Abacab: Yea or Nay?
 

Topic

Neay. The title track is fun aside from that damn solo, but other than that the album can suck a big fat one.

It would be the greatest album of all time if it had the song "Illegal Alien" instead of 'Man On The Corner'.

Okay so now we know it's terrible.

I'm sure there's an ABACAB lover in there yearning to be free, just waiting for the right moment to burst out in a shower of blood and rainbows.

I bet you could fit 2-3 in there.

No. No it wouldn't. That's an awful song that ruins an alright album, even if they did title it after their name, over ten years later. :rolleyes:
There are a few good tracks, but not enough to make a decent Genesis album.
Slayer is holding him back.

Waiting for Neapolitan. Paging Mister Neapolitan.... :D

There is so much to say about this album. I wish I able to give it the review it deserves.

I enjoy the works of the abocib.

What's stopping you? Surely this is your chance to tell us all how wrong we are?

While reading that it seems like you elected yourself as the head honcho of the anti-Abacab gang and you're daring me to knock the chip off your shoulder.

See that is your problem right there. You can't wait to put on your boxing gloves and go a few rounds with who's right and who's wrong over Abacab. Well kudos to Oriphel for playing the part of Miles Jergens. Icydk he's the promoter who gets heavyweight champion Apollo Creed to fight Rocky. (Icydk Apollo Creed would be Trollheart, the heavyweight champion of album reviews.)

I honestly couldn't give a toss about your hard-on for Abacab. But if you want a thread to wank over it in, this is it. You can't have it both ways: oh I wish I could review Abacab, but I won't do it as TH is mean. ****'s sake man, grow up, huh?
:rolleyes:
And yes, I'm painfully aware that makes me sound like Frownland.

Whether he does it on purpose or not is beside the point, Neapy is MB's funniest member.

I'm just sayin', he's a guaranteed undercover stoner. And Ori is the funniest member.

Well I guess that's what you want, you want me to take the dive, hey btw isn't that the plot from Rocky? Well guess what, Rocky didn't take the dive.

Oh dear lord.
Let me try once more.
I do NOT CARE a) whether you like the album or b) whether you review it. You were the one who said you wished you could review it. So review it. Or not. I do not care. Run this in a constant loop and you might eventually get it.

OK, if you dare me to I just might review it.

lol

Oh yeah? But what do you really mean when you say that?

He's onto you, buddy!

You'll never know.
;)
If this were the old days I'd take a full-page advert out in NME, Melody Maker and Kerrang! Maybe then he'd get it. Ah well: got to admire him for sticking to his guns, I guess. Like I do. (Shrug)

Look at you go! You'll be shaking your ass to some Hootie and the Blowfish at a corporate event in no time.

You and Chula should be grindin' on a wife who shall not be named.

LOL You'll only be wasting your money cause I don't read those rags. And Abacab aint no gun, it a cannon, a cannon of greatness that shoots out confetti. A a confetti cannon - if you will - and everyone knows when a confetti cannon goes off it dazzles the audience.

^When you think of it, even the album cover is a picture of confetti. That's a magnification of confetti 10,000 X's.

Confetti sounds like some loser Genesis ****. Good call, Nea.

What are you talkinbout Willis? Confetti cannons are da bommb.

I remember confetti cannons when I was going to Insane Clown Posse shows. You into that?

Nope. Coulrophobia.

Boom, bro. Confetti cannons at a Genesis show ain't so hot.

It's an analogy, bro. You know what that means? Probably not. You probably think that an analogy is the study of the anal but it aint that. It means like comparing two unrelated things to make a point.

Why don't we talk more about anal, sweatness?

.

That's what I don't talk about, moist cheeks.

Appropriate indeed, since you usually talk out of your ass. :)

Anyone who didn't expect me to make this joke can leave now: we don't need your kind around here.
:ar_15s:

Let me just make a dramatic goodbye thread.

Fair warning: I am telling right now, you can talk bout any body part of mine except what's in me boxers. I'm serious now, keep my "ass" out of your mouth.

^idk does that sound stern enough? :confused:

And then don't leave.
Wasn't talking to you, pal. You often talk sense. Was aimed at the Batster.

I agree......It isnt that good...

Now FACE VALUE on the other hand is excellent!

It worked at the time of its release. In hindsight, not so much.

Dodo/Lurker is one of the best post Hackett songs they ever did IMO though.
