Music reviews of Back Into Your System

Music Review: Poignant Modern Prose and The "Feel" Conspiracy, Pt. II
Rating: 1 Stars

Hey, tough guy: Do you feel big and strong?
Brutalizing ladies; Don't you know that is wrong?
Oppression feeds your soul; there ain't no wrong or right.
What it boils down to, is the desire to fight!

I'm boiling, I'm boiling, I'm boiling mad.
Far above a simmer, I feel like being bad.
The pain is deep inside, deep within my soul;
Deep, so deep, so deep, I no longer have control.

Well, there you have it, folks: "Boil," the fresh new lyrics from Bubbis Thedog, written in two minutes flat.

But wait!

Before you immediately reject these lyrics as proposterous and adolescent -as you well should-, let's inspect some arbitrarily-chosen lyrics from "Back Into Your System" by Saliva and see if there's any comparison in prose:

ALWAYS

I feel, like you don't want me around
I guess I'll pack all my things, I guess I'll see you around
Its all, been bottled up until now as I walk out your door,
All I can hear is the sound ...

I left my head around your heart
Why would you tear my world apart?

SUPERSTAR II

Been floating around up here on cloud 11.
I did my best to make it to 27.
Open up my eyes and I can see the glory.
Now I'm alive and I'm gonna tell the story.
Now I'm a superstar in the making.
I ain't f***ing around and there ain't no mistaking.
I never ask for something worth the taking.
Cause I'm a superstar, baby.

This is the cream of the crop, folks: apparently some of the best talent that record conglomerates have to offer. These are the supposedly intimate lyrics that you may scream passionately in your car, or at a party with your cohorts; these are the supposedly intimate lyrics that you possibly afford an attentive ear toward in the privacy of your home, lying on the bed or sitting on the couch, absorbing everything this man has to say, trying to establish a relation between the woes that he endures, and the turmoil of your life. Well, heck: knowing how much these babboons make off this stuff, give me an electric guitar, a 4/4-beat, a garage-band bassist, and a pen and paper, and I'll connect with you too. I'll be angry, helpless, violent... You name it, baby, and I'll give it to ya.

Adrian Belew, of King Crimson, asks on "The ConstrucKtion of Light II": "If Warhol's a genius, what am I?"

Perhaps a derivative of that question should be asked by yourself before purchasing "Back Into Your System": "If Saliva's lyrics are the cream of the crop, then what does that say of me?"

FINAL NOTE: THE "FEEL" CONSPIRACY, PT. II

4 of the first 5 songs on "Back Into Your System" include the word "feel", particularly accented on Saliva's hit single, "Always". I wonder why this song was the first to be introduced to listeners? My review on Staind's "Break the Cycle" explains in further detail my conspiracy theory based on my brother's finding.

To conclude: YES, I've listened to this entire album. NO, I'm not writing a review based on one overplayed song. Then why do I concentrate primarily on "Always"? Because the rest of the songs follow that same formula that we're all so admittedly used to, and I'd essentially be writing the exact same review over and over and over.
