There are at least 5 others that i like very much (bubble, Bibleland, etc) __________________ "Dorf can have his monk cakes, I live in a world built on inspirations divined from bonfires." 04-27-2003 17:21 EdHead Official Impasto Registration Date: 10-21-2002 Posts: 2,565 Location: The Imaginary Sanctuary Out in the Cold!

Some are better than others, but I like the album as a whole. Blood, frogs, and feces (Won't somebody talk to me) Red necks and weak knees (Won't somebody talk to me) Hemorrhoids and heartburn (Won't somebody talk to me) Space cadets and earth worms (Won't somebody talk to me) Love and understanding, right now Every freak demanding, right now Whining and commanding, right now right now, right now... You just got to love a song with all that going for it!

It rocks. My least favorite song is Broken Ladders believe it or not. __________________ http://www.google.com 04-27-2003 23:06 afterglow Dark Steamy Cabbage Registration Date: 02-19-2003 Posts: 21 I like all of Bibleland as well, Bakersfield took some time to get used to and I still don't "get" everything on th cd, but who does? 04-27-2003 23:14 DaLe Official Impasto Registration Date: 03-19-2002 Posts: 2,717 Location: MiNNeSoTa - HeRe we put salt on the Roads...

I'm a guy who loves variety of sounds and instruments, and Bibleland is not much of either. Straight-on guitar on almost all tunes. Compare that with SotH, which was "out there" but is at the top of my DA list because it is so various and unique in it's tunes, instrumentation, lyrics, and theme. Bibleland is raw, unpolished, grungy, loud, and some of the songs were done in only one take - mistakes and all. Some of the songs I wouldn't dream of showing any of the good folks in my church (e.g. "blood, frogs, and feces...") I always skip over bibleland, bubble, pete, and she's working here. And I never really understood some songs (e.g. Bakersfield) until I read the comments from Terry. That said, it has some great tunes on it. Broken Ladders, Theo's logic, out in the cold, i'll get over it, low crawls, bakersfield, constance are great in my book. Bibleland, like every other DA recording, is just different. To the critics: dig your roots a little deeper on this one, then sit back and enjoy! __________________ I'm a middle-aged hitchhiker...

Sorry to say, but your music has become mediocre so I’m spewing it back to the store. __________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ 04-28-2003 08:18 jiminy Tallowy Tamale Registration Date: 11-16-2002 Posts: 9,494 or you could spew it my way..(not the highway, please) I must admit- my first impression was "Wow-THATs different" (and I did not hear it till like, 2000) but there are times the whole thing is perfect- its loud and a little mean sounding, and I love the entire work, and I think its more cohesive than others...the style goes from front to back- and I confess many of the lyrics escape me still (generally no, but specifically, yes) Finally, does Bibleand have a specific purpose, mission or goals as a recording? And if so, what are they? __________________ jiMinY theres nothing to EVER put here that will please everyone-let alone anyone. 04-28-2003 09:55 Scrimshaw Nick Official Impasto Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 2,527 Location: "Bad news, Mom. I promised my soul to the devil this afternoon." "Oh? That recently?" ~ Calvin and Hobbes Bibleland was always one of my favorites. I know I'll get into trouble for this, but I even like it more than Darn Floor-Big Bite. The weakest song on the album is Broken Ladders. Theo's Logic is just perfect for me. And Pete and Repete has that hard and raw sound that just needs to be cranked after a rough day. __________________ Somebody cured my political apathy but I'm not allowed to say who it is in a signature on the Message Boards 04-28-2003 10:55 Pages (3): [1] 2 3 next » Tree Structure | Board Structure Jump to: Please select: -------------------- DA Related Discussion-- General Discussion-- Upcoming Releases-- CD & DVD Reviews-- Larry - Lucy I'm In LoveFAQs and Notices Daniel Amos Message Board » DA Related Discussion » General Discussion » Bibleland -- not so hot Forum Software: Burning Board 2.3.6, Developed by WoltLab GmbH
