If you have not heard this, I suggest you do so.
This is Tim assembling the exact vision of where he was at this time. Much of it was written and recorded way before this compilation and many songs show up on previous compilations. All The Days, was written soon after 9/11/2001 which Tim somehow foreshadowed.
Buckle up and meet Dilbert and his crown of thorns. This is not to slick for college radio. It’s chock full of distorted guitar, disjointed overlayed vocals, melodies that rarely go where you expect, dark self deprecating lyrics and the ominous feeling that our friend Tim was on a sinking ship.
Welcome to the smooth stylings of T. Bacharabab. Take a chance at Happiness. Experience all the 7 Wonders. Don’t fall down… baby. Telephone your lover and experience the sweet life.
I guarantee you will enjoy this compilation. Very well produced and chock-full of down-tempo songs with memorable melodies, memories, tragedy,orchestrations and beautifully bizarre transitions. Sorry… I don’t know who plays on this.
This is the last time Mouse was willing to contribute to the Train and delivered in a big way to this one… however he decided to go falsetto-transgender in a lovely floral dress and auburn wig. I’m sure (s)he had a name and maybe Mouse can add more info…
Dale Wanted to be heard. Through his music he expresses everything from pain and hatred to pain and nausea and it is beautiful. Very rarely did he write about hope or happiness but each song had such heartfelt sentiment that it is hard to seperate the pain from the act of creativity.

My personal favorite. I loved this when we recorded it, but more important—I love it even more now that it (I) have matured. I think this is the most cohesive album the Train has ever released in that it is a complete journey.
A Western Front’s loudest release, featuring Full Blown Sound (R), was largely inspired by the 18th century poem of the same name. The poem has been attributed to Sir Thomas Rampling Cluxton, who founded a utopian colony on the Greek island of Bathos in 1793.
The King is Dead, Long Live the King by A Western Front was the first album released by Quagmire in 1992. It marked the beginning of the new “in-sound”. This was not AWF’s first album, but it was their most twinkly to date, which accounts for something.

Is there a chance we’d stoop so lo? This is the first TSTITW compilation to ever reach CD. This features more Mouse songs than Bab but from a time perspective Bab wins with the epic “The Motown Proverbs” at a whopping 26.1min. A Tribute to Father Earl in the stylings of Joni Mitchell’s Paprika Plains.
