Islands - The Arm

[oayia]

anyone know who the artist of this pic is?

[alchemistofpain]

G.E.N.I.U.S



[runorimac]

This album just got savaged. For no reason. It's different and really rich. The whole album sounds big as hell. Great stuff.

[Hitiphany]

I wish the last progression (right at the very end) of this song lasted for a few hundred hours.

[ShuklaInToonTown]

I like how happy this song sounds...until you realize it's about a slow, agonizing death from a car crash.

[NerdyNinja08]

u guys should totally watch my lyric vid for this because i have no views on it and i worked hard on it lol..

[MRapatas]

@NerdyNinja08 lol haha

[fuckwasabi]

This song sounds perfect. I like to think this song is about bliss and pure existence. The arm symbolizes coming out of your mommy's wound. And the picture looks like a vagina sooooooooo much. It all makes sense. Picture is trippy

[HammerOvThor]

@fuckwasabi *womb, and i agree

[ChilloutSessionZ]

I am a great judge of musical character, and this band has it.

Sorry mainstream dosnt dress these guys up and tells them what to say and baphomet gestures for you little kids to like.

Brainwashed youth = Brainwashed future

You will always be sheep

[donjaun88]

I saw this at Walter's on Washington. I liked their freshman album more, but i loved this song possibly more than any of the other ones on that first album. So i bought the CD at the stand to show support.

[presby100]

if found there sample disk at a good will for like a buck.

[IAreDunce]

LOVE this band.

[haggusmcgee]

Thank you for smoking much?

[infirmarybluesism]

god. Arm's Way and Return to the Sea are so fucking bad ass. I wish someone would put the song, If, up. I havent really listened to their new album but it doesnt seem to cool...maybe i just need to settle in it a bit more.

[SweetMisery1514]

And to continue augustiam's comment on ice cream.

You see.

Ice cream, like music, is so good that you can't just pick one flavor.

There's always one that you've been wanting to try.

Or maybe need to try ?

:)

[LogInAnders]

@SweetMisery1514 But unlike music there aren't that many flavors of ice cream accessible. Choosing vanilla every time is pretty boring compared to chocolate. ... Thus: Islands. QED

[DelScorcho11]

@LogInAnders what are you talking about there's like 5000 different flavors of ice cream.

[augustiam]

Everyone has different taste....we might as well argue for hours about which ice cream flavor is better.

[norsefire13]

@augustiam althought to be fair we all know that chocalate is the best, right? XD

[Hespian22]

@norsefire13 Vanilla dawg

[KypHeM]

meh................

[johnny719]

The Arm came for you. Wow, that's good stuff.

[JoeElms]

0:36 seconds is my favorite part.

[sunenka]

The best band ever!!!

[CadoodlyChandler]

Hand temple handle temple.

[asaturn]

this reminds me of a theme song to a wild west TV show or something

[crazyvideoplace]

That's not very open-minded of you Sr. Klidron02.... This band doesn't suck... I mean it isn't a matter of opinion, they are talented... maybe you don't like their music but they really DON'T suck...

[Prolute]

@crazyvideoplace Funny that you would accuse him of not being open minded and then declare your opinion as fact.

[simonwoulfe]

@Prolute (this is crazyvideoplace btw)

I'm not stating an opinion is the thing. They are talented musicians. Whether or not someone can play music is a fact, whether or not a band writes good or bad music is an opinion.

[copperheadsif]

@Prolute

he in no way declared it as fact. Seems to me though that you wanted to pick an argument out of thin air.

this is actually the first person on youtube i've ever seen that didn't like angrily respond to some idiot to watching something he didn't like and then flaming it.

[acefilms28]

then why are you listening to them do you like going through things you hate torturing yourself for no reason guess that makes you one of the emos out there

[GalagaGuru]

I hate this band.... So much.... *crys*

[mrfelony]

crys, lol

[mikemcnellyf]

2:41 i cum every time hear that triplet

[kpg51876]

Wow, I didn't even notice that til you pointed it out. It is completely badass. very subtle.

[mikemcnellyf]

badass is definatly the right word for it, its actually the best word to describe all they're songs, especially they're unnicorn days

[britchic2006]

i saw these guys a couple of months ago in austin they were awesome!!

[brohym08]

my second fav band at the moment, i still think hendrix is better

[Werock4roll]

classics should always win if you ask me.

Rush

Hendrix

Led Zepplin

They are like the gods of music.

[JShah14]

I hope you're kidding about rush, there are many better bands than them. Actually, most bands are better than they were.

[wanky448]

wtf how could you compare classic rock to indie rock?

[brohym08]

im not but i love islands and the arm, what are you saying we should all just stick to one genre, fuck you, you narrow minded asshole

[wanky448]

whoa ease up on the roids there! guess you can't understand english very well.... i was saying how could you compare a band like the Islands to Hendrix...fucking retard!

[crazyvideoplace]

Do you mean literally how can you compare them? or... Are you saying Indie Rock is nowhere near as good as Classic rock?

[wanky448]

jesus i guess you just read my comment and didnt read the comments i replied too......a guy was comparing the Islands to Jimi Hendrix....any smart person can tell you thats impossible...never said one style was better than the other!

[Drexeh]

Golly gosh, you absolute joker! Go run along you little scamp, adaboy.

[Drexeh]

When I first heard this song, I didn't know the title. I thought it was about Resident Evil's Leon S Kennedy. The lyrics 'That's why Leon (the arm), came for you' Being, in Resident Evil 4 he was searching for the president's daughter, and the reference to a burning car crash, was what you saw at first in Resident Evil 2 when you played as Leon.

And all that shit about changing, I thought it was about the physics shifts from Resident Evil 1,2,3 to 4.

[Eranmane]

I laughed. Thanks :P

[cmcoultrup]

I love this band! i saw them in NYC last night!!! They performed before Blonde Redhead.

[wishenough]

I saw it, too! That was a great show. I actually preferred them to Blonde Redhead.

[cmcoultrup]

Me too. They were amazing. I bought the cd. I don't think they were as good as live but they still rock. I was kinda mad that Amedeo couldn't sing more songs cuz he lost his voice. But my favorite songs that were played were Equus and 23. What about you?

[wishenough]

I hadn't heard them before the concert. My friend brought me, because she was a fan of the Unicorns back when they were together. I thought Rough Gem was cute.

[REGIFISHY]

wow that's cool

[crazyvideoplace]

Good stuff man.....

[crazyvideoplace]

woohoo!

[lfcfemmefan88]

I love this band...amazing.

[jonestown222]

dig it

[casablancas]

very very interesting
