Talk:Finished With Lies

I don't know why, but this reminds me of The Statue Got Me High. -J2

Reminds me of Narrow Your Eyes...not sure why either... -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 21:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Well I guess, in the slow version, the line "finished with lieies" does come off in the same was as "narrow your eyeeeees." But I can't say I see the similarity to Statue.... ~ magbatz 02:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

When I first heard this it reminded me of I Palindrome I. -- Buzzmusic100 ("Keep your voice down...")

I gotta say, I think the slow version was a million times better than the fast one. I think I understand why they felt it needed changing, but the slow version actually has power and feeling behind it. The album version doesn't seem as though they put much creativity into the arrangement.

That being said, if I was a professional musician I would hate it if my fans criticized my music based on the version that wasn't meant to be released. Sorry in advance, John and John. --Oddjob 20:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I totally 100% and emphatically agree with Oddjob... The slow, unreleased version is so so much better I can't even listen to the version on Mink Car for fear that I will get the 'wrong' tune in my head! I like the deliberate, obsessive pace of the original... it's like a madman's diary... the haunting vibraphone backing... and the use of the word 'love', which really puts the song over the top. On Mink car it just sounds like they are pounding it out, and it flat-out ruins what I loved about the original. --Nehushtan 16:50, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Really. Where can I hear it? -- Buzzmusic100 ("Keep your voice down...")

I'm referring to demo 1, which I guess is not offered anywhere... it's page has no download links or references. Demo 2 is great but the mood is very different, more of a march. --Nehushtan (talk) 00:42, 2 August 2019 (EDT)

I posted it on my Tumblr some time ago, and it's also available for download in a bundle of other miscellaneous post-Power of Dial-A-Song II stuff on my site. --Self Called Nowhere (talk) 16:15, 2 August 2019 (EDT)

Thanks! --Nehushtan (talk) 11:16, 3 August 2019 (EDT)

Some Demo

I just got hold of a demo of Finished With Lies through User:Oddjob. Apparently he got it off Clock Radio. It's slow and one semitone up from the Radio TMBG demo. I guess it's the demo? -- DidgeGuy (आ ज) 12:58, 5 November 2010

Check out Podcast 56 for the demo. Well worth looking into it! --MisterMe 15:14, 15 May 2012 (EDT)
