Daryl Palumbo(Glassjaw), Geoff Rickly(Thursday), Christopher "Chree" Conger(former member of Number 12 looks like you), "Cooper"(Made Out Of Babies), an "unnamed" member of Lovekill, and Ben Koller(Converge)

I believe there is a member of Kiss It Goodbye in this also.
Chree is backed, not a fan of the other members or their main bands, not even a fan of the #12 either.
Chree rules though. great dude in music.

Good point. But on a side note and pertaining to your avatar, you liked the new Maps & Atlases? I thought it was a huge dissapointment and not even close to the debut release. I'd just be interested in hearing your reasoning for why you liked it.

Well not too many great albums came through in 2008, but that one just happened to be one of the better ones. But I agree, the older material is better (as cliche as it sounds)

But yet when others say oh anything Daryl touches is gold its ok. What is the difference with me stating that it is going to be a good record with the people involved then? Sorry but your logic is fucking stupid.

The logic "members of a band i like are in this band so it should be good" is fucking stupid. i called you out on it, and you used the fact that you supposedly like this on its musical merits alone, as reason to "prove me wrong", even though my point still stands.
the thing about your idiotic post is, when people hype Daryl, i laugh at them since nothing that dude has been in has been any good. the reason your logic is stupid is it would make a shitty band like Sparta be awesome just because at the drive in was awesome. Everyone knows that isn't true.
hell, for a Thursday related example: Their old guitar player's new bands suck.
If Isaac Brock was in a nu-metal band, I'd be stoked.

