Ok.. not often I get excited about a band coming out with a second album, but considering how strong (and original) their first album was I was skeptical that Billy Talent would be able to pull off a second album.
Until I heard their new release.. Devil in a Midnight Mass.. not many singles are worthy enough for me to hit up iTunes for the song, but damn! it could be an instant classic.
can't wait for the album to come out...
Loved their first CD. The Ex is the best breakup song ever. B)
They were awesome in concert. Can't wait to get a copy of the new CD.
Well guess I'm gonna have to go download this now. Their first CD was awesome. And if what you guys say is true, i'm glad they avoided that 2nd CD jinx alot of bands seem to get.
Edit: Ok after downloading it, you guys are right. This is an awesome song. Nice to see they haven't changed they're sound too much. Still sounds like Billy Talent. I hate when bands try to become something they're not on the 2nd CD.
Would either of you guys mind putting up a link? Trying my darndest to get a copy.
I got my copy from limewire. If worst came to worst, I can email it to ya.
wankers!

:lol:
Got my copy, thanks anyways.
Great tune.... can't wait to get the CD :D

This is not really a break up song, but kinda falls in the same category "Custom - Hey mister". I love hearing that song cause its sooooooooooo true.
Hey Mister is a classic in it's own right.. it's like stoner skater/surfer music...great stuff.
Now that I've actually listened to the lyrics of the song, I swear they're singing about Priests Touching little boys.
Quote:A devil in a midnight mass,
he prayed/preyed behind stained glass.
A memory of sunday class,
resurrected from the past.
Hold your breath then count to four.
Pinky swears don't work no more.
Footsteps down the hallway floor,
getting closer to my door.
I was alive, but now I'm singin'
[Chorus]
Silent night for the rest of my life.
Silent night for the rest of my life.
Violent night 'caught the edge of your knife.
(Forgive me father!) Won't make it right.
Silent night for the rest of my life.
Silent night 'caught the edge of your knife
A devil in a midnight mass
killed the boy inside the man
the holy water in his hands
can never wash away his sins.
Hold your breath then count to four.
Pinky swears don't work no more.
Put my trust in God that day
not the man that taugh this way
I was alive, but now I'm singin'
(chorus)
(YOUR GUILTY!)
(whispered) Whisper, whisper, don't make a sound.
Your bed is made and it's in the ground [x2]
(Screamed) Whisper, whisper, don't make a sound.
Your bed is made and it's in the ground [x4]
I wonder if Benjamin was touched as a little boy...
p.s. I have no idea why the lyrics of the song I hear are totally different than the lyrics that are posted to pretty much every website out there...
