Some plot elements struck me as if the directors/writers played a lot of Metal Gear Solid. There's a secret installation/sea platform infiltration; the whole Project Insight Helicarriers of Doom thing reminded me of MGS2's Arsenal Gear with its G.W. AI and S3 system(Selection for Societal Sanity, although this movie's…

The Queens should show up next year and rock the snot out of the AV Club office for one of those AV Undercovers.

Looks like not even Ricky Chism could sell this one to the AV Club……like fsckin' clockwork, indeed.

You Stopped Worrying….And Learned To Love The Clock….
(cheesy, I know :) )

That's a good way to put it. The back half(after 'I Never Came') kind of feels like the come down from the relatively peppier start.

This record is nigh-flawless, straight on through to the hidden finale(which I like to take as an allusion/call back to the ending of 'R'.) This is the album that hooked me.

I feel ya.

Sure, sure, the last two albums kinda felt that way, but read just below, what Obnoxious Little Frog wrote. Hit the nail right on the head, he did.

This is a nice place to start:

Deutschland uber alles
Hahaha, that German guy's Spanish and Dutch parodies were spot on.
He has a point, the German language comes across as stiff and authoritarian to most non-Germans. I guess.
