Its fine if you don't like it, but I myself don't see the relevance to your arguement. Why are the verse similar? Because that's the intention, they are meant to work off of each other to get the point across, it's a very good songwriting tool. Great lyricists, be it Bob Dylan, Gord Downie or even John K, seem to find a better way to say things in fewer words as their work progresses, choosing to use less words and words with more impact to get their point across, which I think is the mark of a great writer. Someone can make each verse and/or chorus sound completely different and still write completely useless lyrics, turn on your radio right now and you'll equate with what I'm talking about. Its not about how many words he does or doesn't change, but which words he changes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's fair to say that the reason most of us are on this bored is because of Matt's lyrics, expecially those in songs like Pledge, which I would say sheds light on how he felt after the band fell apart, maybe it's just that as a writer I appreciate them more, dunno. Discussion = good Amen driftinginfluence Amen!

avalanche has to be my favorite album aswell, but i think people tend to like the MGB stuff a little more because thats what got them into Matt Good and depending on the mood of the individual i think BM has a real tendency to get me fired up with the harder songs. As of right now i cant stop listening to avalanche, the lyrics are brilliant (like every album) but the way the songs are made and put together its just an amazing thing to listen to

Weapon is an amazing video, who ever directed or produced or filmed it .. who ever was in charge of it is a genius. it meshes perfectly with the song, but carmelina is a real good video too.

when he was in winnipeg the way he moved around on stage for 21st century living was amazing, looked like he was having a ball so i gotta give that the best live song, avalanche was so good too because of the dynamics and hello time bomb when its slowed down is ridiculous

1. Prime Time Deliverance 2. Strange Days 3. Suburbia 4. Symoblistic White Walls

Avalanche with AOB in second .. both albums are brilliantly put together, like someone said earlier the darkness to AOB gives it a real esge but Avalanche has to be my favorite album ever created and I doubt that will ever change, its ridiculous how amazing that album is

1. The Rat Who Would Be King 2. Pledge Of Allegiance 3. Truffle Pigs 4. Sort Of A Protest Song 5. A Long Way Down 6. Advertising On Police Cars .. 7. Flashdance II 8. Running For Home 9. Weapon done and done
