This is the latest album to cop a flogging again in my recent quest to rediscover the magic of the back catalogue.
I do love the whole album but two songs really stand out for me - and they flow together one after the other seamlessly. Tranquility and Buffalo.
- First thing that stands out is the subtle but definate increase in "heavy" guitar parts.
- Especially : Power chords and Feedback galore in tranquility; Backing guitar parts in Buffalo etc.
- Starting with the acoustic strum intro, the lead guitar suddenly (and unexpectedly) shoots the song into the stratosphere with its divine tone. This is what guitars sound like when you get to heaven.
- Further evidence: When Buffalo shrinks and softens into a soft strum with Steve singing about the Snow Queen.... Then:
Drums turn over in anticipation of
- Sleeping in the winter...innnnn....Buffalo
There - that bit - when "Sleeping" happens. The guitar again rockets the song back to its dizzy heights above the clouds.
Lyrically the album is also superb.
I love bits like:
- I remember going out yeah
Everything is spinning round
Remember feeling like I'd drowned
Behind the veil is a sea yeah
Only entered into chemically
Anaesthesia down so deep
- Protected by her mantra
Following the nebula
In the sun thy will be done
- Days of drowsy pleasure in the afternoon dark
We drift together, we drift apart
She's got the wherewithal, she's got the knowledge
It's wonderful
I should be going
Ahhh the church. So good, so very good. I often wonder why more people don't "get it".
Lack of exposure?
People's addiction to bands like Nickelback?
Man, some people...
