That last 5 minutes or so, that guitar was 🔥. I was working on mayport naval base in Jaxx and one of the ships had their demo CDs on a table, so I grabbed one. Sometimes great music finds you.
Who actually dislikes this enough to downvote it? I understand maybe if you are only a metal fan or something so you can't get into happy hearted music, but there's plenty of guitar shredding in Umphreys. There's plenty of everything with UM, they're a versatile band. I'm just so disappointed in music fans these days, that's really what I'm trying to say here.
+LilStow I never said they were metal, I said I could understand someone not liking this song if maybe they really only listen to death metal or something.
+sirdudal0t Ha no apologies needed bro. I just didn't understand why you got angry with me, when I never said anything negative about anyone, and you obviously misconstrued or flat out misread what I wrote, all I stated was I don't really understand how someone could really dislike this song or their music (unless they only are limited to only to listening to certain genres, like death metal or something haha). You also get all upset because you thought I said anyone who dislikes this is stupid or they like terrible music. And I ended my comment by saying I just think it's sad that this music isn't more popular... do you not agree? You said Mantis was even your favorite song, so isn't it sad that it's not more widely listened to?
JJ I still think I do need to apologize. I was being mad sensitive. I just don't care for when people don't get how people could like or dislike things that many people do in fact like or dislike. It's like you're claiming that the set of experiences in someone's life that lead to liking or disliking something are invalid. If we use our imaginations enough I'm sure we can all see how anyone could like or dislike anything given the right previous experiences, which btw are often things people don't even get to choose. It's like drawing a line in the sand and saying you're on one side, and some people are on the other, and implying that everyone that's not on your side of the line is wrong because they didn't have the right childhood. But it is just an implication, and at what point do we actually need to oppose people because they're on the wrong side of a particular line? There is a point we do, I just don't know if music preference is it.
6:14 I hate to say it.. you're no replacement. Excuse you cannot buy. It seems so aimless, too short and painless, the truth you cannot hide. The troubled measures to something better there's one more word to try.. I hate to say it; you're no replacement. im never good at lies im never good with liars im never good with lies im never good with lies (last half of complete amazing cont.)
Oh it brings back memories of them opening this at the mascarade in Atlanta. One of the hardest umps songs to cover on drums. Chris is too amazing at beats
hell yes i was there and it was also my first UM show. they were amazing and i've been wanting to see them again since. i only watched about 3 minutes of their bonnaroo set because i got separated from my friends after Radiohead. UM was scheduled 2-4am and they played until 6:15am. amazing
@MeltinsHouseOfMusic its not my fav but a great album my favorite album is, live at the Murat or Anchor drops favorite song though has to be 40s theme or Nothing to fancy
This song lyrics represent what it's like to get trapped into a cult under a leader who "preys" on his followers like a Mantis. "We believe there's something here worth dying for" joining the cult for its attractive ideology "Your will be done I'm not the only one", pledging support for the leader "So whats your point who's the next you will anoint" seeing the immoral higher-ups the cult leader surrounds himself with "There's nowhere to transcend to if we've got no ears to lend you" realizing the ideology offers no chance for salvation "I hate to say it your no replacement" the narrator standing up to the leader, telling him he's no replacement for a personal sense of spirituality "I'm never good with liars" Basically fuck off, I'm leaving The final epic guitar solo is the liberation the singer feels from escaping
This song has everything, it's close to perfection.

Man, what a trip down memory lane. This album was the soundtrack of such a happy and free time of my life
One of my favorites ❤
this is the best band around right now. studio albums do NOT do them justice. gotta see em live.
Awesome. I love the studio. Trying to catch them somewhere after this virus
You mean the cold and flu? That’s been around since forever. 😒
Amazing song so glad I decided to revisit this band since high-school
I remember seeing them at Fillmore Charlotte. We encored them back and they performed Pink Floyd's Time. I can't wait to see them again soon

I just absolutely love this song. Everyone should.
Saw this in Charleston, SC 4/12/2012 for their Encore. By far the best encore I've seen.
my mind was blown last night....
This song is just indescribably awesome
I haven't heard this is SOOO long! I forgot their talent in songwriting and playing!
Seeing them live for the first time at SUMMERCAMP! three days of em!
This is the best..
Mind blown perfectly..
The definition of awesomeness

***** You're right. I was ANGRY that day, full on autistic. Apologies to all.
+JJ UMPH IS DA SHIT

The troubled measures
to something better
there's one more word to try..

im never good with lies
im never good with lies

Heard this song (and group) for the first time just now. Impressive.
seeing them this friday at the LC in columbus! This is my first time seeing Umphreys so excited!
Holy hell i get to see theses guys live tomorrow
Favorite fucking umphreys studio song right here. Probably just my favorite umphrey's song in general. KILLS IT. Beautiful.
The opening get me
Oh it brings back memories of them opening this at the mascarade in Atlanta. One of the hardest umps songs to cover on drums. Chris is too amazing at beats
WOW! This new Steely Dan is GREAT!
lol
Might finally get to see them soon ! yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
hell yes i was there and it was also my first UM show. they were amazing and i've been wanting to see them again since. i only watched about 3 minutes of their bonnaroo set because i got separated from my friends after Radiohead. UM was scheduled 2-4am and they played until 6:15am. amazing
Umphreys at Rothbury was epic 2009
what a band.song, and album. You must see them live, anywhere will do, but red rocks is tthe greatest.
@willybubba18 Not my first, but that show was incredible. Good way to usher in your love for UM.
so absolutely true.
@MeltinsHouseOfMusic Thanks for uploading this!
Amazing!
nah dude I think Anchor Drops takes the cake. Doesn't matter though. Love the band. Hoping to see my 50th show in 2014 \mm/
most definitely!
@MeltinsHouseOfMusic Trying to pick a favorite Umph album is moot, but if I had to pick one I'd go with Anchor Drops.
These guys remind me of An Endless Sporadic
@MeltinsHouseOfMusic its not my fav but a great album my favorite album is, live at the Murat or Anchor drops favorite song though has to be 40s theme or Nothing to fancy
Absolute bullshit you can only buy this digitally from iTunes as an album only.. This is the one song I want 😤😤
This song lyrics represent what it's like to get trapped into a cult under a leader who "preys" on his followers like a Mantis.
"We believe there's something here worth dying for" joining the cult for its attractive ideology
"Your will be done I'm not the only one", pledging support for the leader
"So whats your point
who's the next you will anoint" seeing the immoral higher-ups the cult leader surrounds himself with
"There's nowhere to transcend to if we've got no ears to lend you" realizing the ideology offers no chance for salvation
"I hate to say it
your no replacement" the narrator standing up to the leader, telling him he's no replacement for a personal sense of spirituality
"I'm never good with liars" Basically fuck off, I'm leaving
The final epic guitar solo is the liberation the singer feels from escaping
GOO
@MeltinsHouseOfMusic this is a good album but the best has to be anchor drops
of course, but their studio is still filthy and clean as hell.
So fucking clean and crunchy. and godly
I keep forgetting that this is all the same song.
agreed
milk granules
is that not a sample from a haunting?
gud
Alot of your fans are ga-ga-ga-ga-ghosts.
