*I was just thinking about this album the other day, with all the Sublime revives: I was reminded that my favorite song off of their s/t was "Seed", even though it was probably a bit rapey, precisely because all the tempo changes in the song remind of Red and King (itself a little bit of a creepy song)

King isn't creepy, it's sexy!

I remember reading something about how people thought it was about pedophilia back in the day. And Tanya tried to provide an explanation of what it was about--something about a young prince and trying the light the ocean from underneath--that I remember thinking even back then that was on the incoherent side

That is surprising!!!
I don't think I voted in this but I probably would have voted "Now They'll Sleep" and I'm surprised nobody else did.

the whole of Belly's catalogue is on Spotify. This may seem unnecessary given that they have an eighteen track Best Of based on two LPs and a collection of b-sides, but said Best Of is missing two of their greatest songs, namely the b-sides "Diamond Ribcage" and "Baby's Arm."

Wish I could track down a good rip of that live version of Judas My Heart - the clear vinyl of Seal My Fate sounds terrible.

That was always the ONLY track I was on the fence about but tbh it sounds better now

Can't get over how badass TD looks on that cover. She really brought something entirely new.

The last track on this album used to make me cry so hard
