Winning Days

Post by I AM ME »

anyone buy this cd? I'm really starting to like it.
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

I've heard a few tracks from it; seemed ayite.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

like no resemblance as all, hell half of the time they sound more like the beatles.....well the beatles on crack........who tend to scream a lot every second song. But half the album is all soft beatles stuff.

now i would like so comment on there live shows....


on a scale of 1-10 i would rate their live performance and energy 12536483493, for a fucking rocking awesome bad ass show........sadly the actual singing is about a 1.5. Now recently it's a lot better and it varies A LOT from show to show. the main problem is Craig gets WAAAAAAY to fucked up on drugs and alcohol, and actually makes the entire show awesome with his antics, and at the same time horrible with his attempt at singing.

for more proof follow this link to see him at his very worst, the guy can barely stand.

watch it to the end to see the full effect

of course don't let this turn you off of the band, the albums are fucking bad ass

Is it just me, or did the rest of the band seem really pissed off about that?

And though the hum and sway gets me down

And their slow songs definitely sound like Beatles songs. I noticed that when I first got Highly Evolved.

*tries unsuccessfully to keep a straight face* :lol:

I haven't got Winning Days yet..more proof of why I need a job :uh:. How is it compared to Highly Evolved?

oh and I saw the video to Winning Days (the song) last night. Craig actually looked (mostly) sane :GASP: . The band were playing in a forest then at the end in the snow and stuff is building itself...oh I suck at describing things. Anyway, I liked it :nod:
