There are so many cool artist's @ deviant it makes me pity myself i stopped drawing. Its been 13 years since i last sold a drawing for money. I love the way certain art and songs go together like milk & coffee. I used to collect comics (that was also a decade or so ago) and one of my favourites was the artist formally known as Garth Ennis from Nth Ireland, he did artwork for stories like Preacher (DC), 2000AD (My first comic bought in 1977 & i still have Number 1!) Hellblazer covers (DC) & Judge Dredd (I am the Law!). if you ever want a famous connection between music and art you have to go no further than Gorillaz and Jamie Hewlett (also from 2000AD fame). Will i ever draw again? Sorry, probably no. It takes to long. As for Filter & this song, its one i teasure and love. Sometimes the lyric sung is mightier than the printed words.

Filter's 1995 debut Short Bus broke through at the exact moment when Nine Inch Nails soundalikes began dominating the modern rock charts. Filter had more credit to their sound than any of their peers -- their leader Richard Patrick had played in the touring incarnation of NIN. Nevertheless, many critics had written the band off as one-hit wonders with the crossover single "Hey Man, Nice Shot" being their one shot at glory. Since it took them four years to deliver the followup Title of Record, it could appear to the casual observer that the delay was proof positive that the band was a flash in the pan, but the album itself proves them wrong. If anything, it's a stronger album than its predecessor, with more sonic details and stronger songwriting. Title of Record is still firmly within the industrial-metal tradition -- parts of it sound like it could have been on Short Bus, actually -- but it's surprising how often Patrick bends the rules. There's trippy neo-psychedelic pop vocals that close "Captain Bligh," and even when the music rages (which it does throughout the record), there are subtle differences in tension and dynamics that keep it fresh and engaging throughout. It is true that Filter sound a little out of place within the modern rock world of 1999, where the aggro-metal is rooted in hip-hop not industrial, but that doesn't mean that Title of Record isn't a strong album on its own merits, according to the rules of its genre. ~ [Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide]
