OLP says "f you retail, we got black monday instead!"

Not a fan of crackers and pudding!

I also prefer the final lyrics, but still I find the alternate lines in the demo to be... oddly charming?


Oh! Also! "And if you were to stay would you feed them this white happiness." That. That is still rice pudding. You're welcome.

[Sleepy Angel]

Every time I listen to it.. It just gets better and better. If this would have been on Clumsy it would have been a totally different record.

I love Clumsy AND Happiness how they are - but absolutely, this release makes you listen to the album all over again, wondering what other aces are up their sleeves.

I felt like a 16 year old today ...playing it over...and over..

[Tinman]

Also I was reading something on youtube that someone was claiming raine said in an interview in 02 they would never play this song again live and this song is one of the most they regretted putting on Happiness.. Is this true?

I have heard this too. I don't really understand their disdain for the song. I've always really liked the album version. The bass has a lot of drive, and Raine's vocals are really awesome on it (love the vocal solo/fills stuff).

My only guess is that, as the band evolved, they were worried they HAD to have some harder tracks because of the foundation they created in Clumsy and Naveed (both harder albums that Happiness), and that Consequences was added out of a sense of obligation to provide fans with a harder sound that they'd be expecting do to previous work.

Just a guess.

I always thought the same thing about Monkey Brains on Burn Burn.

I always thought the same thing about Monkey Brains on Burn Burn.

Monkey Brains always felt too harsh/odd for me ( Minus the vocals when it slows down, of course ) and was the track I often skipped when playing the album. It took me seeing it live to really warm up to the sound. Steve & Duncan kill their guitars on the track, but it still is one of my lesser picks.

I think that xjsb helped you...however if you check on Facebook in the comments of the last post there is someone that shared a link from Google Drive with all the releases until now

[weezer17]

Thanks for the google drive link. Does anyone have the text from they posted about each song? I have Immune and Not Afraid, and would like the other 2 if anyone could help. Thanks!

Yes, I've been adding those blurbs into the pages for each in the CM's song section:

Was just about to email you till I saw the mention of the Google Drive!

Thanks regardless to all of you

[Sleepy Angel]

Thought I'd leave a link here for all the Vault songs as well in case there are any glitches
LOVING these releases!!

On a side note...this is the first song that in terms of bitrate it's on good quality (256 kbps...the others were on 160 kbps, i know that bitrate it's not the unique thing about sound quality)...however in these days i listen to the song something like 10 times per day...really amazing...can't wait for the things that will come!

[faninor]

I noticed that as well. The first 3 were also a 48kHz sample rate, which is unusual (audio CDs and, thus, the "standard" for digital music is 44.1kHz).

[myownsatellite]

Hmm yes, I see what you are saying!

*clueless*

[A2K]

Okay I'm going prefix this post by saying I like carnival just fine.

However, because both songs have a similar feel and tempo, I get the feeling both couldn't be on the album so it was bumped in favor of carnival.

I'm just saying Clumsy probably would have been better with this song. And I actually like it better than consequence of laughing...... Even the crackers and pudding bit.

[titanMAX]

I like the chorus better in Immune and the fact that the guitar does something not totally lackluster is great too. That's pretty much it though. Consequence of Laughing is still better.

It's a demo that, without saying, cannot hold a candle to Carnival or even Clumsy's worst.

Idk. I mean it definitely doesn't hold a candle to Carnival but if developed more in this form it could've potentially been better something like say, Shaking.

This song is magic, night and day from the last release.
