      Supersonic Scientists – The Quiz

      No entries yet? Picking one song per album I find quite difficult. Will it be a choice of rather accessible songs, the well knowns, favourite live staples or overlooked obscurities or a mix of them all? And no "phone-a-friend" option doesn't make it easier either…

      here's my guess, some I find obvious, some a bit "risky":

      nothing to say

      watersound

      's numbness

      heartattack mac

      vortex surfer

      my best friend

      the slow phaseout

      überwagner

      kill devil hills

      year zero

      whole lotta diana

      x-3

      the afterglow

      hell 4-6

      forget it

        These were the ones I chose:

        Nothing To Say

        Watersound

        Nerve Tattoo

        Un Chien D'espace

        Vortex Surfer

        The Other Fool

        For Free

        Ãœberwagner

        Triggerman

        Year Zero

        Cornucopia

        Starhammer

        The Afterglow

        Hell 4-6 or Entropy (I honestly don't remember which one I chose :lol: )

        Forget It

        But I doubt this will be the tracklist since it far exceeds the 90 mins running time…

          Almost forgot to get this in in time, spending way to much time trying to make a decent list. Chaning my mind a bunch of times, this is what I think ended up with:

          – Plan #1 (I feel this song sort of combines all the various styles on DB. Sing-along hit Nothing to say feels sort of dated I think)

          – The Golden Core (was originally thinking watersound due to the "no long songs" policy, but a guide to motorpsycho (young, infant, middle-aged or old) without the Golden Core, is just wrong, very very wrong)

          – The Nerve Tattoo (obvious choice, the first real mainstream hit (wasn´t it?), and a killer song! This would probably make my list as well)

          – walking on the water (another hit, not very good one, but i guess they and many people like it..)

          – Vortex Surfer (i must say I´m gonna be surprised if this one doesn´t make it)

          – The Other Fool (ep edit)

          – The Slow Phaseout (they probalby chose the 7" edit of go to california, but that song is aweful)

          – Serpentine (again, a single, but also the best song on the record imo. please don´t put neverland on your album!!!)

          – No Evil

          – A hoof to the head (Tuff choice, it might be a trap, but since they cut up the suite my guess is one of them. I think a went with a hoof; informing the young persons that they´ve been trough every phase, but never all at once, in case the children still are a bit genreconfused)

          – Ozzylot (one of the shorter, more melodic songs to lure the kids in…? Come to think of it i guess cornucopica is the one)

          – X-3 (kÃ¥res kommers mix)

          – Hell pt 1-3 (or did i choose the afterglow..? I think Hell is a good example of the current state of smÃ¥proggay heavy rock mp)

          – The Promise

          – Mockingbird [i](wild guess, the songs are good enough, but i could think of a bunch of other "not really a regualr album" EP / mini album / collaborative album tracks to choose. I guess they choose this album to match the "collector frency" chapter in the book ;)[/i]

          My personal one-song-from-each-of-these-albums-right-now list:

          Plan #1

          The Golden Core

          The Nerve Tattoo

          Back To Source

          Taifun

          30/30

          Serpentine

          Bedroom eyes

          No Evil

          The Alchemist

          Riding the Tiger

          A bomb proof roll…

          the afterglow

          Hell pt 4-6

          Cutie In Decay

              As expected, no-one managed to get the quiz 100% correct :lol:

                  @kjellepelle Where did you find the info about the bonus tracks?

                  But it is probably not included in the Limited edition? :(

                      I think there is a 7 inch to be sold at Rockheim.

                        The bonus tracks were kinda given already, since they're going to sell a Psychonaut/Toys 7" at Rockheim, co-inciding with the exhibition.

                        I got 7/15 right, at least. And I like most of the actual tracklist. But hearing Part 1 of LLM alone is going to be weird, and I actually have my doubt how it will sound on its own right between NTS and VS…

                        I guess reading the book while listening to this release will give maximum pay-off :D

                          wow, only 3 of 15 right. Should've gone a bit less risky. Not lamely saying it's "obvious in hindsight" but I honestly didn't think there would be so many singles/hits like Starmelt, GTC, Other Fool, Nerve Tattoo and Serpentine. Kudos to the winners :)

                            all the info was taken from the Stickman website. The CD bonus track are identical with the 7" that are going to be sold at the Rockheim exhibition as Thor Egil mentioned.

                            #28336

                            There actually were people who guessed this completely right? Kudos to them, I think I got about 4/15.
