TMT weren't horrible or anything like that, I just didn't find them to be anything special. An OK band, even if the songs mostly sounded like second-rate, discarded Sisters songsPrescott wrote:The Merry Thoughts stuff just might be rejected Sisters B-sides (or A-sides), for what it's worth. I think that the production on 'Psychocult' is the only thing holding that album back. It sounds very, uh, demo-esque, shall we say. But it's still good, especially in MONO. Give it a try. You might hear something familiar.
Rosetta Stone was awesome, but Porl's current miserylab is pretty awesome in it's own way, as long as you aren't expecting 100% Rosetta Stone.
Oh and Nosferatu was ok on that first day you might have disovered them, but like the girl you met at the Batcave one night while drunk, seems fun and interesting at first but in the morning, when all the make-up and beer are gone. Well, you get the picture.
Remember to try TMT in MONO, and if you're listening to Millennium Done I: Empire Songs, please crank up the bass.
Back in '97, a friend of mine believed quite strongly that The Merry Thoughts were actually TSOM operating and releasing albums under a different name, because she had thought that she heard TSOM play some TMT songs at the one-off gig that TSOM did in Philly that year. Since she wasn't especially familiar with TMT, I'm assuming that she heard some of the (then) new stuff, and somehow confused the songs with TMT songs that she had heard at some point prior.Carcharoth wrote:
