believe
Not enough to disbelieve them

I've been thinking you've been treating
Situations seemingly unkind
Stockade seems to still be working

Change of heart
Save yourself
So damn long

I get ashamed
So much sound
I kiss the ground

And if you're lucky (like I was), they'll come out playing 4 guitars...no other instruments.  I saw BTS in Atlanta years ago and they opened with the 4 guitars (4th guy might have been a guitar tech??).  It was freakishly unbelievable how in sync they were with each other.  Martsch is an unbelievable musician...and the live version of Cortez the Killer is better than Neil Young/Crazy Horse.

Yup.  Neil is one helluva grand daddy.

Much closer than Alice Cooper..... OK, yes, the organ, eh?   Got that connection.

I am on vacation, but logged in so I could add my voice to the negative comments.  Yet another song I never heard before, not even the band ... and liked it so much I needed to check and see who it was.  A big reason why Iisten to and support RP.

Update: 7 years later and I still had to stop what I was doing to find out who this excellent band was. Says a lot for the band, not so much for my memory!
Posted 10 years ago by GTT    [ Reply ]
Agree with the "annoying", "uninteresting" comments.  Even as background music for work, this was annoying enough to have me open a browser window and offer up this opinion.

So "moving" might be another adjective.  {#Smile}

One or two clankers, but there a several really good cuts. Worth owning. Quite affordable used on Amazon, too.

First heard that one when I was about ten. Yuck.  Never quite the same after that.  Shudder
As for this one, i always like to hear BTS and think they have their own sound.  Probably listened to a little NY though.   ;-)

I too like the diversity of sound in this band. What do you say "Horstman"? Oh, absolutely! They totally rock.

There, we both concur.

I bought this disk based on hearing it here.  Reminds me a lot of Crazy Horse and that guy's voice is even similar to Neil's.  But after listening a few times I don't really have the urge to go back to it.  It is kind of monotonous and repetitive, no really killer guitar work like I expected.
 

I did the same thing and was a little disappointed as well.  A couple of the songs are good but most of the album uses the same formula over and over.  I rarely listen to it now.

The same thing just happened to me! My heart started beating faster as soon as RP transitioned from the piece before. Want to go read all about the instrumentalists, which are quite impressive! The singing seems to take a back seat, and the melody isn't especially coherent, but no one is off key. The guitar note-bending is creating backflips in my stomach (in a good way). Now they have added organ sound that combines suspenseful with churchlike in its riffs. Got to find out more about this group! image of organ needs to go here I am intrigued! Thank you, RP!
