Jirachi Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Most sites say "Im gonna take it to the mausoleum where I go And we'll be screaming Kill your friends! And we better get it We'll be screaming Kill your friends! And we'll show up missing" But it sounds like "Im gonna take it to the mausoleum Where we'll be screaming Kill your friends! And we better get it We'll be screaming Kill your friends! And we'll show up missing"" Saw someone ask about it earlier so >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Joes Eyelids Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 11 hours ago, AlissaGoesRAWR said: I've learned to get over Billie's grammar issues ever since I realized he can't spell his own setlists ("Hitchen" a Ride) and says "and I could really care less" in Jesus of Suburbia. I'll let him slide since he's cute. The last one I noticed is when he told that guy on Instagram that his parents “should have chose” birth control. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not necessarily as I still believe the songs about his various addictions or alcoholism though it would make it more vague as it could also be about touring life and any other mistakes he's made with his marriage. We really need a lyric booklet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jollyroger118 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I just sat and listened to the whole album and read the lyrics on genius (some of which are blatantly wrong) but there's honestly some great lines in there and I really appreciate the whole project more after doing that. Some of them are the best and deepest he's written in years IMO like "I can self destruct on any given note, my ruin is my story line". That's an awesome line and I didn't even really like that song before. There was a lot that I feel I heard for the first time tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think the line "thanks for the company but I'm still standing alone" (potential all time top-something for me personally) sums up what you're saying about not fitting in - although I initially read it as a "there are nice things/people but in the end we're all forever alone" type of thing (I mean, #relatable af amirite). Aargh Billie you make my head hurt but I love you. I think it’s has multi meanings (typical Billie Joe) but I also think there’s a realisation as you get older that you become more aware that no matter what family, friends etc you have, you are just you and at the of the day you are on your own. Hate to bring up the rehab thing but it’s the best example I have, no matter how much support you have, it’s up to you to do it for you. 2 hours ago, Jollyroger118 said: I just sat and listened to the whole album and read the lyrics on genius (some of which are blatantly wrong) but there's honestly some great lines in there and I really appreciate the whole project more after doing that.

That Dude Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 The Longshot do not have an official website, correct? Just instagram and Facebook? I guess that's the norm these days, websites are for old fogies, right? Well, that got my old fogie thinking.....The Tubbies and The Network both had official sites....could something possibly be happening on their sites.......... The Tubbies is up and running but it's still just a bunch of women in dresses shaking their money makers. But what happened to the Network website? I can't find in anywhere!

The Network one seemed to have disappeared years ago but you could still get to it if you directly typed in the address or something. Don't know if that still works or if it's fully gone now. I have seen screenshots of the whole thing around, don't have them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacejunkie punk Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Here’s the Kerrang review. I hate it, it thinks Body Bag is one of the more uptempo songs and Kill Your Friends has no political subtext. Seriously I don’t think they listened to the album at all.

Maybe it’s just my interpretation but to me it reads like a reaction to all of our mass shootings. I posted about it earlier above with a clip but it reminds me of the song Fixing to Die Rag about Vietnam — a very throw up your hands, fatalistic and sarcastic yippee we’re all gonna die response.

It doesn't, but I don't see much in it that specifically points to the subject of mass shootings either. Not to say it can't be interpreted that way though.

You articulated more or less what I meant by "forever alone" in an adult way, thanks Actual listening aside, Kerrang need to redesign their rating system somehow - three times K does not look good, least of all along with Billie's album 4 minutes ago, kaylubd said: You know...I really wish Kerrang would change their rating system because in a review like that it gets awkward....

pouty bitch Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 It's hard to believe that last month we basically had no idea what the Longshot was, and now there's so much going on. I mean, the album has been out less than a week, and I feel like I've been listening to it for years already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
