I do not have enough time to mentally prepare for this! It's too soon!

So fucking stoked.

abracadaver (July 3, 2009)

Maybe the lyrics will make sense this time. Unless Jimmy's fingers are still stuck in those fixtures, whatever the fuck that means.

Taken in context with the line "in the background of the pictures" and the fact that he's talking about family life and probably referring to lighting fixtures, I take it to mean that he didn't really completely feel like he was kind of outside the rest of the family, always off doing his own thing and getting into trouble.... the goofy, removed kid sticking his fingers where they're not supposed to be.

If it wasn't you that harped on that one fucking line before, I know someone else here did. If you'd rather believe he's just randomly making up words (and I hope you'd give Cedric Bixler the same amount of shit Jimmy has gotten here in the past few weeks) to fit the lines, more power to you. I have no problem with the man's lyrics, and find most of them pretty identifiable. I'm sorry they detract so much from your enjoyment.

mikexdude (July 3, 2009)

This. So much.

mikexdude (July 3, 2009)

Also, I don't know why his lyrics are anywhere compared to Cedric's; if you read the lyrics... they're not that hard to understand at all...

Icapped2pac (July 3, 2009)

I don't know that anyone else ever has compared them to Bixler's, I just thought off the top of my head of someone who typifies random, nonsensical lyrics.

mikexdude (July 3, 2009)

Really? the last few times this whole lyrics thing came up, someone mentions cedric.

Icapped2pac (July 3, 2009)

Huh. You could be right. I don't recall it personally though.

mikexdude (July 3, 2009)

Either way, baldsteve is wrong, this guy's lyrics are nothing like cedric and not that hard to understand.

14theroad (July 3, 2009)

I've had someone say this to me about The Lawrence Arms. That their lyrics are a bunch of made up stuff that doesn't make sense.

You're confusing that with the "easily butthurt/emotionally retarded" market.

pufferfish (July 3, 2009)

Care to explain?

abracadaver (July 3, 2009)

No mention of NMB on the org is complete without MattRamone trying to shit on them and miserably failing.

why would he be mad?
as long as you arent talking shit i dont see the problem with not liking something.

nowah (July 3, 2009)

he posted a status update about hanging out with them, and i jokingly replied "x8thgradex" to it and he went on an OH SO YOU'RE A HATER NOW I SEE, WHAT HAVE YOU EVER DONE WITH YOUR LIFE THAT YOU CAN TALK SHIT ON ANTI-FLAG rant. which he did any chance he got about every band someone else didn't like when we both lived on oahu.

thatsyouth (July 3, 2009)

Fuck that band. I saw them in SA and they were all wearing their bands clothing. So cheesy. They all stood up and screamed "Fight! Fuck! Dance! Destroy!" The drummer even stood up on his little stool. So terrible. Just like Anti-Flag is now.

thatsall

High five.

Icapped2pac (July 3, 2009)

I hope there's a digital download available for this, because I still don't have my record player. That still didn't stop me from ordering the triple-vinyl version of the new Constants though, simply because it looks so fucking awesome. One day the needle will touch the groove again in my house.

Deadpan (July 3, 2009)

Yeah, this is going to rule. This and the new Broadway Calls are going to be the top 2 albums of the summer, for sure.

no! we're all too cool for that

trevor905 (July 3, 2009)

i really like there cover art style. also i really like how they are releasing a 7inch with tracks on the album (/new track.) rather then just dropping songs on myspace.

That artwork looks awesome!
