engine down is for lost loves and painted pictures... for desperation, longing, regret and possibilities of things yet to come.... it's tragic and hopeful and beautiful... one of my all time favorite bands.
This is a great track.. this is primarily why I bought this album... God damn-it, I really wish they kept going.. The self-titled album after this was even better... :/
This is a good band. Been a fan of theirs for awhile. Too bad they broke up. Much better than that shit from bands like Panic and My Chemical Romance BS
haha nah becasue if sparta were atdi why for the first to albums they sounded so much more punk than atdi were and then on three they sound liek coldplay, its got more feeling that wat atdi could do u fegg
wtf im not even saying im punk u fukcing fegg, i was talking bout music i dont appear to look punk or follow and punk trends and why would i?? the only sorta punk music i like is the post punk that atdi made and yeah ok that might not of happend with out the fist punk but yeah and wats this pop punk shit ur on bou8it stfu u dick and leanr stuff bout sum 1 b4 u start saying shit and makes u look like the dick u are
More bigotry, and you managed to drop the mental bar at least three or four notches.
I noticed you didn't deny the whole "Hot Topic thing...hmmmm...must be true.
Finally, I only do homework on people and things I care about. Fortunately, you are not one of them. Now feel free to fire off your volley of "fegg" comments and penile allusions. It only continues to soil any hope one might have that you are at least as intelligent as a small child or maybe a lessar mammal.
haha well seeing as i did say abut the whole "hop topic" thing cos that was the pop punk remark but you are to much of a Fegg to realise it i was denaying it seeing as we dont even have hot topic in UK and its obviuse u do care otherwise u wouldnt still be replying ot me..under stand?? haha see ur getting annoyed and im just laughing cos i no your a fegg and that i am right so even tho i am reply to your next one dont mean a thing i just liek widning up little dicks like you :D
No, Sparta are not much better than this for the simple fact that Sparta are basically At The Drive In, and Engine down are on Lovitt Recordings, one of the most influential labels in "post-punk". That, and they rock much harder.
does anyone know where to get the mp3 version of this? because well, I'm cheap i don't use I-Tunes or anything i only use the free programs like Ares and Limewire and Bearshare and none of those programs have this song! can someone email it to me please!?
Amazing. got to love them got to love them got to love them. Sparta...Engine Down...Sparta...Engine Down... *sigh* I love Sparta, just wish Engine Down was still together =[
Love the song, love the album, love the band. So glad I got to see them live the one time I did. Met Keeley and he was super nice. (Met Maura as well, since Bella Lea/Ambulette was opening.)
this band means so much for me..and Im kinda metal head..hehehe..
but I freaking adore this fucking lovely music..forever engine down..

Seriously, you are a punk...and I don't mean that in a social-circle, self-defining good way. Not "Punk Rock", but punkass.
Do your homework, punkass...you are definitely a square poser that may single-handedly keep Hot Topic in business.
Thanks for the "fegg" too, bigot. Very punk rock of you. Very. (/end sarcasm)
