Androol · 05.08.2007, 05:14 AM

and the double image what the hell is up with that. doesnt really seem to accomplish anything aesthetically

king_buzzo · 05.08.2007, 05:15 AM

Yeah. The back is annoying as well. Theyre all randomly written.

Androol · 05.08.2007, 05:22 AM

oh huh i never noticed that ill have to check it out but i dont own it anymore i burned everything and sold it years ago

king_buzzo · 05.08.2007, 05:26 AM

Yeah on the reissue, theres bonus songs which are kinda too much for the tracklisting.

Androol · 05.08.2007, 05:31 AM

i was so disappointed in the reissue! i just deleted them after one listen

king_buzzo · 05.08.2007, 05:32 AM

It's okay. The ep is all that matters. I didn't even listen to the bonus tracks.

Androol · 05.08.2007, 05:35 AM

maybe thers one or wo songs worth saving but everything else is just basically earlier versions of songs. too similar to be all that interesting.

king_buzzo · 05.08.2007, 05:36 AM

The Good & The Bad own though.

Androol · 05.08.2007, 05:54 AM

the earlier version of that is track ten Loud And Soft

SYRFox · 05.08.2007, 06:09 AM

Yes and it's fucking great, maybe my favorite song of the EP except for I Dreamed I Dream

It's no doubt an Andy Warhol/Velvet Underground reference. The silver background on the original American version suggests Warhol's silver-clad Factory, and the double image suggests the repeating images in his pop art.

Androol · 05.08.2007, 10:59 PM

hey thats pretty good. now i feel kinda dumb saying it didnt accomplish anything aesthetically.

Yeah, I got it now. It seems so.

I would like to restate how awesome Bad Moon Rising's cover is.

king_buzzo · 05.09.2007, 02:14 AM

Yeah BMR is pretty awesome. I used to not like it, but its amazing.

yeah same, I used to hate it for some reason, but dont anymore.

king_buzzo · 05.09.2007, 01:28 PM

I didnt like the sunshine/green colour. But its amazing now.

jetengine · 05.10.2007, 10:58 PM

I love that Halloween theme that runs through so many of their record covers: Bad Moon Rising, Walls Have Ears, the various versions of Halloween and Halloween II, the Bad Mood bootleg, possibly even A Thousand Leaves, if the theory about it being influenced by that old Foster horror flick is correct.

I'd love to see Bad Moon reissued as a double LP, by the way.

CHOUT · 05.10.2007, 11:40 PM

Rather Ripped
A Thousand Leaves
Washing Machine
are my least faves.

Washing Machine is disgraceful
