Speaking of the quietus.
I know msppedia have this catalogued already but i like the quietus coverage of the manics, they seem to get them. Some really honest stuff in there about nicky losing both his parents as well. Hearing the tracks we have along with nicky talking about the themes of the album and where they're at as a band and as people really gives the album title some weight and is making me kind of love it more.

Please, he prayed, now -
A gray disk, the colour of Chiba sky.
Now -
Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
