Yeah, the whole "Angel Dust" album was quite a step up from rapping in a nasally voice - it's generally just quite spectacular. "KIndergarten" and their cover of "Easy" are highlights as well.

Best track was most definately Everything's Ruined. Pure class.

Yeah I totally agree, the chanting "Now everything's ruined, yeah" is just fantastic.

I'm just pissed off that I missed the chance to see them live. Be Aggressive must've been awesome.

That is a pretty sweet fuckin' song. I saw the phrase "does emotional music have an effect on you?" on a mental wellness questionnaire once, and I immediately started snickering to myself thinking about "Land of Sunshine." I was sorely disappointed when "here's how to order" didn't also make an appearance.

Haha! How cool. Mike Patton didn't even write the lyrics, he just wrote down random things he saw in newspapers and also a Scientology questionnaire, so you may have the same readin as Mr. Patton :)

I'm still waiting to get the "when all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed" fortune cookie. That phrase is repeated over and over at the end of "Man That You Fear" by Marilyn Manson. Apparently he totally ganked it from a cookie.

The only time I had a fortune cookie, it said something along the lines of "Always smile, because you never know who's watching you" which seemed to be a bit more Orwellian than anything, and mad eme realise that my paranoia is well founded.
