What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



These guys are warped. Subject matter of these songs is all over the place. Each line, your hanging on for the
follow up. Love the deep voice of Brad Roberts. The music is what fails for me on most of it. Only like half of the
tracks on here, and love nothing. Surprised to see this Canadian group is still kicking. More popular in the great
white north than here with their debut in '91, The Ghosts That Haunt Me, and the single of Superman's Song. Wasn't
till the follow up album of God Shuffled His Feet that the band made it to the states. That one actually did better
worldwide than in their home country. This album is the band's third, and the least commercially successful of the
first three, till going platinum in Canada. My favorite, the leadoff track, Overachievers, was intended as the
first single, then shelved for some reason. Singles released were He Liked To Feel it, My Own Sunrise and My
Enemies. That first one about a dude that enjoyed the feel of a tooth being pulled out, was the bands highest
charting song yet in Canada, reaching #2. Never even touched the singles chart here, and the album could only
manage #78.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Trasck - An Old Scab

Best Track - Overachievers

Long ago, a woman prayed that her suitors be
Repelled so she might serve God, be His only
God heard her prayers floating up and his heart was cheered
He rewarded her amply with a full beard

But then she wondered if she should start to take it easy
"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly

A student of behaviour psychology
Conditioned himself to stick to his studies
He grew tired of these routines and tried to drop them
But he was caught in his own trap and couldn't stop them

And then he wondered if he should start to take it easy
"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly

Once a man was determined to get into
The program for astronauts and go to the moon
Finally he was in space, saw the planet
Fear struck and he threw up inside his helmet

Then he wondered if he should start to take it easy
"Overachiever" might be putting it mildly
