I accidentally voted for the VdGG, a force of habit, but I actually meant to go for the Squire, I love that track even if it's more musically "Safe" than Meurglys III. That Discipline singing really reminds me of Hammill, by the way. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |

I fully agree with this. Safe is my choice here as well. I love Squire's bass playing and the rather classic theme in 11/4. Safe > Wgen She Dreams She Dreams in Color > Meurglys III (20+ minute epics were not VdGG's strongest side imho)
I feel the same about Matthew Parmenters vocals I listened earlier this day to his solo album All Our Yesterdays. 4-star stuff in my book with a feel of heavily Hammill-infused classic mid-70's ballads.

I voted for Discipline. Really love that track, but it is the only one I return to from that particular album. I quite like the Van Damme tune as well. Not really a fan of Squire's fish, but this track is ok. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Meurglys III, weakest VdGG song ever IMO - Hammill's angsty lyrics becoming absolutely self-parodic on this one. I mean I'm a fan, but not everything's good. Pretty much of a tie between the other two for me. |

Going with Discipline on this one... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |
