Wall of Mouths

Hate to say it but those demos sound fresher and more daring than anything on “One Cure Fits All” and “High Anxiety”. T? should try to incorporate more unusual instruments into their sound and start writing some quiet songs again.

I know what you mean, but I actually really like it. For one album, that is. I love how Therapy? are trying to sound different from album to album soundwise, too.

I’ve relistened to that album recently. Although it’s the best from all the albums that came out from “Shameless” to “OCFA”, it does have its flaws. And “Long Distance” starts so promising and then the chorus is such a letdown.

“2 Bags” from Helsinki has been bootlegged, as have “Again and Again” (from London, Dublin, Belfast), “Kiss me on the Ghost Train” (from Brussels), and “New Song 2” (from various dates).
Valentines Day from the promo is also in trading circles.

So, would it be okay to ask for those songs or would I get crucified for doing so? ;-)

Hehe, just needed a little eye catcher there for the headline.

I just noticed that there are quite a few biblical references in Therapy?-lyrics, especially from the Troublegum/Infernal Love-era.

“you just wanna be Jesus without the sufferin’”
“your ass like Jesus’ feet, worth kissin’”
“you only mean it, ‘cause you look like Jesus”
“you’re storming heaven without God”
“judas judas i thought you were my friend…”
“there’s nothing darker than love that’s gone sour, Satan’s spit”
“God kicks with both feet and keeps his shoes clean”

And of course
“christ, sin it’s all that you know”
“hey satan - you rock!”

These ones just off the top of my head. Any more lyrics with such references?

When they released “St. Anger”… oh wait, that wasn’t Therapy?

And by “Lighthouse” I mean “Lifehouse”.

I guess it’s going to be the new “Smile” or “Lighthouse”. The masterpiece that never was.

Nah, I don’t have an article or anything.

I see. Cool. And the 3 songs were all by T?

What I meant was, could you give a list or write about the music IN THE MAGAZINE?

I know I’m in the minority here, but that’s rather bad news to me. I love “If It Kills Me”, but I usually prefer the bands’ poppier songs or let’s say the songs that are catchy but have a mean, noisy and/or heavy twist to them. In other words: something along the lines of “Troublegum” to “Semi-Detached” material. Something as daring as SPYF would be cool, too. Or something that can’t be compared to anything they have done before, but “Innocent X” and “Teethgrinder” are just two of the least interesting songs the band has ever recorded, IMO (and as I’ve said, yes, I know most WOMbles will disagree with that).

Andy Cairns; yes, that was me in the recent AU Magazine. :D

So what is on your iPod? Could you just give a list or also write about the music a little?

FUUUUUCCKKKK!!! How could I have missed the opportunity to send them a question? I guess the new message board design completely took away my attention from everything else. ;-)
So will there be another Q&A-thingy sometime?

Troublegum, Semi-Detached and Infernal Love (to a lesser degree) were instantly addictive.

With SPYF it took me a long time to accept that this was no “Semi-Detached Part 2”, but I love the album now. And I also didn’t realize that NANE was a much better album than I had thought at first.

I just read about this completely random collection of video clips, which also includes a song by Therapy? Check out the other bands that are on there: L.A Guns, Vain, Mötley Crüe, Extreme, Cinderella, Kingdom Come, Magnum and Status Quo. What the fuck?

1. Semi-Detatched
2. Troublegum
3. Infernal Love
4. S.P.Y.F
5. N.A.N.E.
6. High Anxiety
7. O.C.F.A
8. Shameless
9. Nurse
10. Babyteeth
11. Pleasure Death

yep,still it would have been fun if LTF, RU and RYM (did I forget some promoclip:eek:))

RYM, what’s that again?

Anyway, the videos to “Gimme Back My Brain” and “Bad Karma Follows You Around” haven’t been released, yet.

Why isn’t “Gimme Therapy” on this compilation?

The intro riff always reminds me of Angry Chair by AIC.

And if I may be so bold, the best song is still Just Another Victim (Helmet/House of Pain).

True. And true (although Slayer & Ice-T’s The Exploited-medley is pretty neat!)

Really??? I can’t even remember that.

Another band with a ginger frontman? Andy isn’t ginger.

Still hoping for that poster who tells me what Andy said about the Wildhearts!

What did he say about the Wildhearts?? PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

It definitely have its advantages to bring in another guitarist, if only for proper backing vocals and the second guitar some songs NEED. And although Andy handles all his guitar work in the studio well (just listen to “Troublegum” or “NANE”), a second opinion can never harm.

So: four piece it is for me.

Must… forget… first… time… I met Therapy?… and made… complete… arse… of myself!

Wow, that must have been so cool to see Therapy? play to such a huge crowd. Then again, I love small packed venues much more.

But Lars Ulrich hated Mötley Crüe.

ah, okay, thanks. good to know.

As I’ve said, it’s cool that most of the fans seem to like it as Therapy? have probably done it for the fans in the first place.
