Bayside - Bayside

I'm increasingly in a quandary about Bayside. While they're prone to song titles such as 'Tortures of the Damned' and 'Dear Tragedy', they do have the good grace to open their album with 'Hello Shitty'.

This is good for two reasons: 'Hello' is entirely the right word with which to start an album and 'shitty' is one of the best ways of continuing it.

There's surely an interesting story behind 'They Looked Like Strong Hands' as well. Was a member of Bayside ultimately disappointed in someone for failing to open a jar of Patak's curry paste, after he'd presumed they were capable due to the appearance of their hands?

Was there a freak climbing accident after another Bayside member had entrusted a bystander with the belaying? What does a strong hand look like? They're hardly rippling with muscles, are they?

Bayside - The Walking Wounded

I'll level with you: The only reason I'm reviewing this album is because of one song title. I'll give you a choice of three. See if you can guess which one caught my eye.

(1) Duality
(2) Thankfully
(3) Pop Ular SciencE

That's right. The answer was (4) 'They're Not Horses, They're Unicorns'.

What kind of moron can't spot a unicorn? It's got a massive great horn coming out of the middle of it's frigging head. Unlike horses. There's no hope for some people.
