Maybe the version of the album i looked at was a special/limited edition re-release. It also had a cover of the song Easy (can't remember who originally did that)...
But i sort of understand what you're saying, most of their songs i've listened to have catchy tunes but if you listen to the lyrics it's a completely different story...
Twas Lionel Ritchie and the commodores.
That was standard release after 1993, I beleive..
They used to play it to piss off the metal fans who would demand their cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" night after night.
They'dplayed it for years, before committing it to record.
(Probably why it sounded so good as a straight cover)
Its just their f***ed and very sharp sense of humour.
Mine was bought on the 1st day of release and didnt have Easy.
The japanese version had a reworked "As the worm turns" (The original of which was on an earlier FNM album with Chuck Mosely singing. (The guy who originally sang "We Care a lot"😉
Absolutely.
Theyve always done that. "Edge of the world" on "The Real Thing", sound slike a lunge jazz/bules crooning number and sounds melodic and pretty, but the character portrayed int he lyrics its essentially a child molestor praying on victims.
WAY f**ked up.
Doubley f**ked up via its juxaposition.
