I've said this almost everytime it's come up. Baby Shakes is a lost recording from the Rocky Horror Picture Show productions. "Sweet Tranvestite" rip off or something. The whole album is enjoyable, and that song is amazing. But the music oh my god. Rocky Horror, Hello!

So did anyone get the digital download yet from their pre-order? I've been waiting to listen to the album until I got mine, and it still hasn't been sent yet. Damn it.


ALSO, I have one extra ticket to Thursday's show if anyone is interested. PM me

likely - and the show that happens this week will likely feature all the members of the band

YES. It reminds me soooo much of Rocky Horror! I am glad it's not just me!

Honestly, I'm quite disappointed. It's not quite what I expected. I really, really love Piano Wire #12, but the rest of the album just doesn't do it for me at all. :/ I feel like on a lot of the tracks, the lyrics don't match up to the music. Maybe if I could see the lyrics I could find something I like, but right now, it's mostly just gibberish, and I dislike that. :[

true, was wondering if it was ever confirmed if sapone produced this... but the fangirl in me wants to know if jesse lacey is doing bass.

there's a rough working of all the lyrics in the shone thread (still going at 17500+ posts strong). I think understanding the lyrics will definitely help. A major part in this album is understanding the story the lyrics and marketing have told. without that i could really see this being just nonsense.

As for the negativity on here, what I don't understand is that people are complaining about the vocals, yet to me they are very similar to an early Robert Smith. The Cure are held in pretty high regard on Absolutepunk, so this makes me think that nobody has actually listened to the Cure, and only say they like them because Robert Smith's vocals on that one really good blink song. Also, the lyrics and vocals are clearly meant to be theatrical and I don't think people are picking up on it.

Back to the record, Bestial is one of the best album closer's I've heard in a couple of years, such a good song. The pre-chorus section after the lyrics "he better have his boots on" is phenomenal. This record is too good to get buried by its own hype. Hopefully in time the right ears get to hear this, as its definitely not a record that fits with most users of this website

Fall Out Boy got over 1000 hits today ... I think that says enough

oh my god

[Star Slight]

lol never listened to the cure

[brighteye]

Anyone find any live vids??

[RyanPm40]

Really dig Piano Wire #12 and Metal Bones so far. Just started listening the album so I hope the other tracks are as good. Metal Bones is awesome