1. Pretty Lush
I draw them on reckless, etched in, scratched in like resurrection.
Your sins are killing you and you can bet they'll get me too.
I've got to give some to get some.
Mining in the river, standing in the rain.
Down on your knees as you heave at the drain.
You can lead a whore to water and you can bet she'll drink and follow
Orders.
And I said, "Is this what you wanted?"
"Is this what you needed?"
Give it some more time.
Tonight I'm going to a party, but its already started without me.
I aced philosophy and mastered the art of spiritual phrase.
I've got to give some to get some.
The disco ball spins away another year.
I wish you a broken heart and a happy new year.
Only three words come to mind ("True Till' Death")
2. Siberian Kiss
Give me back my pictures of me.
Me, you, and him that makes three.
It figures the wheezing will measure your rate of depress
And I hope that you know.
Like a bitch in heat I hope she know.
So put another penny in and turn the crank until the frames
Cease to move and the movie turns into a photo,
A photo the size of a kiss I hope she knows.
Staring at a Parisian sex flick where the characters don't meet,
The characters don't speak, and the characters are
Like mirrors facing mirrors:
Space always expanding.
So put another coin in and turn the crank until the frames
Cease to move and the movie turns into a photo,
A photo the size of my fist I hope she knows.
A hiccup in paradise
I keep you jealously to myself,
In a photo the size of a kiss,
A kiss in the shape of a bullet.
On phone lines and letterhead, I'm dying about.I'm dying about.
On phone lines and letterhead, I'm dying about. I'm dying about.
I've watched you whore yourself out for one more thing.
Why don't you sell yourself.
There's always one more thing.
Why don't you sell yourself.
If I can't have you know one will.
Pushing a lover to love another.
Are you turned on?
A hiccup in paradise
I keep you jealously to myself,
In a photo the size of a kiss,
A kiss in the shape of a bullet.
I keep you jealously to myself
3. When One Eight Becomes Two Zeros
I'm glad that you're near
And I'm sad when you're here
This is what it's like to be me
I'm glad that you're here
And I'm sad that you're near
This is what it's like to die alone.
This all hurts me so much
That I honestly believe
You're the one this is hard for
I've bartered tact for wit
And I've already made up
A billion stories about you.
Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up
I'm breaking up
I guess we're breaking up
You're not the other woman
You're just another(woman)
Another hobby for a guy like me.
You've given me a heart like a gun
And I'm so shocked that I made it through
These billion days.
I didn't think I could tough it out for those days
A billion.
Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up
I'm breaking up
I guess we're breaking up
You're not the other woman
You're just another(woman)
Another hobby for a guy like me.
So we're growing?
I'm sure
There's no other I can turn to
Theres no other I can turn to
If not you, heart
Who else can I believe???
Knee deep in static
I hear you breaking up
I'm breaking up
I guess we're breaking up
You're not the other woman
You're just another(woman)
Another hobby for a guy like me.
I hope you enjoy dying alone
4. Ry Ry's Song
There's a woman sitting in a motel room counting minutes
And she's adding to her list of "one hour loves"
She's tired and the new will do, she'll replace the body,
His friends are good for bang-bang
An amiable hobby
She's got a secret
Just keep it and sleep with it.
And he can't believe a thing you've said
"We're going nowhere" and "fair is fair"
And he can't believe a damn thing you say
"We're going nowhere" and "fair is fair"
The way you play with lives is such a big disguise we swear that
We're not gonna' take it
The way you play with lives is such a big disguise we swear
We're not running naked
There's a man who's sitting in a motel waiting for a hooker
That he never applied for, is it even her?
And he can't believe a damn thing you say
"We're going nowhere" and "fair is fair"
The way you play with lives is such a big disguise we swear that
We're not gonna take it, no more
The way you fucked his life is such a big disguise we swear
We're not running naked.
Just when it's perfect
It's finite, he calls it
She said "it's over, it's over..so long"
Just when it's perfect
It's finite, he calls it
She said "it's over, it's over. so long"
The way you play with lives is such a big disguise we swear
That, it's over, it's over, it's over
The way you fucked his life is such a big disguise we swear
We're not running naked.
He would stay forever just to say he saw you leave
And maybe things wouldn't be this way
He would stay forever just to say he saw you on your knees
I burn the lamp, when I burn, when
I do I do everything I do for you
But he hates you, hates you
And I guess it's nothing new for you
5. Lovebites And Razorlines
Who you fucking now
I use my slit wrist
To sign my name with
And when you can't compete with the joneses
Gun em all down (even the father)
You fucking whore
Shut up and swallow my pride for me
Move closer and drive further
Suck on the end of this dick that cums lead
But first I'm coming after you all
Its ladies night at the bar
And she smokes a mans cigar
I guess she's dying oh well
I don't give a fuck about your dignity
Thats the bastard in me
I know a girl
Who sells herself around
And I'm sure that one day
She'll sign autographs in your town
Its like
You filthy whore
Shut up and swallow my pride for me
Move closer and drive further
Suck on the end of this dick that cums lead
But first I'm coming after you all
Looking back into my diary
What makes me say those things?
What causes my laughter at another's disaster?
Its the bastard in me
You fucking whore
I know a girl
Who sells herself around
And I'm sure that one day she'll sign autographs in your town
I know a girl
Who sells herself around
And I'm sure that one day she'll sign autographs in your town
Who you fucking now you fucking live in shit
I strain myself I guess I guess
I fuck myself I guess I guess
I strain myself I guess I need it fucking whore you live in shit
And you will eat your own way out
I am too fly and shy like no other guy
I'm too fly and shy just for you
ILL MARK YOU ALL
I know a girl
Who sells herself around
And I'm sure that one day
She'll sign autographs in your town [x2]
Who's she fucking now?
Who you fucking now
WHO YOU FUCKING NOW?
6. Hurting And Shoving (She Should Have Let Me Sleep)
When I get back
Pre-break of dawn
Hear the ring it's me
Live from a pay phone
Talking in the rain.
Things pan out exactly as I say they will.
Will I be less happy
When I get back?
Two hand in one glove
As if we were poor.
The hard up make the soup from stones
Like the poor before them did before.
You say the waiting could crush your heart.
But it's nothing new to me
Have you crave me so desperately
But I know
How when you need me you bleed for me,
Though now I'm gone you fill my shoes with new
Fans.
Always and forever
We are apart and may she see
She'd be free rejoicing in distance
If she only let me sleep.
Will things make less happy
When I get back?
Absence makes the heart grow still.
Abuse the hunt; confuse the kill.
I know, I know.
Make the dead feel deader
Deader.
Make the dead sleep nights with a razor
Waiting.
Kill the prey.
I'll hold my child's head underwater.
If it's a boy, I was joking
If it's a daughter, I'll say I did what I did
Because I had to...
And if you find my kid later
Tell her I laughed too.
We just might work out fine
Because I love you enough
To let you give the pain that I want
...And when you do
I just might fuck you
Enough to love you.
Once upon my night stand
Lied letters piled in columns
Postmarked Middle Island
Out east in the country of Solemn.
7. Majour
You only get one taste
And for this gift we are graced.
You only get one taste
And for this gift
Wait.
Now let me go
So I can brag about the gifts that he stole.
(Thank you) For all the lonely nights.
I will carry this girl with me where I go.
Bad taste in my mouth.
You would think I'm a whore.
Bad taste in my mouth.
You would think I'm you.
You only get one taste
And for this gift we are graced.
You only get one taste
And for this gift
She's likely to go,
Or so she'll say.
We sleep as we do to keep our nights days away.
Love,
Or so she'll say.
Immature love.
You breed immature hate.
So died the virgin.
I have told you before,
You we're nothing special to him
(and that's just another thing that's nothing new for you).
You'll be born.
You before.
Embody me
With you body.
I've never seen it.
I have never.
Embody me
With your body.
I've never seen it.
Are you happy?
8. Her Middle Name Was Boom
She cured the plague of the holy child
And all the while
She just walked in
And boom! she said
In her room with her red fingernails
And a grip on the answers.
When it's home
And I'm broken, let's fix.
When it's home
And I'm swollen, let's kiss.
When it's home
And we're walking, she'll lead
If she's waiting, we'll leave.
I'm so gracious.
If you touch it
It's cold.
If you drop it
It breaks.
If you hold it
It shakes.
Boom! she said.
My name's I Dare.
All the while...

