Q2K vs OM:2

[chimaera]

Tough question, but i prefer Q2K, no question. The album has an atmosphere that i enjoy, very autumnal feeling. Love Greys guitar-solos, especially in One Life! How Could I is nothing but a great tune, Beside You is beautiful, Breakdown is fun in a kind of Empire-way but with a Promised-Land vibration. Wot Kinda Man is underrated, Right Side of My Mind is lovely.. wait a minute i´m just checking out the re-mastered cd - it´s got two n e w songs on it.. i have to order it right now.

But first some words on OM:2.
An. Empty. Cd.
I like Signs Say Go, a really angry fucker.. also there is a super-beautiful intro to one song, can´t remember which right now.. eh

Chimaera - you're the photo negative of a music fan

:np: Ministry - The Last Sucker

OM:2 kinda got stale to me after a few listens. Its decent, but meh.

Q2k never had me. I like 2 tracks off it.

Also: i´m starting to feel like the last sucker who still actually buys cd´s.

I'm with you. So at least you're not a sucker alone...

[chimaera]

Glad you´re with me, that means you think H. Clinton is a prostitute, A. Gore is a lying clown, Q. T an overrated fuck, van Dykes lyrics oversimplified and T. Reznor a genius and underrated as a singer.

Haha. I'm with you about Hillary and Al 100%. I'm not a fan of Quentin Tarantino (Q. T. ?) unless he works with Robert Rodriguez ("Grindhouse" ruled and I love "From Dusk till Dawn" but "Sin City" was only alright). Nick van Dyke's lyrics are oversimplified for sure, but I think he's got some good stuff to say. I've never gotten into NIN but I have a friend who's an AMAZING musician and he worships Trent Reznor. If he likes him, Trent must be good so he's got my respect. So I guess I'm only mostly with you now...

[chimaera]

Ops, and i thought you were a communist
Sin City was only awful.. i mean it was fantastic to look at but the story didn´t move me one single fucking inch.

NIN.. didn´t care for them at first but when i´m at work it´s almost perfect. Lot´s of dark soulful tunes.. with lot´s of post-teen angst. And Right Where It Belongs.. Holy shit. Easily on my top ten ever-song-list..

See the animal in his cage that you built,
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye,
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built,
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart,
And it's all... right where it belongs

What if everything around you,
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head?
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you're really all alone
You can live in this illusion,
You can choose to believe.
You keep looking but you can't find the woods,
While you're hiding in the trees

What if everything around you,
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is that all you want to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?

Just checked out the word angst; is it only a german phrase. It doesn´t appear anywhere. WTF. I know it exists, it´s been inside of me, so that´s at least semi-empirical proof.
