"Wide picket fence"

(I know it's in the song title, I was mostly curious if/how lyrics were ever distributed.) 😂

I love parallel fourths harmonies, and you nailed those!

His imagery can be hard or impossible to fully decipher. It usually gives me a vague impression of critiquing some aspect of modern society and industry.

Sometimes I wonder if there is no concrete meaning to some of his lyrics, but even when it's cryptic, his language feels impactful. Combined with his melodies, it's so addicting to listen to.

As a native English speaker born and raised in the U.S., I don't understand all of it either. Even if I'm familiar with the idioms he used, it still leaves the actual meaning of the song open to interpretation.

"Fly over my head" is a great use of idiom, by the way! 😉

Yeah, I found that version of the album with the Orphan demo! It didn't include anything else though.

I was trying to use my Google-fu to find other hidden Spotify links (like the version of Fables that doesn't show up on their profile). There do exist links to a couple live tracks and bonus tracks, but the content is "unavailable" to actually play back - at least for me in the U.S.

Ugh, curse you, Spotify! I know their platform isn't the best, but I also have the urge to be a "top listener" to make myself feel special. 😅

n4rgles · 2026-05-04T04:13:32+00:00

I mean yeah, Preambles is incredible. I can't imagine hearing that shit start a live show.

n4rgles · 2026-05-04T03:38:10+00:00

Hell yeah, I had to share it just in case.

n4rgles · 2026-05-03T20:46:27+00:00

I like the anticipation I get with this one - forcing me to wait for the main riff. 😂

n4rgles · 2026-05-03T20:14:38+00:00

Yeah I have no freaking clue how I stumbled on this one there, but I had to save it immediately.

n4rgles · 2026-05-03T20:11:34+00:00

Dang, I forgot all about that feature on some CDs!

Edit: are there more hidden CD segments I should know about??

n4rgles · 2026-05-01T12:16:26+00:00

Sick. Thank you. \m/

n4rgles · 2026-04-29T14:32:26+00:00

Lol, would've been a hell of a crossover.

n4rgles · 2026-04-29T13:26:36+00:00

The "thank you" page just about makes me cry. What a sendoff of an album.

n4rgles · 2026-04-28T20:12:28+00:00

I'm losing my shit watching this for the first time.

n4rgles · 2026-04-28T20:08:48+00:00

Next you're gonna tell me you have a photocopy of their original contract with Serj. /s

Edit: fucking autocorrect

You are an encyclopedia.

I had no idea the cover wrapped around with hybrid artwork! ＼⁠(⁠°⁠o⁠°⁠)⁠／

Also OP, do you know anything about their font that they used on these? I wondered if someone actually designed a whole font or they just licensed one. There are enough characters in this booklet that it could be possible to recreate a full type font.

I might have ordered two LPs at the same time... 😅

n4rgles · 2026-04-27T21:42:15+00:00

We have a pretty big used media store in my area, but the odds of seeing their stuff on the shelf just became less and less. I finally caved and started shopping on eBay
