Review by Rahul Mohandas
Tales Of Instant Knowledge And Sure Death by Idiot Flesh is a unique and eclectic album that showcases the band's experimental approach to music. The album is a collection of 13 tracks that blend various genres such as avant-garde, progressive rock, jazz, and metal.
From the opening track "The Nothing Show," the band sets the tone for the album with its quirky and unpredictable sound. The use of unconventional instruments such as accordion and saxophone adds to the album's distinctiveness. The album also features intricate time signatures and complex arrangements that showcase the band's technical prowess.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Assassin's Fate," which features a haunting melody and a haunting vocal performance by Nils Frykdahl. The track builds to a frenzied climax that perfectly captures the intensity of the lyrics.

MY FAV BAND
yusufergun2000
Give me something...
Give me something I can use
Give me something...
Give me something to say
Wake up!
You're empty here
I don't believe you anymore
You had so much to say
And left me holding up the floor
Just talk about something you think about
Or that would be okay
It doesn't have to be anything
{Well, it could be nothing}
Just as long as it doesn't stay that way
Waiting, waiting...
Waiting for a song
Waiting for these hands to tell me
Why this always takes so long
And it's easy to criticize
And it's easier to laugh than cry
And it's easy to do it all again
But I don't know what to say to make you see the sun
The same sun
Shining down on me alright
Shining down on you all wrong
Waiting for all this...
To give me Something
Give me something I can use
Give me something...
Give me something to say
Be clever, be absurd
Don't hold your tongue-in-cheek smile for too long
Said life is cool
Don't let 'em suspect
To get it wrong
Chew on broken glass
Let the pain feed your song
Scream bloody revolution
Cause something's got to change
It can't be you, so tear it down, son
Leave 'em wide open
And Look around
Brothers and sisters
Ride in glory
See what you have built
I guess it's alright
We hold our hands
Just use up our common ground
Waiting to make a stand
We hold our devils down
And it's easy to criticize
And it's easier to laugh than cry
And it's easy to do it all again
But I don't know what to say to make you see the sun
The same sun
Shining down on me alright
Shining down on you all wrong
Just give me
Something
Give me something I can use
Give me something...
Give me something to say
Wake up!
Give me something I can use
Give me something...
Give me something to say
Wake up!
You're empty here
I don't believe you anymore

Possibly the most underrated avant prog project of the past at least the past 25 years. No one still seems to understand how intricatice, melodic, and unique this early version of idiot flesh happened to be. And I appreciate every last detail, I hope one day everyone can easily understand it as well

Most underrated band of all time? I think so. Would kill to be able to have seen them live. SGM was great enough but I heard Idiot Flesh was even better/crazier.

I just received my copy of this Vinyl in the mail; it even came with the inner print with some of the lyrics and whatnot. I could get you the lyrics for your description if you'd like. Just message me and let me know.

that is some seriously funky shit

I've had this on vinyl since it came out. Probably have listened to it more than a hundred times or more. When Nils gave it to me (yes he gave it to me that's how cool he is) I never would have guessed how it would change my life and perception of music. Thanks ya Idiots!

This is the first song that got me into Idiot Flesh. Now I'm obsessed with this band..
I can't count how many times I've listened to this now and everytime I always hear something new.
Thanks for uploading this!
