Pyretta Blaze is yet another love or relationship song, but it's one of the easiest the band has recorded, in terms of its delivery. The happier songs: perhaps Creepy Green Light and All Hallows Eve don't sound as happy as their titles may suggest, but I'm only referencing the music when you hear those beautiful bass lines and the natural harmonics, while the guitar and keyboards add more energy to these songs and the atmosphere isn't as cruel, but beautiful. I would also say the guitar riffs on the title track's bridge is what gave me this rude awakening in my childhood. The keyboards are more experimental and organic, with much more developed samples - which unlike the predecessors respectfully, they capture more of the atmosphere in this album. The bass pretty much riffs more than the guitar, yet the guitar's slow melodies and solos can send chills down your spine.
What's common about these five songs musically, is the overwhelming, slow, deep and hard distortion. Perhaps a nihilistic approach, but I believe it's simply the idea of losing the meaning of life. The title track has to do with one's life as they see it in a worldview, coming down. The lyrics sound very creative and metaphoric, where Peter chose some interesting words and the meaning behind it has to do with one's sanity and the world that revolves around them.
Who Will Save the Sane? is a very underrated track. In World Coming Down, these two songs are based on the loss of family (though the former is more general that can mean anyone outside of family). As before, the title of the song Bloody Kisses (A Death in the Family) revolves around the same theme, but it's actually a whole, long metaphor based on Peter's cat at the time, Venus. Everyone I Love Is Dead and Everything Dies are pretty identical when it comes to their meanings. Since the metaphor behind it is too strong and didn't turn out to be the case, it's loosely based on Peter's past coke addiction. The depressive songs: I bet when you read White Slavery for the first time, you've probably thought it'd be a new and returning political theme of the band. This, of course, includes The Beatles medley, despite not being an original track. Despite its depressive nature, however, three of the eight original tracks Creepy Green Light, Pyretta Blaze, and All Hallows Eve contemplate for a more "happier" feeling towards the album on all aspects. That being said, you're left with eight original tracks and the ninth and final track being The Beatles medley of the songs Day Tripper (serving as the title of the medley and is also reprised), If I Needed Someone, and I Want You (She's So Heavy). As I said, despite no musical substance, these interludes still have a purpose for the album's concept and therefore are not to be eliminated. The following three interludes serve as three potential causes of death and respectively titled after organs: Sinus serves as the cause of death by cocaine addiction, Liver serves as alcohol abuse (which unfortunately enough, I gather that was part of Peter's demise), and Lung serves as the bad habit of smoking. A bugged track which at the end has Kenny saying "sucker!".
The prelude, Skip It is meant for the humorous purpose the band always maintained, despite the forthcoming songs and their aforementioned nature. Speaking of maturity, you can consider the beautiful, green landscape of the Brooklyn Bridge to be just that because unlike the rest of the band's album covers where they vary from ridiculous sex reference and goth girls to simple art designs, this album's cover speaks volumes.Īlthough no musical substance, the band once again recorded four fillers almost exactly to that of Bloody Kisses, however pretty meaningful to the album's concept. And, the distorted, sad, and depressive atmosphere of this album is longing for bad habits created within the music, meaning it's their hardest record when emotions are invested. Considerably, its catalog contains a lot of underrated material which due to the album's nature, the band or Peter personally never truly pushed, like their gothic predecessors. It's tied with October Rust as their maturest records, albeit the doom metal factor. World Coming Down is the band's opus magnum for the following reasons: it's an essential success to the band's doom metal style from their debut album, Slow, Deep and Hard. Returning to their doom metal form, only taking what was made from their debut album to a whole new level. My personal affliction isn't relevant to the actual masterpiece in question, but why it inspired me so much in life for the music the band wrote. Two months late, but it's better later than never - and eventually I'll have that bastard under my skin.

I was originally going to get this album tattooed just one month before the 20th anniversary, and by that time on September 21st, I would have it done - plus end up with this review ready for approval.
