the pariah, the parrot, the delusion

fair enough.
only cause i only listened to it 1 time all the way through
it is possible it is just me
but i just didn't feel it

maybe i was harsh, I like some of the songs, but
'quotes' frustrates me

'these drugs will expand us'

feel like this is where we divide

nope, after listening a few more times. I still do not like it. Cheap Dance music, with a beautiful voice. Its not 'awful", is just I find myself moving my head and snapping my fingers like I am at the Roxbury. It isn't bad..it just ins't what I consider progressive. Except for a few songs their lyrics are cheesy and is poison to anyone with a soul. 'take a look a around' IS beautiful. They DO have some bad ass tunes in parts, and I love their drummer. And I love some of the background noise. However, their overall message is a big let down. Not just because of what they talk about, but their perspective is not something I can accept. The song "cartoon showroom" gives me hope. But, the song "quotes" sounds like a knock off Blink 182 song with cheesy ass lyrics(not to mention the seemingly "pro-drug" line. I feel sorry for anyone who things this a good song. They are too popular in my opinion to be throwing out possible pro-drug messages(doesn't matter if it is a metaphor). Fine, be who you want, but I will not stand by them when their CD is being picked up at Target by people around my age. Drugs are obviously not meant for everyone. It is something I myself debate over. I just think it is something that people need to take critically, and in my experience.. most people don't or understand the 'actual' use or are currently in a position to make such a decision(like myself) It is like weed and Bob Marley. Smoking weed was apart of his religion...I'm not a huge Marley fan so I could be wrong, but I don't know a song that is literally 'pro-weed/drugs'. Still, today people take Bob as some mythological figure like che Guevara, without taking time to realize what these people stood for or thier values. Instead they just smoke weed like a fucking hobby to the point of stonerism because they have fallen into the illusion that it is good for the spirit. IS THIS THE AWKENING YOU HAVE IN MIND? Same concept applies to stronger drugs. And the way our media pushes drugs this song certainly does not help..especially since it is so ambigious and gives no attempt to promote even 'recreational use with religious intent) So, people only fall into depths of the human spirit, instead of reaching any apex of realization about anything(whether it is god, nature, etc.) Taken collectively, this is in my mind.. is a disaster.

Dredg will still be in my all time top 5 bands. It is possible their experiences has given them something I am unaware, then for now I am contempt with this possible ignorance. Upon any future possible realization that they were right, then will forever be sorry.

read again.. i have a bad habit of editing my posts.

if i am wrong.. explain

i want to see someone elses persepective
maybe i am wrong

shocking i know.. but it sounds like something came from that type of rock. Maybe it is too harsh.. after all, it is dredg. So maybe not Blink 182, but I lack a more accurate comparison. But that was all I could think about during the 'hook' of the song
