Wildcard, I've always talked about that songs for having some of their best riffs to date.

Got this at my favorite record store for $10, "Fear and Trembling" underrated?

Eh I don’t think it’s underrated, people really loved that song when they played it live.
It’s kinda funny that it’s an opener here but they played it as an encore and the crowd went fucking wild

“ Really regret not driving an hour to see em at a small venue when they toured for this

oof fatal mistake
Pretty sure they hated each other at that point but god damn they still put on a hell of a show. ETID is a top 5 live band for me no question

The fact that I will never see ETID live let alone a single song off of Radical live deeply saddens me

When all I am
is a stone that says
the name I had and the years that I had been
The quiet depths
and the measured steps
wont echo like the shriek of riot did

Seems like a lot of the lyrical content/thematic material is addiction-recovery related. Especially tracks like the coin has a say, I didn’t want to join your stupid cult anyway (both those tracks seem to take some digs at AA, especially the latter), map change.
I’m about a year in recovery (I don’t like counting days) after 33 years of addiction so stuff like this really resonates with me. I’ve also worked in a treatment center for two years. I am a 12 stepper and do meetings bout 5 days a week, but I definitely still have my issues with it. But I take what works for me and leave the rest.
Anywho. Haven’t listened to all their albums yet (haven’t heard ex lives, from parts unknown or radical yet, have only listened to this and the big dirty 2 or 3 times). But I’m starting to sense a progression: party party party in the beginning without consequence, then tracking through their albums as the inevitable consequences start piling up and the darkness begins to creep in, followed by complete and utter despair and hopelessness, then some hope followed by redemption.
I dig it man, I can dig it!

Yep that’s more or less the gist of it. I’m pretty sure he relapsed between this and Radical. Fucking covid happened tho, I’m sure a shit ton of people fell back into old habits. That’s for sure when my drinking was at its absolute worst.
You’ll really dig Radical. Post-Boredom has a really good line (among many other really good lines) that was a big inspiration for me when I got sober.

Oh dude, it was unreal how many people relapsed, got severe depression flare-ups, committed suicide etc.
That whole “shut down the country” idea should not have been an option. I feel we lost a lot more in the end.
BUT — I digress…really looking forward to it man. And I bet I’ll know the line when I hear it, most likely. I feel I should go back and give all their albums another spin, spend some more time on TBD and NJA, then jump on Ex-lives and continue chronologically.
Been on a Dillinger kick again too.

And yeah man, this band has killer fucking lyrics going back to the beginning.
