I know there is another thread, but I think it's in the wrong section, which is why no one seems to notice it.

I posted this in two seperate posts in the other thread.



"Has anyone else picked up their new release, Horses in the Sky?



Currently, I think the best track is the first, God Bless Our Dead Marines.


It's a suite, which is made up of six movements.


They changed the name of the band again. It's now, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and tra-la-la Band.


Edit: My sister hearing this for the first time, pointed out something that I had not noticed. The second track, Mountains Made of Steam, uses the theme of My Favorite Things for a majority of the song."




I have listened to it a couple more times since those two posts.


I can't figure out why the 4th track is called "Teddy Roosevelt's Guns", since it is an anti-Canadian song. It's not until the ending chorus, which repeats "Teddy Roosevelt's Guns" several times does those lyrics even get mentioned.

Back to the song, God Bless our Dead Marines. As best I can make out the first lyrics he is singing, “The Plane shows in the Electric Chair, the Electric Chair, the Electric Chair� several times. Does anyone have any idea, what this is that supposed to mean?

We are also both sure that they are quoting some Middle Eastern song in it, but can't place the song.

I looped the opening and listening with my headphones and it sounds like either, "They play angels in the electric chair, the electric chair, the electric chair." or "They put angels in the electric chair, the electric chair, the electric chair."

It's quite the release, I like it a lot, but nothing will ever touch their first major release 'He Has Left us Alone..."

the second one is also very good...

will have to wait a bit before I can get this one though

Ever covers too much unknown, to agree with you.


Are Equinox and I, the only two who have heard this record?

Equinox, do you want to take a stab on what you think the lyrics are on the first track, and what the hell TR’s Guns has to do with anything in track 4?

I have "He Has Left Us..." and "This Is Our Punk Rock...", but haven't picked this particular one up yet. I'll add it to the "Big List" and get back to you in the future.

I have their three previous releases (except for that Lightning Paw or how is it called ep), but I'm not really close to record shops right now, so it'll have to wait til June or later

I need to go back and listen to it again, it's been ages. I'll let ya know if I find out

We would appreciate that, but I have a feeling for the TR’s Guns, we are going to end up having to wait to ask the walking Encyclopedia.

that's how you call your father?
