"Wacaday, Wacaday, Wacaday."

This has always seemed a bit Alf Garnett to me.

It's one of those 'hating on the working classes' songs.

Cosey was the most working class out of the band.

Track 11 - Six Six Sixties.

"I am one of the injured
A tear blurs flesh
Dissolving
Like an injured dog
Like wasted limbs
Get smaller
Pain is the stimulus of pain
But then of course nothing is cured
This is the world now
Move a fin and the world turns
Sit in a chair and pictures change
Try to eat us
And get trapped
Or injured
Just"

Wow, a fade out...

How conventional. aristojar

Oh, it was just getting going as well.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Mar 27, 2020 8:43 pm

It is over.

Although, in truth, it rarely got started.

The first track of Side 2 was the only thing of interest on it.

All else was futile.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

Before.

Heathen Earth is, er... '80?

by Nightjar Fri Mar 27, 2020 8:45 pm

Heathen Earth is their best album by a fair old long chalk.

by Guest Fri Mar 27, 2020 8:48 pm

It's over.

It's been a while since I've listen to this, I think I still prefer D.o.A. The Third And Final Report, but compared to some of the live albums, it seems like a ~~really~~ relative easy listening/light entry point into the band's real material. ( aristojar

I'm still keeping the ★★★★★ rating. yes

Bit of a split decision on the voting!
