Did punk rock get it right?

Postby ArlieKoz13 » 5/20/2002, 4:35 pm

Everyone hear is talking about the American versions of Matt Good's Cds. Is there a difference? Say I went to a music store today right now and bought a CD of theirs, would there be a difference than if I bought it in Canada? If there is, which one is better? I really wanna buy their CDs, as soon as I get some moola I'm gonna.

Canadian version of Beatiful Midnight tracklist:
  • Giant
  • Hello TIme Bomb
  • Strange Days
  • I Miss New Waves
  • Load Me Up
  • Failing the Rorschach Test
  • Suburbia
  • Let's Get it On
  • Jenni's Song
  • Going All the Way
  • A Boy and His Machine Gun
  • The Future is X-Rated
  • Born to Kill
  • Running for Home
The US version has:
  • Giant
  • Hello TIme Bomb
  • Strange Days
  • Deep Six
  • Load Me Up
  • Failing the Rorschach Test
  • Suburbia
  • Apparitions
  • Jenni's Song
  • A Boy and His Machine Gun
  • The Future is X-Rated
  • Everything is Automatic
  • Born to Kill
  • Running for Home

The US version replaced some tracks with the hit singles from Underdogs, but at the same time, these songs interrupts the flow of the entire album. I would recommend you get both Beautiful Midnight and Underdogs canadian version.

That American version looks terrible. One of the best things about BM is the way all the tracks flow together. They've missed out I Miss New Wave, and lost the brilliant Suburbia to Jenni's Song transition - the first is mellow, almost catatonic and then the rocking Jenni's Song kicks in. Definitely go for the Canadian version.

Thanks for the mp3. I love it! And thank you for explaining the differences between the two CD's. I'll see what I can do about getting the Canadian one.

Weapon is amazing. And here are the lyrics (I'm just too kind):

Here by my side an angel
Here by my side the devil
Never turn your back on me
Never turn your back on me again
Here by my side its heaven

Here by my side you are destruction
Here by my side a new colour paints the world
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again
Here by my side its heaven

Careful x5
Is this the world
Careful, you be careful

And you breathe in
And you breathe out for it
Ain’t it so strange how it makes you a weapon
And you get in
And you give out for it
Ain’t it so strange how it makes you a weapon
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it
Again

Careful x3

Here by my side its heaven
Here by my side its heaven
Here by my side its heaven

So the song's called Weapon, Matt Good preformed it at the concert, it was a closer before the encore. A powerful song with simpe yet deep meaning in it. Thanks for the lyrics

It appears to have disappeared. Matt is not that keen on live recordings, and has probably asked to have it taken down. PM me and I'll get it to you.

MGB... greeeaaat band, the lyrics are the best. Lotsa people seem to love Advertising on Police Cars as much as I do, excellent :mrgreen:

*crazy idea*

Who would win in a fight, Matt Good or Raine Maida?

How the hell have I missed this?

I'm listening to one song after another and each song is making me love Matthew Good a little more. It's fucking amazing.

Hmm i'm not sure who would win in a fight between Raine And Matt, Raine's Bigger and looks stronger, but matt's liable to be a dirty fighter and he's a fiesty one too! Hmmmm Raine could always use his crazy ass body convulsions though, he could pumel matt to death, or at least really freak Matt out and make him think was having some sort of seizure :lol:

I know exactly what you mean. It's the perfect album. All the songs fit together perfectly.

The number of MGB convertees is rising...
