wow, I can't beleive it's been that long..... that just make you stop & wonder where the time went.

it does really seem like yesterday when I picked up a copy. I got it the first day it came out. hehe, thats when they came to DC & I saw them live. ahhh..such good memories.

i still remember the fight I had in Sam Goody in our mall when the PM Dawn Video Collection. He swore i was wrong & it didn't come out. I dug & found it the day it came out....and was the only copy ever in the store......

I bought the single first, was hooked, bought the album and I was amazed. I used it so much, I scratched it up, found it in new orleans for a real good price, and re bought it...

its something that pretty much got overlooked in my opinion, its an album that is above whats out there right now, its definantly something that u meet on a higher level, in a sense that when u listen to those songs, You just really feel what the brotha was sayin.. I dunno.. its a beautiful edition to my playlists...

Broken and Untitled could be some of my all time favorite songs ever..

dearest christian brough my pm dawn fandom to whole nother level..i was just really feeling the lyrics on this one.. and the little sampling..and great musical breaks etc made it a different experience from the other albums.. the 2 traxs that i instantly liked were misery in utero and hale bopp regurgitations i used to put those on repeat

I got mine as a Christmas present. I didn't have my own money, I was still in HS, so most of my wants had to be put on birthday and Christmas lists.

When I discovered the existence of this album, it was a Sunday morning and I was waking up. As I lay in bed, I heard music. It sounded very poppy to me, so I knew it was the radio that was playing somewhere in the house. But, I knew that voice, and I instantly jumped up. I had to listen more closely, so I stood absolutely still and quiet. The more I heard, the more I thought "that HAS to be PM Dawn!!!" and sure enough, it was the Top 40 countdown and the DJ announced a PM Dawn song! I was psyched. Of course, it was Being So Not For You.
I was so glad to hear them, and especially to find they were getting Top 40 airplay!!!!

AHHHH those were the days. :)

Honestly, AT FIRST, I was disappointed because the album didn't seem to move as fast as Bliss or Wept, but the album grew on me, FAST!!!

When I listen to it, after "Carnivores" and "Misery", I'm just waiting for the "Broken" and "Untitled" songs, love the "Untitled"!! Once Be explained what Misery and Untitled were actually about, that added much more meaning to the songs for me. The whole album is DEEP.

(Wow, five years already!)

Yes, it IS deep, isn't it, Louis?

One might say RIDICULOUSLY deep. Lyric wise, anyway.

love

I fell in love with As Disappoing As your Mercy. I bought so many copies of the single, in case something happened I'd have extras, hehe. Its still my favorite song.

I even got a few imports of it that didn't have it on there. My old neighbor used to get mad because i would blast it in the apartment. The song just totally would take me into a trance, i love it.
