    The song is supposed to be this way
    “Life is life everywhere. Life is in ourselves and not outside us. There will be men beside me, and the important thing is to be a man among men and to remain a man always, whatever the misfortunes, not to despair and not to fall - that is the aim of life, that is its purpose.”
    Fyodor Dostoyevsky

    That's part of the song...I think it is expressing how the picture isn't the whole story...something is brewing underneath. :)

    The production on the record is awful. Is had to be the loudest CD I own.

    It's supposed to be loud!
    The Woods is an amazing album!

    I think they were deliberately trying to make it as rough and abrasive as possible. After four or five albums of the same clean, polished production, they needed to shake it up.

    This album has the good kind of distortion; you can hear that it was distorted because they had the amps heavily overdriven. It's not like the digital distortion you hear on Springsteen's Magic or Avocado, where they push the song into the red on the computer just so it'll be loud in comparison to everything on the radio.

    Yes, yes, I got that but it's LOUD to the point that if I have my player on random I have to grab the switch and turn it down. Records that are like that sound bad.

    Play it on vinyl, and it makes wonderful sense. :)

    I'm sure that'll be cheap and easy to find.

    The Woods is an awesome album. If they had cocks instead of tits and vaginas, it would be considered one of the best rock albums of the past 20 years.

    I found it in Tower Records for 20 Euro. Not bad.
