I'll never forget the first time i heard this incredible riff. Ripped out of my skull and I was hooked instantly. I've listened to this entire album endlessly since. Just bona fide classic.
I remember skipping school in the morning so I could get the album, on the day of release. was a beautiful, sunny day. As I was walking back to school, I hurriedly popped the tape into my walkman and started Meatplow & I'll always remember that moment I heard the chords.
Lyrics
Fine place for a day
Full of breakdowns
Takes more than a
Meltdown to show us how
Throw a tack on the road,
Stop the meatplow
Got a bullet but it ain't mine
They got these pictures
Of everything
To break us down,
Yeah,
To break me down
They make us hate
And we make it bleed
But
I got a lover
And
Yeah
She shows me how
To understand it
Yeah
To understand
I got a brother
And
Well
He show me how
To make amends,
Yeah
To make amends with it
Take a break from the
Mousetrap we call home
Takes more than a message
To make me smile
I can feel when she
Kisses me sleeping
But not when the news is on
They got these pictures
Of everything
To break us down,
Yeah,
To break me down
They make us hate
And we make it bleed
But
I got a lover
And
Yeah
She shows me how
To understand it,
Yeah
To understand
I got a brother
And
Well
He show me how
To make amends,
Yeah
To make amends with it
They got these pictures
Of everything
To break us down,
Yeah,
To break us down
They make us hate
And we make it bleed
But
I got a lover
And
Yeah
She shows me how
To understand it
Yeah
To understand
I got a brother
And
Well
He show me how
To make amends,
Yeah
To make amends with it
Man I soooo miss Layne and Scott!! Rock Gods that didn’t realize what they meant to us and the jams they made will continue to KICK ASS till the end of time!!!
21 years old, my first apartment, first taste of freedom, new to weed, I would come home every day after work, plant myself in front of my boom box, get stoned and rock-out to this album, absorbing every layer and nuance. Magical time, a lot of great music being released but this album was somewhere at the top of this for me.