Three times alone this week, I was supposed to be a rock star.
"I only beat you when I'm drunk, you're only pretty when you're crying.
We are supposed to be the ones to set the air afire.
Three times alone this week I was made into a liar.
Whether (or not) I found the gold, I never told.
Richer: I, Brilliant White.

I wear shoes that move men from deserts to riches.
Show me what you got girl and scratch it because it itches.
Call me "chameleon" and and set this air afire.
Three times alone this week, I was supposed to be a liar.
Whether I found the gold, I never told.

What did I say to you?
Step into a pot of gold, rejoice in fire that which soon burn cold.

The love, the throat, sincerity.
And I can't deny it..

Don't you realize that I silence it?

10. Babe
I exclude light and wash my hands of you.
By larger being devoured,
Leaving only me to improve.
Eyes
Don't fucking weep
Your weak eyes cry tears of the meek
You're expectant to the [Bible/bottle]
Fiending all the foes in middle
Don't you see in the mirror that you're the selfish shit
Shot glass seems to [hug/hog] your soul
There's no point to grow
You don't have time to explore
You're already broke
Weep.
Weep.
Don't fucking weep.
Your weak eyes cry tears of the week.
Catch up with the sheep.
It's a sacrilegious ceremony.
New flavor of the week.
Nothing's sacred in the faces of the
Soulless that you're made into
Soulless that you're made into
Soulless that you're made into
You're raptured by a guilty stifle down.
You're raptured by a guilty stifle down.

11. Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence
That burning feeling.
Red liquids.
Clear liquids.
Blessed are the sick.
Children shiver in the river.
Where is our god now?
Does he watch over all in El Segundo?
He don't lie when he say,
Under.
I'm wasting away.
I find time to pine.
When pining away my time.
Within sin
With no redemption
We will find our souls
And the shells they're kept in
All wasted away.
Blessed are the sick in me.
The prey, the thrill, the chill and we
Are martyrs that crumble on time.
Predestination.
We'll stop upon dimes.
And hed constructed us all in El Segundo,
As the shivering children pray.
Demons in
Demons out.
Cry for dawn.
Gratis.
Bored.
I'm the matador of the children's ward.
Beggars wed choosers.
Red sheets.
Bed sheets.
Boozers.
I'm the head fan.
Blessed be my bed pan.
It's a cold, having just been mugged feeling.
In the sun
I've got this for you
It's under my finger nails.
I brought this for you.
It's typically Sunday.
I'm digging a hole.
I'll shut out the world,
I'll shut out the world,
This is what it's like to be alone,
This is what it's like to be alone.
12. Hotel Of The White Locust
Welcome to Hollywood Girl
My dance has passed.
Welcome to Hollywood girl.
Wake the fuck up in Hollywood whore.
Combine the throbbin' in my head
With the rhythm of my fucking feet.
Say a novena for all those lost
And read the bloodstains on the sheets.
I've whored myself for less than this
And I've prayed to appear to fed.
As I knelt on my pillow God,
I clenched the fucking fists and banged my head.
Who could ever..
Who the fuck could ever..
Take the place of me? [x2]
Now I kiss up to God my fists
And I pray to keep my head
Though I like your pretty eyes better blackened
And my fists all fucking red.
Through sickness and health,
I've kissed up to God two years, I have focused..
On the cameos made by the tiger in the valley of the fucking locust.
Who could ever..
Who the fuck could ever..
Take the place of me?
Who could ever..
Who the fuck could ever..
No one can the place of me?
Wipe...
Wipe off your mouth.
Get up off your knees and make me your god.
Who could ever,
Who the fuck could ever?
It's sexual debauchery you fucking cunt, you fucking whore,
You cost what you're worth.
Followed by a boy like this,
Reignited by all your visits.
As long as your mouth is shut you'll still be fucking beautiful.
Pack your shit and leave, and take my memories of her with you.
(I don't need to know)
[x10]
...And take her fucking with you
13. Losten
Fraudulent miracles make miracles sink ships
A rice paper princess gets two for her flinches
Fuck you
In the mists above perfection,
Rain on the parade made this crowning day the
The horns on the hood of a saint.
Fuck you
"And never the two shall meet",
Said the tiger to its greatest fan.
"The amount of love you wish to give is more than I can stand."
And now you leave me in defeat
Leave me a battered, broken man.
"The amount of love you wish to give is more than I can stand."
Now I have you where I want you
I know that you are listening
This is my chance to tell you everything
Fuck you
My chance to tell you I love you
But I've waited too long
Now the record's over
Now the record's over
Fuck you again.

EYEWTKAS is a very emotional album written about one female in particular. Dude was venting/releasing as we all have our own ways of dealing, that album was his. After which, he wrote the hidden track with just the piano and vocals as his "I'm sorry" song to her.

this is like saying "well, i only beat the shit out of my girlfriend because she made me feel horrible and that's my way of venting", it's still sexist. the reason one writes an album does not trump the rhetoric found within it. For example, one time i was mugged by a black dude. if i decided to write a song about that and i dropped the n-word all over the place " or whatever, people would say my song is racist, and rightfully so, even if I meant that song to be about just one specific person. i could then turn around and apologize but that wouldn't make the song itself not racist, it would just imply that i realize i made a mistake.
i've never really understood the glassjaw apologists here. if this were a new band writing lyrics like this, people would be pissed off, but since it's Daryl, it's okay.

How many times has Eminem lyrically murdered his wife now?

