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?

Killswitch Engage - As Daylight Dies

"Engage the killswitch!"
"I... I can't find the killswitch."
"It's there... over there... next to that lever..."
"Wha... Oh... What this?"
"Yes, that. Engage it... Engage it!... Engage the killswitch."

Lord knows what Killswitch Engage means. I know what they're about though. They're about looking serious and playing guitars and never EVER being happy.

Track one: 'Daylight Dies'. Why? Why does daylight have to die? The sun's life-giving rays are what permits life on this planet. Without daylight there's nothing.

Track three: 'Arms of Sorrow'. How miserable do you have to be to feel it in your arms. Arms should be used for waving and positioning hands so that people can see you're giving them the thumbs up.

Track 11: 'Reject Yourself'. That's not a 'can-do' attitude.

The campaign for more songs about teddy bears having adventures continues.
