Yeah, I agree actually, Cedric's lyrics actually make lots more sense in ADTI than TMV.
I never thought of Relationship of Command as a concept album really. Sure, some reoccurring themes in there, but surely not a concept album, kinda a stretch.

Lately, I've been listening to way more ADTI than TMV actually.

Agreed. Initiate:

Does anyone else think that Cedric's lyrics, though rather nonsensical, worked better here than in TMV?

I do.

At least some ATDI songs make sense. Personally, I've always thought Relationship seemed to be kind of a concept album.

Like, about aliens or something attacking people in some secret base and spreading across the world and causing quarantine and stuff. Lots of lyrical themes about stuff like that.

Cap'n Jazz aint bad, but there are better bands to get into IMO, they're kind of Emo leaning towards Emo-Pop, sort of like Mineral and Sunny Day Real Estate, with a bit more of a rough and dissonant edge

Analphabetapolothology. It's a discography release, compiling all their recorded material. Tracks 1-12 on disc one are the best ones, they were originally released on their LP in 95. All of their stuff is more or less brilliant, though.

Yes they did


I don't approve of modern bands and their constant theft.

You're so upset about At the Drive In taking their name from a Poison song? This seriously offends or upsets you? Do you not realize how many bands take their names or album names or song times from lyrics, quotes, titles, and any other source of inspiration serious or comical?

That aside, I still want to hear that Cap'n Jazz album Anabethaology or whatever it is.

About time something like this happened here. I consider them my favourite band. My favourite album is In/Casino/Out, followed by Acrobatic Tenement and their earlier EPs. Relationship of Command is less interesting to me. Sounds too modern, too much like all the sh*t bands these days trying to rip off that sound with horrible results.

Fans of earlier stuff (pre-Vaya/Relationship) should check out Cap'n Jazz and Drive Like Jehu, and maybe also The Hal al Shedad.

NAH MAN! Acrobatic Tenement was great. They were young, spastic and had no money. Its a perfect recording of youth, rage, and good times.


Well I'm glad someone likes it! I suppose I need to give it more listens now that I'm more into the band. I've only listened to it like twice or maybe 3 times if you count scattered listens.

Please explain yourself. I don't understand why taking band names from lyrics would offend anybody...
