Random things I love off of You're Living All Over Me:
- The opening drum and wah/phaser riff at the start of Little Furry Things, clearly one of the best openers ever on record.
- Later in LFT, after the bridge bit, where Lee and J start up the vocals again, J turns on all of his pedals, and it's just him singing softly against a backdrop of noise and static. Otherwordly.
- The whammy bar riff at around 30 seconds in The Lung.
- The breakdown in Kracked, which leads to that awesome bridge ("I plead the case, I need the space, don't let it wait").
- Lou's frantic yelling about suicide in Lose. The final verse gives me chills every time. ("Some times thinking right I can't believe I was chosen to exist, because they say that only Jesus Christ himself can slit his wrists, he says, and so I kill this need to always understand, cut the world until it fits on the back of your hand")
- The chorus of Raisans. So emotional and heartfelt, feels like the CD is about to explode when the solo comes in. Brings the song to a whole different level.
- The overdriven bass all over the record. LOVE that sound!
- The non-stop riffing and breaks of Sludgefeast. Just as it keeps getting heavier and heavier, it finally goes to the verse, which takes a complete overhaul as J sings softly over a bright, non-heavy riff. A quiet little lead comes after that, before J unleashes a fucking crazy solo.
- The into to Tarpit, and then when it breaks into that awesome verse about feeling trapped. The chorus always gets me, J sounds so honest when he sings.
- Where J again turns on every possible distortion pedal he has for the last verse of Tarpit
Perfect record. Favorite record of the 80s, easily.
