Two versions of this album?

I've seen someone mention elsewhere that another version of this album exists with a second disc and am wondering if this is true or not and if so, what is the second disc comprised of? --71.156.85.133 02:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Six years ago, but just in case you happen to read this...the second disc contains "Answering Machine" (all of the answering machine clips from Hit the Skids), and the other is a cover of ACDC's It's a Long Way to the Top. Ckolar612 (talk) 21:09, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some more detail?

This is a pretty remarkable album, one that the band was striving towards and whose template they've followed ever since. Its got recurring themes (failure, growing up, uprooting oneself) and even recurring motifs (the main riff from Cool Magnet is played at the end of Laminate Man, a small reprise of All The Kids are Right is played, with different lyrics on Lead Pipe Cinch). I was wondering if there should be a section on the themes covered in this album, and how this plays like a concept album a la Pink Floyd albums. What does everyone think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.116.191.149 (talk) 23:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Concept Album?

I've always thought of this as a concept album. Lyrically it seems to be very tied together, even if the theme isn't entirely obvious. Seems to be about growing up, moving out, feeling alienated, w/e.

Lyrics aside, musically it is definitely a concept record. I don't think there is a single break on the album, and many tracks appear twice on the album. All the Kids are Right = Lead Pipe Cinch. Lucky = Lucky time. Plus the riff from Cool Magnet comes back at the end of Laminate Man.

How do you guys feel about bringing this up in the article? Ckolar612 (talk) 21:09, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
