Overview

Crimes is the fourth studio album by the American band The Blood Brothers, released on October 12, 2004, by V2 Records. It was the band's first major label album. Produced by John Goodmanson, the album was recorded in two months in the band's hometown of Seattle. Lyrical content Much of the lyrics for the album are a political reaction to the mass media and the military policy of the Bush administration, inspired heavily by the election year of 2004. "I thought the collective dissent of our generation would bring about positive change. When that didn't happen I felt like the bottom had fallen out," vocalist Jordan Blilie commented. "Feed Me to the Forest" is "a picture of the hyper-industrialized times we live in". "Trash Flavored Trash" is "about the emptiness of news media". "Teen Heat" is about the distribution company Artistdirect with whom the band was having difficulties at the time. "Celebrator" and "Devastator" are direct criticisms of the United States' military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. Track listing All songs written by The Blood Brothers. "Feed Me to the Forest" – 2:23 "Trash Flavored Trash" – 2:38 "Love Rhymes with Hideous Car Wreck" – 3:14 "Peacock Skeleton with Crooked Feathers" – 4:31 "Teen Heat" – 2:07 "Rats and Rats and Rats for Candy" – 3:52 "Crimes" – 4:00 "My First Kiss at the Public Execution" – 2:50 "Live at the Apocalypse Cabaret" – 3:12 "Beautiful Horses" – 1:47 "Wolf Party" – 3:28 "Celebrator" – 2:16 "Devastator" – 2:45

Notable quotes

“Society already understands that the criminal is not he who washes our dirty linen in public, but he who dirties the linen.”
— Vladimir Bukovsky (b.1932), Russian author. Stated on 5 January, 1972. Quoted in Radio Times magazine, 19 September, 1977.
“Crime is naught but misdirected energy. So long as every institution of today, economic, political, social, and moral, conspires to misdirect human energy into wrong channels; so long as most people are out of place doing the things they hate to do, living a life they loathe to live, crime will be inevitable, and all the laws on the statutes can only increase, but never do away with, crime.”
— Emma Goldman, "Anarchism, What it Really Stands For", Anarchism and Other Essays (1917).
“The prisoner is not the one who has committed a crime, but the one who clings to his crime and lives it over and over.”
— Henry Miller, Sexus, chapter 14 (1949).
“A man who has no excuse for crime, is indeed defenceless!”
— Edward Bulwer-Lytton, The Lady of Lyons, Act IV, scene 1.
“Qui non vetat peccare, cum possit, jubet.”
— He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it.
“The chief problem in any community cursed with crime is not the punishment of the criminal, but the preventing of the young from being trained to crime.”
— W. E. B. Du Bois, reported in Robert D. Ramsey, Well Said, Well Spoken (Corwin Press, 2001), p. 30. .