I think it does when you put it out on an album. It's one thing to write a mean song about an ex and saying things you might not actually feel, but it's another to make it an album totally based on sexist rhetoric and then sell it to impressionable young kids.
I don't even think it's okay to refer to your ex in terms like this. That is sexist too. So is Eminem's songs. The difference is that Eminem got way more flak for his lyrics than glassjaw ever did. The problem with what you're saying is you're using all these other examples of things that I don't think are okay. I mean, i see what you're trying to say, and if I didn't think these other things were bad, I'd say you have a good point.
The point you're missing is that we can't really analyze one's lyrics with an expected understanding of what the author meant, we can only really look at what the words say themselves because your basic listener isn't going to have Daryl's life story in front of them when they are hearing the songs. The lyrics are quite demeaning, and there's really no indication that they're about one person because they're left so wide open.
Besides, I think we shouldn't be saying it's okay to dehumanize someone just because they wronged you. Figure out better ways to tell someone to fuck off that aren't propping up sexist power structures. Hell, a song that isn't "shut the fuck up you stupid slut" is going to be a lot better anyway.
I'll tell you what I am under the impression. Daryl being "edge" for the first 10 years of Glassjaws career preaching Edge ideals at shows, big X's taped on the amps. Then finding shitty dance music and cocaine and becoming the biggest druggie scumbag since. If he doesn't beat his girlfriend, he sure is a fucking good poser jumping ideals and trends.

Power-violence is what they said in interviews.
I just remember hearing that is was going to be a grindcore band. I wouldn't mind it being heavier at all. :shrug:
it does sound like shikiri, the only reason ppl say thursday is because geoffs voice is so distinctive anything hes on is going to be somehow sounding like thursday.

Which is the MOST WRONG opinion. Pretty much ever.
funny, because the people who actually listen to the mid 90s emo are the ones saying it, whereas the people who don't know anything about it at all are the ones throwing out how it supposedly sounds like orchid or you and i or whatever.

it sounds like a faster, more screamy thursday... Have you ever listened to power violence?

Not sure. I recently downloaded some Orchid and Reversal of Man (the latter of which I dig a lot)... but whether or not I've heard powerviolence is immaterial when confronted with whether this sounds like faster, more screamy Thursday. I mean, have you listened to Thursday? I'm sorry but the only thing that sounds like Thursday is Geoff's vocals, which is where everyone is getting this idea that it sounds like Thursday. Yes, the singing sounds like Thursday (cause it's the same dude) but the similarities pretty much start and end there. I mean I haven't really listened to their new album (like at all) so maybe it sounds like that one? It definitely doesn't sound like Full Collapse (which is the Thursday album I am most familiar with).

Pretty much what this guy said except for not the thing about Shikiri cause I've never heard em.

Where did I say it sounds like mid 90s emo? I'm confused. Just because I said it doesn't sound like Thursday doesn't mean I automatically think it sounds like mid 90s emo or powerviolence or whatever... Honestly I could care less what it sounds like, I just know that I like it and it doesn't sound all that much like Thursday.
Orchid and Reversal of Man are hardly powerviolence...
whatever the fuck it is who cares, i bought it.

Never said they were (if this was directed to me). Honestly, to me, genres and labels are pretty much the most useless things ever. I mean to me there's pretty much 2 genres (i like it or i don't like it). And different degrees of each. I listen to what sounds appealing to me. I don't listen to a band cause they're called powerviolence or buttrock or (scr)e(a)mo or whatever else.

Right on. Good man. This website needs more non-genre-obsessed open-minded people like you.
The furthest I go with genres is: rock, pop, hardcore, rap, techno. You know, rather broad genres.

It sounds like thursday because thursday sounds a lot like the influences this band is claiming to have, just poppier and slower. This band is like a bridge between the two genres, which I believe was the point: call this PV/screamo, people will like it because it sounds a lot like thursday, then they'll get eased into the real shit.
Just because it sounds "like" thursday doesn't mean i'm saying it sounds exactly like thursday. it obviously doesn't. but it does sound a lot like thursday.

I had only started seeing them mid-to-late last year, and my Last.Fm recommended them to me, but I put off checking them out...until today. I didn't realize Geoff was in it, so once I found that out I had to listen. Upon first listen, it's pretty good stuff. I'm curious as to where this is going to go.
