Kings Road just sent me an email for a single download that doesn't work. That's teasing and I don't like it
They dropped Post-Boredom at about 2pm my time, which is in an hour! Would imagine they'd drop it around the same time.
idk I'm probably going to get lynched but this did less than nothing for me. the music is extremely by the numbers and the lyrics are... juvenile at best. agree with the sentiment tho obv
short answer: no long answer: coming live from planet shit our only hope was in a murdered kid the one god we had went off the grid no future with a racist past but we can't acknowledge that so we burn a cross and pray to a flag we'll wave it high those pigs are fat with "pride" the karma wheel is flat even the ten commandments cracked there's no law when the outlaw wears a badge so throw a brick. the tool becomes an instrument whose fucking side are you on whose fucking side are you on? when all the lines that were drawn. are washed away in the blood whose fucking side are you on? what kind of heaven awaits someone so cruel and afraid? but they gated hell. you could be living well in your private hell. so give em rope. lets give em rope. yea give them rope or the guillotine. better yet, the guillotine. yea the guillotine. honesty's not a virtue when you're a lying piece of shit. you're a soulless hypocrite love is not a virtue when you're a heartless piece of shit. vou're a soulless hvoocrite monsters, we stand no chance without vour heads. you fucking monsters. we stand no chance without your heads. I want heads. what kind of death can you buy thats any different than mine? so give em rope. lets give em rope. vea give em rope or the guillotine. better yet, the guillotine. yea the guillotine. fuck you. die. you're already dead inside. we're all trapped on planet shit our onlv hope was in a murdered kid the one god we had went off the grid vour suicide is our onlv chance at life whose fucking side are you on? whose fucking side are you on? when all the lines that were drawn. are washed awav in the blood the blade that cuts through their spine has good people on both sides
When I first heard the intro I thought you were insane, but as the song went along I agreed more with this. Not bad by any means, and I'm sure I'll come to enjoy it more and won't skip it in the context of the album, but certainly my least favorite of the songs released so far. The mispronunciation of "guillotine" certainly doesn't help.
I think it has great spots for singalongs for live shows, but for, uhm, home listening it's a bit... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and yeah obvs ETID can't write a bad song per se, but the bar is so fucking high with the last 4.
Yeah I'm not a big lyrics guy and this song is pretty fun. Hard to imagine guitars sounding any better than they sound here.
They’d actually been playing this for a bit before the pandemic. I saw them play it 3/12/2020 in Chicago.
