10/17/2006 | There are times when I think this track, which closed side 1 of "Forever Changes," is one of the best tracks I have heard not only from this act, but from all rock bands. This is a weird, paranoid, haunting, chilling tune about everything from nuclear destruction to racial prejudice to feelings of hopelessness and everything in between. The orchestration on this album by David Angel, who would go on to orchestrate Fever Tree's debut album a little later, is top notch, and very sympathetic to the arrangements. The Lyrics, while somewhat inscrutable at times are brilliant. Awesome track. The Bonzo Dog Band, a satirical band in England, who I guess you could describe as a cross between Frank Zappa and Monty Python did a tune called "We Are Normal" based off this track.
