Listened to Bibleland in the car today while on my way to a substitute teaching assignment. Wanted to know what some of your impressions are of that recording. It took me a while to get into it because of all DA's work it's the hardest to hear the lyrics. Also the hardest rock they've done. But repeated listens won me over. (After all, it is DA!)
Some of the songs on it I'm not quite sure what they mean. Particularly "Low Crawls in High Times" & "Out in the cold." Also "Pete & Repeat" (though I think that one's about gossip). Knowing how Terry hates to explain his songs, I'm wondering whether any of you like attempting it.

I like Bibleland, but it's just never really gotten to my like the other DA albums have. Some good stuff, but I don't really like the style too much.

Bibleland has a special place in my heart like all DA releases. My favorite songs are She's Working Here and Constance Of The Universe. The Bibleland song is one of Taylor's funniest too. I laugh every time I hear it.

I know the DAmb wasn't around then, but it fits!

Yes. I used to get The Swirling Eddies Newsletter in the mail. It was really crazy.

I work in Bibleland these daze and I gotta tell ya it's Divine providence that I get to cover (read: remake) this song. I don't know about the rest o' the ablum (intentional) but I got the title track dialed!
DAmb IT update:
starting preproduction at Highbridge this Labor Day weekend, as soon as Duane gets back from Korea (man that guy's got a killer job!)

I think I even have a Swirling Eddie dollar to be used on a future order from the fan club - except that the fan club disappeared. I hope the Avocado Club lasts. I like it. Did anybody get the toothpaste? I never did, but I almost did.
