The Official 'Destroy The Plastique Man' Thread

[araungzeb]

This album is absolutely amazing, it grows on me every time I listen to it. I like all of the songs, my but two favorites have to be DTPM and Homewrecker. Cher-voice aside, "Destroy the Plastique Man" is an amazingly fun song to listen and sing along to. Did anyone else notice though that the string part sounds almost exactly the same as from Rustics' "Light at the End?" I'm not calling AFA out on it or anything, I just couldnt help notice they sound almost exactly the same.

I havent seen anyone comment on Homewrecker though, which makes me sad. It definately has to be my favorite AFA song. Its amazing how it builds through the entire song, and the last part sounds almost exactly like it was ripped from something off Magical Mystery Tour (which is good because MMT is my favorite Beatles album and one of my favorite ever). IT fades into Beakless Bird very well also, which just makes the song that but more amazing.

I'm a big fan of Homewrecker, too. It was crazy when they played it live with the six-man horn section. They came out on stage in the the dark and first part with the lights off. When the music swells toward the end, all the lights came up and everyone was wearing white jumpsuits. I think about that performance every time I hear the song. Meow is the only song I'm not loving. DTPM is a contender for my favorite RocktoFastSicko song of all time.

Cool little article by our member pdoyle11 on Mainetoday.com about the recording process for the album and the current search for a distributer.

This easily is my faveroit As fast as cd. I like Open Letter to the Dammed, sure, but this album just seems so much more creative. And theres something in Spencers voice in the begining of Homewrecker thats just so beautifull. Like a subtle, crooning voice that makes me feel great.
Anyone else notice that?

And I loved Meow. It just seemed so...zany, quirky, and endearing.
