I spent my entire senior year of high school listening to this album. Billy's ability to build intricate songs around these sonic landscapes never ceases to amaze me, it feels like he never puts a note or tone wrong.
Listening to Billy's new stuff makes me miss his older material, and it's brilliant! I love how his voice harmonizes with the synth and bass in the chorus, while the guitar harmonizes with the synth, but the guitar melody is separate from his vocals! It creates this weird euphoria when you try to pay close attention to it due to the brain trying to understand all of the sounds at once! Billy is known for having dozens of layers of sound on his recordings, all harmonizing with one another, and it sounds glorious!
This is how synth is done properly. I don't like synth that much, but it works here. I have no idea why he has to have synth in every single song he writes now. It just doesn't work in the hard rock songs. Atum and CYR are well written in some respect, but are found lacking in the mixing and the awful synth. In TFE it works well due to the nature if the songs themselves and the overall tone of the album.
Wish this was streaming...I admit at the time I did not appreciate it, but that's the beauty of B.C. he's always ahead of his time and I really like this album now and want to listen to it more. Mina Loy is incredible!
this song is nice, but I feel too much effort being put on to create the sounding environment. Sometimes simpler is better. Still probably the best song I heard from him since Machina.
@@henrea4749 not really. For me it was in the same line of some songs of Machina but without the necessary edge that Smashing had in Machina. I guess "yeah" and "jesus" were the only songs that actually caught my attention. all the others are very much alike.

This dude is a special talent as a songwriter... and a poet with the lyrics.
absolutely, blows Kurt Cobain out the water.
@@skero7359 💯 I like Nirvana but Billy is one of the best guitarists and songwriters that ever lived.
Never had a song with my name in it!
Great great song and album...

Beau et envoûtant.
Billy's prime 🖤🖤🖤
What an album. His Best!!!
perfect jam. last few years of college i had this album loaded on my Nintendo DS and would listen to it in-between classes.
My fav WPC solo song. I'm just one wish away from you, kid.
yup o e of his best ever
This song was inspired by 9-11 he was living in New York at the time. Great song.
...but he said he was imagining it happen to Chicago
I’m pretty sure He was still living in Chicago, he said it was about if a terrorist brought a dirty bomb into Chicago
Very fitting, considering the apocalyptic aura this song has
yeah, incompetence from both sides, that day..hehe, nation is retarded but we got the poppy fields & that's a win I suppose
@@thecountergentlemanhe was living in NYC on 9/11. He’s mentioned in interviews how he heard the plane fly over his apartment
Best song on a fairly crummy album
love ittttt
what year did this came out? its soo good!
