Trying to decide which Mark McGuire album to have on my all time favorite list. I think this one is the front runner, just have a deep emotional connection to it. I love the snippits of home movie field recordings spattered throughout.
For people unfamiliar with him, he does amazing things looping his guitar(s) into a very blissful almost psychedelic campfire/folk feel.
This album is like a nostalgic look back on one's life while surrounded by friends and loved ones, just remembering all the good times. Very emotional album, while having no lyrics except for the home movie clips.
If you're a metal fan, don't sleep on this one. First song is a 12 minute work out of different metal genres. The oppressively heavy drone/feedback to end the song is perfect. Love the lyrics to this one too:
The sky is turning brown and the trees are shriveling up Pollutants are rising, colliding, and raining down We thought the end would be aflame, with deadly shrieks of pain We thought the fury would pour straight from our very souls And the bastards' heads would stare down from the tops of poles But we started at the end We started at the end...
Unwittingly, we mimic society With our sub-sects, genres, and in-fighting Not realizing that our constant agitation Has roots in our need for transient migration To exist like this is a constant struggle And sanity is a state of mind reserved for the passive
We stopped watching the news 'cause we couldn't take it anymore We've been a plague upon this earth since a long long time ago We try and try to stop the tide, but we know we're all doomed We're drowning in our own confusion, reaching for the moon We squirm and twitch as our nature persists Telling us we can't live this way, we must resist We're dreamers, wide awake amid comfortably sleeping sheep Lazy grazers, passively placid, constantly telling us "Rest your head, you worry too much"...
I woke up in a cold sweat from a dream that has come true The end times are upon us and there's nothing we can do We're pollinating hatred at a rate the bees can't match And the Devil's mouth is open and we're going down the hatch
Apocalyptic nightmares seem so quaint compared to this A creeping, slow decay of life which we all seemed to miss And what we miss is always all that nature seems to catch We've ripped the earth wide open and we're going down the hatch
The padlock on the gates of hell hangs from a rusty slot And keeping that thing locked seems like the only chance we've got But we invented hell and that's why we're the key that turns the latch And the Devil's mouth's wide open and we're going down the hatch
Why do we participate so willingly?
A dependent stain In our isolation We remain reluctant, fawning parasites Rising, colliding, and raining down

You're like two years behind GL on that one. Sorry.

When am I not? But I'm not just discovering this one. Been trying to assemble my all time fav list and came back across this one and threw it on.
