  B ack with part 2 of Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum.  I'm back to Liar again.  I must have listened to this one 5 times today.  It's so achingly beautiful I keep going back again.  The lyrics and Shaun's interpretation of the lyrics get me every time. Sorry to repeat myself.  I left off with Let It Go.  I've listened to this one several more times and like it more with more familiarity.  That first line, "Float down that river of blood you made when you stabbed me in the back"  Damn, tell me how you really feel.  Let It Go is about not letting it go. With a little dollop of hopelessness and a side of hostility. 9) Failure . Brilliant lyrics.  The music has an underlying muddiness, a rumbling, feedback-y sound that goes with what is being sung.  This is exactly how feeling this way feels like.  Cuts sort of close to home, to be honest. 10) Beg .  Oh, yes the Motherfucker song!  O.K.  Scary lyrics on the one hand....

  A fter I listened through Isolate and Medicate for the week, I was really wanting to hear more new music so I choose Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum.  This is the back cover: I listened to this album cold, not having heard any of the songs before except the acoustic version of Dangerous posted on You Tube.  [ https://youtu.be/tCmBhd7bqJ8 ]. I do love the acoustic version because of the music but also because I can see how the instruments are played.  I watch the show, "How It's Made" which shows the manufacture of different things such as Crayons, Chocolate, Guitar Strings and just about everything else you can think of.  How people do their jobs is also very interesting.  A job that looks simple is much more complex that it seems from the outside. Shaun and Corey playing the guitars is most familiar to me, since I play the guitar [home version only].  Dale's bass looks somewhat familiar, but I have little frame of reference for drums.  Now John is not...
