Killswitch Engage - The End Of Heartache

Track one: 'Bid Farewell'.

What kind of an amateur makes a mistake like that? 'Farewell' is a form of goodbye. What dullard starts with that? I'm surprised they don't inadvertently garrotte themselves on their guitar strings, they're so in need of supervision.

If I were in charge of Killswitch Engage (and they'd be a better band for it), I'd start the album with a song called 'Meet Teddy'. Track two would be 'Get To Know Teddy'. Track three would be 'Teddy Decides To Go For A Walk'.

Tracks four to 11 would relate to different characters that Teddy bumped into during his adventures. Track 12 - because there should never be more than 12 tracks on an album - would be entitled 'Teddy Arrives Home - The End'.

You'd know where you were then, if you were listening on 'random' or 'shuffle'. If Teddy were talking to a giraffe who'd lost his shoes, you'd know you were in the thick of the adventure. If Teddy were saying 'hello', you're at the start.

A bit of organisation. That's all that's needed. Where are you with 'Rose of Sharyn'? Who knows? Who cares?
