Did anyone notice that the breakdown of "You put me in the grave" on A Tempermental Widower is almost identical to the break down of "She simply will not die" on Face: Face?

Hmm. I guess they do sound similar.

I actually like A Tempermental Widower's more.

I guess that's bound to happen now and then....

Yeah, I just thought it was cool because it was like old school Norma Jean shining through.

Two reasons why I like this CD,

FACE: FACE!!!

MEMPHIS WILL BE LAID TO WASTE!!

This is a great CD.

I can't believe I never followed up on this CD.

I think it is the greatest hardcore album ever.

I finally got this album this summer.
And forgive me everyone, I know that nearly every single NJ fan thinks that Memphis is the greatest song ever but after listening to it I have to say that it is the most overrated NJ song of all time and of the generally overrated songs of any genre. Don't get me wrong, its a good song, but it is definitely not any bit better than any other song on that album. I was actually shocked after listening to it, I had heard so many amazing things about the song and it was a complete disappointment.

I'll give a full review yet, its a really awesome album, not as good as O God, but pretty close.

You know, honestly, this cd isn't that great..

I'm a huge Scogin fan, but his vocals are horribly bland on this album. I mean, he's way better in The Chariot.

That being said, some of NJ's best songs are on this album such as the first three tracks, "I Used to Hate Cellphones..", and "The Shotgun Message".

In short, this a great cd, but it does not represent NJ at their best musically, or Scogin at his best vocally.
