these two reviews and one article I read somewhere else make me think more of The Tower than Timothy's Monster…
Non-binary thinking doesn't always lead to good things per se. If we thought otherwise, we'd think binarily.
But dammit, yet another thought just came:
If we are talking about lack of long term studies and therefore hesitating to get vaccinated: There's the idea of a class division, vaccinated and non-vaccinated folks. They both can go about their day the way they choose to live, right? But we don't have long term studies which prove that vaccinated people are safe from gathering with non-vaccinated. Soooo…. isn't it the duty of everyone getting vaccinated?
(yes I'm aware I somewhat contradict myself to my former post about decision-making based on long term studies, but hey, non-binary ftw!
)
Another thing I've been wondering about:
How much of this vaccination denial (or doubt) thing comes from irrational fear of needles? Not sure, just wondering, mind! A traumatic, forceful penetration of the body. So it's less about choice and personal freedom, but more of an irrational self defense reaction thingy happening based on evolution going back to our cavemen vs sabre tooth tiger heritage? What if vaccination could be done by a nice minty smelling cream applied to our elbows once every 24 years? Would it be the same drama? Don't know, just wondering…
well yes, I think it should. Because it's not a personal choice. Abortion for example is one. Or suicide. Everyone must be free to choose there. But vaccination is a community thing. Like getting a license to drive through traffic where there's people roaming around, which no one is disagreeing on, strangely enough.
long term effects:
What is it with those? As if we always decide on everything after thoroughly considering them. Do we start a relationship after 10 years studying its long term effects? Do we book holidays only where we've been a thousand times before? Do we buy an album only after listening to it for 5 years?
What I mean to say is: This pandemic and the vaccination is a new thing – "zäsur" – which we are obviously challenged with mentally. We try to apply a logic behaviour and critical thinking on it which funnily enough we don't do on everything else because those everything else things we just do without second guessing due to life experiences. They're "normal".
Also, haven't we been vaccinated against tons of sicknesses as kids? Did they ask us if we wanted that? Raped our personal freedom and integrity? Are we sad we missed a chance to get tuberculosis? Those in the past who were the first to be vaccinated without long term studies, do we salute them or laugh at their naivité?
so what's your proposal?
@conscience
Bent's answer was one answer to one question at one point in time and you make a whole case around it?
it's really simple:
it's not about me
it's not about you
it's about us
so shut up
wear masks
wash hands
maintain distance
get vaccinated asap
by following those simple steps in an adult manner we'd never have had to go into lockdown. but maybe it's too simple, some people want things to be complicated and themselves to feel smarter than the rest, therefore conspiracy theories and non-acceptance of simple truths. in deep winter we wear scarfs and gloves without crying out for personal freedom.
thx for posting!
"zäsur" in english… it might be something like "paradigm shift", I guess… something happens which changes everything, and the perception and handling of "what is" has to adapt to new circumstances.

There's always one colour we don't like in that M&M's bag. And as with any release in any form: Buy or don't buy. In this case here I won't because I'm not really interested, no matter the price tag.
Speaking of shelving: Maybe songs developed through the Gullvag trilogy which didn‘t fit in ended up on this one. Like what gave us Barracuda in the height of their pop years…
Maybe it‘s totally brütal metal onslaugt :twisted:
Second that. More is more as proven since 1989. It seems they’re just constantly at it. What‘s the longest break from playing/working they ever took? A month maybe? They‘d have to have to release an album every three months to ever have a weak obsolete album. Considering the re-released box sets, that amount of temporarily shelved stuff in there speaks volumes. Can‘t compare them to other bands with „ordinary“ schedules, partially due to contractual obligations as well, though, I guess.
yes my thoughts, too. I was wondering last night where they'd go now. For no particular reason at all I imagine this one will be a bit more mellow. Just a gut feeling. Still somewhat "proggy" but also more on the acoustic guitar side, with strings and keys and shorter songs. Maybe the IALC of nowadays? Well, depends who's on the record with them. If anyone at all.
