Every time I cut the lawn I grab my ipod and pick something to listen to. Its not always full albums, but on occasion while my ipod is on shuffle I'll hear a song I really like and decide to listen to the whole album. Todays album is.....


"There Will Be Blood Tonight" – 3:56
"Hell Is for Heroes" – 5:11
"Deal with the Devil" – 3:45
"Zanzibar" – 6:26
"Lovin' You Is Murder" – 3:44
"We Only Come Out of Night" – 4:34
"Generation Landslide" (Alice Cooper Cover) – 4:44
"The World Is Mine" – 4:56
"State of Pain" – 2:56
"(This Ain't) the Summer of Love" (Blue Oyster Cult Cover) – 3:46
"Believe" – 5:19

I bought this a year or 2 ago. I never really gave it a listen. I really liked "Appointment With Death" and yesturday I was reading something about Lizzy Borden and people were saying how they liked "Deal With The Devil" more. I decided to give it a go today and see. After listening to it, I think I might have to agree. All the songs on this album really seem to flow pretty well into each other and the album is pretty consistent from one song to the next. The only time it sort of falls apart is the Alice Cooper Cover of "Generation Landslide", which isn't horribly bad but it just doesn't have with the original has and it seems kind of rushed. The other cover of the Blue Oyster Cult song "This Ain't The Summer Of Love" on the other hand I thought was done really well.

So in all this is a great album. I wish I would have listened to it sooner.

I give it out of 5 head banging Eddies.

Anyone else have thoughts on this album?

Vol. 2 updated next lawn cutting.

I forgot to add that I think this is one of Lizzy's best vocal performances. Sometimes he goes a little over board with the off key backups and they don't always work. This album I think he did it perfect.

Great album. Hugely underrated IMO.

I can't cut the lawn without the ipod. My lawn cutting this weekend was to Primal Fear - Before The Devil Knows You're Dead.

One day I was doing the eliptic at the gym and decided I was going to play some Lizzie Borden. I thought I had selected Visual Lies but I had actually clicked on Deal With The Devil. I'll admit I had completely forgotten I even had that album much less it being on my ipod. Needless to it has gotten constant plays since. I might even go as far to say it's my favorite Lizzy Borden. I like both covers and have thought about getting the Japanese version with the Scorpions cover as the bonus track.

I dont listen to music when i cut the lawn - i would cut off a limb or something if i did...

I listen to whatever I feel like listening to at the moment when someone else is cutting my lawn.

Have only run over the cord once. The worst is the neighbor guy who sneaks up and is suddenly standing there. And he has no conception to the idea that between the mower and headphones I can't hear him talking at me. It's annoying and creepy.

there are plenty more:

Love Lizzy Borden!!! I have only picked up "Visual Lies" and an EP thus far though.

I'll have to check into that album.

When I listen to something doing the lawn, it varies. I hate doing the lawn but that's only because of the 100+ degree weather and over 90% humidity. I try to do it in the morning while it's in the mid to high 80s or high 90s in the evening but it's still freakin hot and humid. If it wasn't for how difficult it would be and the noise laws I'd do it after dark.

Great album! It's one of Lizzy's stronger efforts and I like it better than Appointment With Death.

I mow my lawn with a pair of these on: http://www.srstactical.com/communications/electronic-ambient-listening-headsets/msa-sordin-supreme-pro*x,-black/75302*x*02.html

I patch my ipod in using the aux jack. Makes the time fly by and also protects my hearing.

I used to bing my mp3-player whenever I cut the lawn. But I never put full albums on it, just random tracks. These days I cut the lawn sans music, as the lawmover I have now is faster, and my daughter nicked my mp3-player.

This thread made me put on Lizzy Borden's "Visual Lies". I don't own .Deal With The Devil'.

Bought Deal With The Devil as a new release. Loved it then,love it now. Great stuff !

And I too listen to my ipod while cutting the lawn.It doesn't really get in the way on a riding mower and makes the 2 hour job go by a little quicker.

Would you stop putting a turd in yesterday!

My lawn is small enough that mowing it only takes 10 minutes each (front and back), which isn't enough time to listen to anything....

I used to mow my lawn when I lived in New Mexico - but I don't do that anymore now that I'm in AZ.
