| saidtaybi (Maroc) | Posted: Feb 24, 2012 - 07:15 Good Music |
| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Feb 08, 2012 - 05:46 Most definitely far from their best work. I would never take this tune as a benchmark of the band - a bit surprised Bill would choose this tune among their many fine ones..... |
| iTuner | Posted: Jan 27, 2012 - 20:53 Just as annoying as every other Morphine song. |
| whomhow (changeable) | Posted: Jan 23, 2012 - 14:27 one of those guys who always get 7 from me, no matter what song it is - they're all have equal high quality. |
| hencini | Posted: Dec 06, 2011 - 15:40 Great song. And yeah, these guys definitely hit you below the belt, so to speak. : ) |

Oh, dear lord - I hope I don't die from laughing. linden - you summed up in eight words what I was trying to formulate in a paragraph. We need to connect later, to compare experiences. God, I love this song. |

Ironic that rivals drove him to bankruptcy twice by initiating litigation questioning the validity of his patents. The jerks. That's okay, though, because his legacy lived on, whereas theirs died with them. So justice prevails in the long run, I suppose. It's an interesting story - even back then people were dishonest and resentful. I guess people always were. |
| Byronape (Purgatory) | Posted: Apr 14, 2011 - 06:41 This sax makes me want to bathe myself in some nice clean mud, wear a grass skirt and mate with a woman in the trees like a gorilla before dancing around a bonfire like a savage. Hardcore digging it. |

The horns and boogie baritone and tenor saxes are what set the atmosphere for his detached vocals. Their steady, sure rhythmic drive establish an urgency that's offset by his flat, slightly dazed, unemotional voice. Wow. My music professors from years ago would be so proud. |

| V12Silly (It's not about the bike, it's about the basket that carries the beer.) | Posted: May 05, 2010 - 06:13 MORE Sax! |
| delrosga (Most places that start with a "C") | Posted: May 05, 2010 - 06:10 It's two, two, two sax in one. This is a rockin' set list Bill: Soundgarden, SRV, and Morphine! Keep it comin'! |

| ehaflett | Posted: Nov 24, 2009 - 07:18 I saw Dana Colley play a tiny bar in Phoenix with Twinemen, it was a great show. He plays 2 saxophones on one song and his head looks like it's going to explode but what a great song. Truly an original sound. |
| edrickvb (Somerville, MA) | Posted: Nov 12, 2009 - 15:56 I saw Mark Sandman's original band Treat Her Right last night doing a reunion show at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge - they rocked! We miss Mark.... |

All saxophone's in existence should be melted down and turned into something useful, like door handles. LOL! Ah, c'mon - no sax, no Specials, no Madness, no ska or two-tone. Ok, Morphine do go a bit over the top with the baritone sax which you either love or hate, but it can be a nice instrument, honest. I should hate it to bits as my Dad was forever practicing on it when I was a kid (I can't be doing with the clarinet for that very reason), but I just love its cheeky anarchic ptharrrp! rasp, the way it says "I don't give a monkey's, I'm gonna give you a good time". |

I love practically every song off every one of their other albums, but this album has always sounded phoned-in to me... I must say my favorite album of theirs is "The Night" but who can not love Sharks, or Honey White (I'd like to see you little more fat) or the eternally sad "Gone for Good"?This album is certainly more out there but that's probably one of the reasons I like it so much. |
