Callout Hook 04:26
sealed in tall black iron spires, vault glides capsise i recognise orbits of the nonchalant in texture, last year an extant in mire lay flat incased in flax, mind your slogans and spontaneous combustion expounds on matter's inefficiency bleary mirror sacred light, illustrious an informality all mixed up and not too bright, it might come back to haunt you in the night if i'm missing when the callout hook resounds throughout the city elucidate elation to the armistice invasion mind over matter or something pallid axeman fall to the slab, psych books bounce checks repostulate arson raids to maximize the lasting repercussions of all your fuckin lies acts of punishment, i'll keep you apprised you examine the dimensions and you disregard the size acts of punishment, you act surprised i offer compromise with genuine lies steering clear of sadists eyes, a must for us, a miserable finality all fucked up in dublin, christ, it might come back to haunt you in the night if i'm missing when the callout hook dissolves from overplaying hallucinate verbatim on a grand utopian nation testicle inoculation of an overarching persuasion escalate the tensions of the misled masses father time, mother earth i don't know, i don't search i believe in myself, but i don't know what that is an ounce of fabled service, am i alone i don't want to hurt you, i don't want to know you i already know too much and it doesn't help i don't need these silly stars, go armor poses some grave threat, maybe cause it's heaven sent i drift off and still i repent, i don't need these silly stars

Hop On 02:25
you're not helping to relax me hop on as conceit for lost time pulse: i gauge your insight and taste i don't believe a word you say peal and startle a fading dreamscape up to call a truce with fate gnawing strife is a curt mistake obsolete and incomplete we don't belong in stasis blinking out upon drug-addled faceless prospective asterisks of like need i remind you window sills spark anemic spades how so? compact culled complacence baseline forceps untethered plight ask not the waves to quell their might deign to dine with friends of mine assay the gospel ditch that crown to protect your head i'll tell you when you're dead i never thought i'd say this betray the flaws of your noble playlist auspices passed the torch of lies need i remind you no need to be afraid of me in my trench coat of absurdity you turned my eyes on to the light don't let it go to your head tonight i hope you know that i'm in hell all i have to sell is my resistance you never fell, i guess it's just as well the only thing that i regret is my existence

about

Approx. Running Time: 1:20:54 [so, just long enough to not fit on CD :) ]

This is a remastered [on 7/25/2012] version of this album. If you previously downloaded the original 2010 master, you'll notice a significant difference here. For one, you can hear the basslines better. Other differences include a re-worked "Rock Tonight" with new vocals, a new verse [there weren't any before lol], more drums, more synths..."Spin, Copper" has new "in-between parts" noise parts.

This here is an album I worked hard on from winter 2009-spring 2010. As always there were many cool ideas that I didn't finish, that in some cases probably would've been better than the ones I did. But I am the artist, so I do what I want. Lyrics are provided in a txt file with the album download.

released April 25, 2010

Credits:

Written/Performed/Recorded by Brandon Edge at the Den of Iniquity, Robstown, TX Nov. 2009-Apr. 2010.

My Schecter 006 [stolen in 2011] was the electric most used on this album. My 80s Jap. Squier is featured on "Forever Is a Long Time". "Gemstore", the track, was rec'd in 2007 I think [vocals added in 2010]. The first draft of "Evil City" dates back to around that time as well. "MFT" has a couple of parts that date back to '04 or '05.

My friend Kelly wrote the line "window shopping on OK Cupid is kind of reassuring sometimes" in the song "Kelsome". I hope she doesn't want any money for that.
