    The most underrated band of all time. Matt Johnson is criminally underappreciated.

      Ahhh the now fading "underrated" trope. Code for "I like a thing but don't understand that other people like other things more than I like this thing". Point being, do you really think this was gonna smash the charts and sell millions. All things are "rated" by those who rate them. And we all rate different things. Such diversity of taste is the human animal's greatest asset.

      @@Will__Wonks very well said. I knew this style of music would never sell millions, but I always felt his lyrics, musicality, and his perspective of world politics would be more highly regarded. Matt is very intelligent, and it shines through in his music. I think the majority just don't understand.

      Ann Arbor, 1984, I was writing a paper on Seize the Day, listening to this album and heard this line; referenced it to illustrate the plight of the main character. Ahh the good ole days. Not sleeping, smoking cigarettes, trying to be existential.

    This is my favorite type of concert recording. Once the song begins, completely Fade Out the audience. That way you focus purely on the music, the vocals, the playing and the sound design

    The sun is high and I'm surrounded by sand
    For as far as my eyes can see
    I'm strapped into a rocking chair
    With a blanket all over my knees
    I am a stranger to myself
    And nobody knows I'm here
    When I looked into my face
    It wasn't myself I'd seen
    But who I've tried to be
    I'm thinking of things I'd hoped to forget
    I'm choking to death in a sun that never sets
    I clogged up my mind with perpetual greed
    And turned all of my friends into enemies
    And now the past has returned to haunt me
    I'm scared of God and scared of hell
    And I'm caving in upon myself
    I'm scared of God and scared of hell
    And I'm caving in upon myself
    How could anyone know me
    When I don't even know myself?
    How could anyone know me
    When I don't even know myself?
    How could anyone know me
    When I don't even know myself?
    How could anyone know me
    When I don't even know myself?
