"Red Hands" sounds like an osamu sato (He's the guy that made LSD dream emulator) song for some reason- ToT I LOVE IT SM.

Tyree sent me here.

It's great that they're now releasing the files as live recordings, they are great. I've now known them for 8 years and still listen to them a few times a week. I don't think I'll ever get bored of these. And I was so happy that they came to Germany last year and I could see them live.

I have the video for this, it was available on YT for some time before getting removed. Marvelous !

Far superior to the album ! Excellent !

CRIMINALLY underrated… where’s all the views!?

I love how crisp Red Hands sounds on this collection.

I especially love how this version of Pimp and the Priest uses the She's So Heavy guitar that they do sometimes in live shows.

THABK YOU SO FVCKING MUCH 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Oh my gosh thank you so so much! Now i just need act 2 to know if i should get the vinyl ❤

thank you as always <3 need these for studying

this song is so delicious. my jaw DROPPED and hung open the entire song. thank you for posting this

the original is the hero unknowingly becoming the villain, this is purely villainous and i love it sm

this goes crazyyy what the heck

I know Casey is embarrassed by these demos but I love them

B. Linus needs to make it's way onto a tour

The album is the philosophical view on life on if we should look back on our decisions and longing to change things, but we have to accept all things that happen, good and the bad, that all things are as they should be. Sometimes you get it right, sometimes you won’t. Example we’re born and we will die, we can’t change even though we know well in advance of what to expect.

We must keep the chain going! Merry Christmas from 2023!

Love this song

#69, after 13 years, nice ~

been years since I heard this and still it's beautiful

This is a weird take … but this is my favorite Casey’s work ? Like I can see Antimai’s sound developing from this, but this just sound much more unstructured and unpredictable. Reminds me of Act I, more prog but less rock elements.

I could listen to this song all day honestly it’s one of my favorite songs, I don’t usually like songs like this but it’s just I absolutely love the instrumental part, the singing, the lyrics, everything. It’s just an amazing song and I’m so glad I found this hidden gem 👏

does anyone have the lyrics for this?

Thank you so much for posting this! :) Shared with a friend, we had a wonderful time together. <3

I lost my place in the world It left me behind Now my soul is unbound And my mind is free to roam around around around around around around around around around around Thoughts drip down to words on a page All scrawled in a foreign tongue Circles tending toward the center Lead you back to none You can cry, you can beg, you can plead, you can pray You may doubt it, apathetic But you never had control You saw what you wanted But the rest was terrible Pull back the curtain And reveal the guilty So the veil can been lifted And the well will overflow You've been here before You've seen it all But your conscience won't recall And your eyes are barely wide enough To recognize what your heart keeps giving up And someday it might win If your mind's giving in Just try to lose yourself Or do your best 'til then

Oh my god I love these songs. I am also fan now ;)

Man I feel like I never understood the story all that much. It would be so cool if there was like a movie or something with it to help me understand what's happening in a more cohesive way. If someone could tell me like a timeline that would be so helpful. I think I get that they escaped the dime and the city cause the kid killed a man for his mom? and she seems to die in the river, but then it says WE got away and I'm confused. Also, who dafuq is this priest? And I don't understand the knife song at all, what does the knife mean and why does he keep getting in trouble for it? The Pimp and the Priest always gave me the impression that the Dime and the Church were in cahoots, but now I wonder if it's just drawing a parallel between them. Might ask more questions, but I have late assignments. :/

This reminds me of Varian, and kind of sounds like him too

I’ve been looking for the original!!! Going to see if you have the original red hands too ..

I wish I had heard of these guys sooner. I've bought this album, but the earlier ones are next to impossible to find on CD for a reasonable price.

what is the lyrics of this song?

Merry Christmas from 2022!

Gracias !!!!!

Satisfaction reminds me so much of something but I can’t put my finger on it, like it’s on the tip of my tongue… but I guess I can never be satisfied

When are you gonna come down? When are you going to land? I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man You know you can't hold me forever I didn't sign up with you I'm not a present for your friends to open This boy's too young to be singing the blues Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny-back toad Oh, I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah What do you think you'll do, then? I bet they'll shoot down the plane It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again Maybe you'll get a replacement There's plenty like me to be found Mongrels who ain't got a penny Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny-back toad Oh, I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah

gloria makes me want to fall in love, I absoluletly adore this song

this is effortlessly beautiful

it's a shame the only files of the cover of this demo are really bad quality, like deepfried jpeg quality. i'm thankful for whatever we got, though

Mr malum is sigma

I'm pretty high, and this makes so much more sense now. Like I always really liked this album, but now it's clicking.

Neat sound It took time for this to grow on me but it has been, especially after Antimai

how in the fuck was this album released 11 years ago

It's so cool how TDH changes from the smoothness of a clarinet to the more "aggressive" sound of a saxophone it makes such a clear yet subtle build to the song!!

LYRICS: Calm down, you won't gain any ground if you're shaking from head to toe And if you'd wake up you'd be weary to lie 'cause discerning eyes will know Your words carry the weight of the world And they're waiting for that shoe to drop So you sit down, you give in, and they get up, and they yelled Someone's got blood on their hands With a stone cold glare and a crooked grin You know exactly what we're saying when we say Someone's got blood on their hands "Forget about truth and consequence We've got a way to deal with this." And if you're good maybe they'll be light on you Long as you dance just like they want you to Just shelter that look in your eyes And think about staying alive Sit down, give in, when they get up, and they yell Someone's got blood on their hands With a stone cold glare and a crooked grin You know exactly what we're saying when we say Someone's got blood on their hands "Forget about truth and consequence We've got a way to deal with this." Someone's got blood on their hands With a stone cold glare and a crooked grin You know exactly what we're saying when we say Someone's got blood on their hands "Forget about truth and consequence We've got a way to deal with this."
