Live Album
An album is a collection of audio recordings (e.g., music) issued on a medium such as compact disc (CD), vinyl (record), audio tape (like 8-track or cassette), or digital. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records (78s) collected in a bound book resembling a photo album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl long-playing (LP) records played at rpm. The album was the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption from the mid-1960s to the early 21st century, a period known as the '' album era''. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though album sales in the 21st-century have mostly focused on CD and MP3 formats. The 8-track tape was the first tape format widely used alongside vinyl from 1965 until being phased out by 1983, being gradually supplanted by the cassette tape throughout the 1970s and early 1980s; the popularity of the cassette reached its peak during the late 1980s before shar ...

The song is therefore a retort to people who tell embellished stories to make themselves appear better than the person they are in conversation with.

The word "fuck" appeared in the first line of the song and the word “cunt” is used four times throughout the song. The song has subsequently been appended to various CD reissues of the ''We Are... The League'' album and has bec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
