lyrics
It doesn't matter if you're right
It doesn't matter if you're wrong
It doesn't matter if you have the whole world fooled
Into thinking you're the one
It doesn't matter what you have
It doesn't matter what you've done
It's just a load of ego-driven crap
To make you feel like you're someone.
The only thing that matters is who you helped or hurt today
If you closed your eyes to pain
If you looked or turned away
If you took or if you gave
If you shined a light into the night
Or helped to dig the grave
There was a particle of you in the first drop of rain that fell
That's just scientific law but it really doesn't help
It's just something that we know
That tells us everything is close
But it really doesn't matter all these theories we propose
The only thing that matters is who you helped or hurt today
If you closed your eyes to pain
If you looked or turned away
If you took or if you gave
If you shined a light into the night
Or helped to dig the grave

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
