lyrics
Scratched on the pavement
and the forest and they all turn into dust
Walking by the sidewalk
and the houses and the cars all full of rust
The places that I've been to on the outskirts of the town I used to know
And now I'm back here praying by the secrets and the woods I used to go
I'm not screaming, for the first time
I'm not bleeding, like the last time
I'm not deceiving, I swear to god I'm trying
With all these blood stains, you'll never catch me lying
So welcome home...
Where there used to be life here, nothing grows
So I stared at the wall
and the wall stared back at me
and as we both stood blank and lifeless
I soon began to see
These bricks that make a house, aren't the bricks that make a home
and what was once an eden, is a place where nothing grows
and the forest and they all turn into dust
Walking by the sidewalk
and the houses and the cars all full of rust
The places that I've been to on the outskirts of the town I used to know
And now I'm back here praying by the secrets and the woods I used to go
I'm not screaming, for the first time
I'm not bleeding, like the last time
I'm not deceiving, I swear to god I'm trying
With all these blood stains, you'll never catch me lying
So welcome home...
Where there used to be life here, nothing grows
So I stared at the wall
and the wall stared back at me
and as we both stood blank and lifeless
I soon began to see
These bricks that make a house, aren't the bricks that make a home
and what was once an eden, is a place where nothing grows

hardcore punk, jazz, alien themes, kind of all my jams wrapped into a tight package. Intense, freaky, lean runtime but feels dense especially being sectioned into essentially 4 parts. Easily one of the best punk records of the decade so far. Also that drumming...holy shit

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!
