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.
A new schläger? Already??? Feels TAIO’s been out for just a few months. Well I did doze a lot through 2020, but still…
So the boys have been busy, fine for us!
