>>20 minutes, it's that relentless. They lived up to
>>their promise that the album is "up," more hopeful,

>>world-awareness and darkness. Some of the lyrics are
>>awkward but well-intentioned, some are awkward and
>>bad, and some are right on. "Gratitude" is a mix of
>>all of the above.

>>Tribal Antidote -- It is kind of a sequel to Absent
>>Friends, but it's much better! I love the Democracy
>>LP, but I can never get through Absent Friends. The
>>dee-dee-do-do keyboard in Tribal is funny, reminds
>>me
>>of New Wave songs. A nice song, this, esp. in the
>>context of the whole album.
>>
>>Hosannas... -- EDVRE keyboard, though less smoothly
>>used. Raven's lurking shark bass. Ominous keys. Good
>>Geordie rhythm and singing chords. Some nice words
>>but
>>also some weird ones, e.g. something "down the
>>stairs.
>>A killing joke waits for me there" and something
>>about
>>"sticks and stones" (but not "break my bones" lol)
>>
>>Invocation -- the eastern one. Not my favorite but a
>>nice effort. Jaz doing his orchestral thing. Some
>>light background tribal percussion happening. One of
>>the slower songs, ala Communion or Zeppelin's
>>Kashmir.
>>
>>Implosion -- urgency. Much said about this one
>>already, but it fits nicely within the album.
>>
>>Majestic -- EDVRE-like because the chord progression
>>is "Extremities" part II. It's nice. There's Jaz
>>laughing. and Jaz "Zennon"-singing. A great combo of
>>many of the band's remaining strengths. The bass
>>really grooves, while Geordie really travels the
>>landscape beautifully. Going in and out of valleys.
>>
>>Walking with Gods -- Chug-chug put to good use.
>>Keyboard is repepitive and doom-ambient. Almost
>>Night
>>Time-like keyboards. The chorus guitar and lyrics
>>are
>>positively victorious, very up. I love the sentiment
>>of this song, and the music complements that
>>sentiment. Some really fun lyrics about mortality,
>>living in the moment, walking with the occasional
>>God.
>>
>>Lightbringer -- Theme: "The rebellious spirit in you
>>and me." This is a running song. Some
>>tension-building
>>ambient chords. Think of the bass tones of "Implant"
>>transformed into a throbbing sprint. Geordie's loop
>>of
>>chords bounces really nicely. The lyrics address
>>lies
>>our fathers taught us, but Jaz's rhythm doesn't
>>quite
>>go with the song (intermittent shouts of
>>"Lies...more
>>lies" as he talks about the virgin Mary impregnated
>>by
>>a ghost/god(?)
>>
>>Judas Goat -- Spaceship keys to start, followed by
>>EDVRE-like keys. Loop of chug guitar mixed with a
>>few
>>ascending notes on top. Jaz sings again, but the
>>words
>>aren't immediately apparent to me. Not my favorite,
>>this, but I think some fans will like it quite a
>>bit.
>>
>>Gratitude -- Aforementioned awkward ("you look at me
>>and I look at you / only need a mirror" schtick) but
>>heartfelt lyrics. Almost sounds like the band's
>>farewell, like Jaz is saying maybe he'll be dead
>>before he Jokes again. "Let me tell you about the
>>hearts of my people / The core meaning of the tribe
>>/
>>A dream unspoken, a promise kept / The secret comes
>>alive / For all the years I've watched your back and
>>you've watched mine / We always knew our paths would
>>cross, and the golden dawn shine ... Remember me
>>with
>>a smile, a drink, a gesture(jester?) or a laugh.
>>Gratituuuuuuuude." Starts with slightly broader
>>chug,
>>but there's some Democracy chimes during the chorus.
>>The keys are very, VERY EDVRE-ish. 
>>
>>Whew! I like it. Now back to more listens which will
>>inevitably contradict what I just uttered... Thanks
>>to
>>everyone who worked to share these.
