BulletBoys - ZA ZA

[Wild Obsession]

BulletBoys 3rd album ZA ZA (1993)

Not any "hits", but IMO, their most consistent album. Aside from the throwaway semi-instrumental track "The Rising", there is not a bad song on ZA ZA.

Bulletboys: "Mine"

Marq is one of the great singers and BulleyBoys were musically a world-class rock band - shame they could never get out of their own way.

I've always LOVED the song "Laughing with the Dead" off this record. Great lyrics.

Stuck between the thirst of too little
And the abyss of too much
A blast from a tower and a thirty day ride
I need a shot with a punch

Skeletons dancing in a jittery daze
With a sparkling gleam in their eyes
Above apologizing for our devious ways
I've taken a word from the wise

I don't need nasty
I don't need nice
I won't heed your self-serving advice
While you're weeping over wounds in your head
I'm here laughing with the dead
Quiero tequila!
Where's my beer?
Unbutton my peyote now it's crystal clear
When ya'll get over fucking with your head
I'll be laughing with the dead

I prefer Freakshow over Za Za....but not by much. Probably because Za Za clocks in at about 29 minutes. But honestly, I'd go for either of those before the debut when listening to BBs.

Ridiculously short album - almost EP level. I remember hearing "Laughing With the Dead" on Z-Rock radio.

That song is KILLER! I wish it was longer, seems like a bit incomplete to me, but it's got a great emotional melody

37 minutes, actually.
