I don't know why, but I find that line so beautiful. I have sometimes visualised this lyric as a medieval script, with the word "sky" spelt "skye". Another awesome moment is the speech sample in Let Robeson Sing, during which the band provides backing vocals. That sample is very inspiring and the rising vocals in the background really augments the part, even though some find it very cheesy. I love cheesy. Also: The guitar riff in Glasnost that almost sounds like its twirling, during "When did life get so..." and that short, stabby guitar during "Regain your...." in Mausoleum, that rumbling riff that occurs with every sentence in that part. Basically just heavy metal strumming but it's very effective. Last edited by Lord Revan; 01-01-2015 at 03:42. |

The wordless vocals at the end of Crucifix Kiss.

Staying with this theme, the outro to Tennessee.
The solo in Comfort Comes. Hell, pretty much most solos from the GATS era. |

Is it OK if I say I look forward to every bit of The Holy Bible?

the way James rips into the line 'drop your bombs on all I see' in Solitude Sometimes Is is the first thing I could think of - then hearing This Is Yesterday live and the wonderful way he hit that clear high note in the title. and then the first JDB line of any of the duets on the recent albums.
...and then I realised I was basically typing a list composed of 'James did something and it was great'.

Going through a real 'This is my truth...' phase at the moment, so I'll have to pick a few from it for just now.
Firstly, one of my all time favourite pieces of music; the introduction to 'Ready for drowning'. The organ never fails to move me. A stranger one as it comes from a much maligned song with appallingly bad lyrics, but I do love JDBs cry of 'mass murderers' in 'SYMM'. Find it really haunting and is probably the sole reason I maie to the final track on the album.

Background "papara papara papara" vocals in So Why So Sad. It's so beautiful. Wish they recorded more songs like that!

I think the music / production on SYMM is great. Just hard to listen to because the lyrics are atrocious.

Yep. I kind of get what he was going for with the lyrics but it's not great. Musically it's absolutely perfect.

How James sings 'slums' in Another Invented Disease.
Among their most relevant songs for today if I may add.

When Nicky begins to quote Larkin's 'Money' during Failure Bound, and the backing reversed music suddenly turns a shade more melancholic.

To be honest, I probably don't disagree with you, it really is just the lyrics that ruin the song.
