lyrics
All these things became possible so we thought they were good
All these things became available so we figured that we should
And a theoretical jaguar stalking the wild
Is not as urgent as my coffee in the morning when I'm tired.
All these things felt so decadent they were so hard to quit
And they were so damn convenient no one really even tripped
And something that's never happened is so hard to predict
Said the turkey to the farmer on the day he was picked
And if it appears like there was no reason or rhyme
Well it all seemed like a good idea at the time
If there's anyone left to be sorry to I extend my regrets
My heart-felt apologies however insufficient
Everyone felt so innocent as they murdered away
They went to the gallows with a smile and a wave
And if you're feeling a little angry and you're wondering "why?"
It all seemed like a good idea at the time

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

For me this is a wonderful break up album. It’s not all sullen because these things in life are always emotionally mixed and the album reflects the mood swings all done without clobbering you over the head or overly forcing the subjects to fit specific places in the listeners consciousness Tommy Dog
Noise pop at its finest from this rambunctious Melbourne group that thrives on louder-than-loud guitars and belted-out vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 4, 2024

It’s hard to choose just one favorite song from this album. I said “Risk It” but Alice Bag’s third solo album is great end-to-end; every song is a fav. My only complaint is that it all goes by too quickly. You’ll tap your feet, and nod your head all through it and too soon you are at the end. I usually just start it over then though :) Jayson Lorenzen
