Great album. I had long forgotten about these guys until this album came along. Easily their best and very well written. JR's vocal performance really stands out with much more nuance and thoughtfulness than I ever remember from their earlier stuff. Especially on "Strangely at Home", this track and "Break the Spell".
2008 had some of the greatest albums from the last 10-15 years.....7 Mary 3 - Day and Night Driving and Candlebox - Into the Sun are two of the most underrated albums of all time.....although I say that and I actually liked the Dislocation album better, but nothing on that album touches Hammer and a Stone.
Right on point. Those are both just classic. How they are not heard by so many more is beyond me. If you like those two you may also really like an acoustic ep by a band called Dive. I think its right on par with these two.
really? let this one sink in a little bit more. Its a great album and I've gone from one song to the next as my favorite. Lot of good stuff on this album.
Palestine, a land virtually laid waste with little population For many centuries, Palestine was a sparsely populated, poorly cultivated and widely-neglected expanse of eroded hills, sandy deserts and malarial marshes. Mark Twain, who visited Palestine in 1867, described it as: "...[a] desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds-a silent mournful expanse....A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action....We never saw a human being on the whole route....There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of the worthless soil, had almost deserted the country." As late as 1880, the American consul in Jerusalem reported the area was continuing its historic decline. "The population and wealth of Palestine has not increased during the last forty years," he said. Surprisingly, many people who were not sympathetic to the Zionist cause believed the Jews would improve the condition of Palestinian Arabs. For example, Dawood Barakat, editor of the Egyptian paper Al-Ahram, wrote: "It is absolutely necessary that an entente be made between the Zionists and Arabs, because the war of words can only do evil. The Zionists are necessary for the country: The money which they will bring, their knowledge and intelligence, and the industriousness which characterizes them will contribute without doubt to the regeneration of the country." Even a leading Arab nationalist believed the return of the Jews to their homeland would help resuscitate the country. According to Sherif Hussein, the guardian of the Islamic Holy Places in Arabia: As Hussein foresaw, the regeneration of Palestine, and the growth of its population, came only after Jews returned in massive numbers. The Jewish population increased by 470,000 between World War I and World War II while the non-Jewish population rose by 588,000. In fact, the permanent Arab population increased 120 percent between 1922 and 1947. This rapid growth was a result of several factors. One was immigration from neighboring states - constituting 37 percent of the total immigration to pre-state Israel - by Arabs who wanted to take advantage of the higher standard of living the Jews had made possible. The Arab population also grew because of the improved living conditions created by the Jews as they drained malarial swamps and brought improved sanitation and health care to the region. Thus, for example, the Muslim infant mortality rate fell from 201 per thousand in 1925 to 94 per thousand in 1945 and life expectancy rose from 37 years in 1926 to 49 in 1943.

"Do you remember me? All the curious in you, all the emptiness in me."
Scott.. You're 1 lucky S.O.B to be able to film 7M3. If you would sometime let them know their impact on my life was phenomenal. Seriously.
And thanks if you do.
