Colossal Spin

Stone, from 1996. This can only be described as a monster metal wall of sound. This song started out a joke for some university buddies back in ‘93 or ‘94, but by the time this version was recorded in 1996, the lyrics and music got together and made an all self-important baby that was probably one of the most “take-yourself-too-seriously” of all the Colossal Spin songs. 

Ironically, it makes very little sense to those outside the twisted head of Zurich. The object (both gender and nature) of the song changes several times throughout the lyrics, but one thing is clear: some people treat others badly and it sucks, but don’t let it get you down. 

We love the in-your-face Marshall stacks cranked up to 11 on this one. And Zurich’s vocals are in real fine form here. Classic Colossal Spin.
