ProfGlitch, element 11 is sodium, the natural form of which isn't radioactive. Nice try though. |

| Clutch – The Soapmakers Lyrics

The riff on this song is fucking wicked. It's actually what originally got me into Clutch.
I actually hear more Three Musketeers than Fight Club in here - "All for One, and One for All" |

I really like the blues tilt Clutch has taken recently. Electric Worry, Gravel Road, and Who's Been Talking, while not my favorite songs by them, definitely show their versatility as artists, as well as giving insight into their influences. |

I just caught the show in Philly last night, and it was absolutely insane. When Neil screamed the opening lines, the house lights flashed on, and the crowd of people moshing on the floor actually looked like a bunch of maggots attacking a rotting piece of meat. Really cool effect. |

I think it's pretty awesome that the Deftones were able to rock out with Serj from SOAD to create such a badass song. |

| Deftones – Pink Cellphone Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
This song is pretty fucked up. It seems like a massive stream-of-consciousness flow that illustrates the central theme of the song: "Pursuing the wrong ideals and goals...leads you into sickness." By trying to believe in "the one true power" instead of focusing on bettering oneself, the mind rebels and collapses into an egotistic Freudian chaos.
I gotta be honest though, I have absolutely no idea what any of this has to do with cell phones. |

| Black Stone Cherry – Rollin' On Lyrics

It's neat how they compare being on the road, constantly "Rollin' On" to being a prisoner with the Merle Haggard reference. I think it's pretty cool how Black Stone Cherry is able to incorporate their classic rock and country influences into a modern hard rock style. They definitely show a lot of maturity in their music. |

| Soundgarden – Fell on Black Days Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
While the depression explanation makes sense, I get the impression that the narrator of the song has fallen into a drug addiction, probably heroin.
"Whomsoever I've cured I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled I've put you down"
I get the sense that he's talking from both a first- and third-person perspective here. He tried "curing" himself, a la Mister Brownstone, and the short-term cure turned into a long-term problem, with no way out.
"Hands are for shaking, not tying" is possibly a reference to tying the tourniquet around one's upper arm when shooting up heroin. |

| G. Love and Special Sauce – I-76 Lyrics
| 19 years ago
|
This song reminds me of midnight (and often drunken) drives from the 'burbs to Pat's for the best 'steaks in town, playing this song at full volume while flying along the roads it mentions.
"Destined to escape a la Spector" - what a great line. |

| Ed Wagner – Van Lyrics

Man, I remember when we dubbed the Bangbus (aka my mom's Nissan Quest) "The Van II" in deference to the van that this song is talking about. What a crazy hunk of metal. "Road-trippin' everywhere" is pretty much straight on. |

"I grew up, went into rehab" - what an amazing line. It reminds me of former friends who "graduated" from pot to hard[er] drugs. |

Just a side note, the version on Facelift features Ann Wilson (from Heart) on backup vocals during the chorus. She also did the backing vocals when AIC (sans Layne, of course) performed this at the 2005 Tsunami Relief concert. |

| Yes – I've Seen All Good People: Your Move/All Good People Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
It seems to make a lot of sense that this is an anti-war song. Chess is supposed to represent medieval war (with the goal to capture and kill the enemy's king), and so the chess-war metaphor holds a lot of weight. On that note, it seems to be written from the perspective of a soldier on the battlefield ("Move me on to any black square/ Use me any time you want") who is opposed to the war ("Don't surround yourself with yourself" - listen to dissidents and protesters, not just your advisors, and "Move on back two squares" - start pulling troops out). Just a thought. |

The guitar background/solo are pretty sweet. From a musical perspective, it's rather technically solid. Sorry to rain on your parade, edward. |
