Ultimate nihilistic love
Generation Terrorists has plenty of production problems but nowhere are they as apparent as on Tennessee. Hell, it sounds so bad and muddy that it makes the rest of Generation Terrorists sound great.
Not that it would have much to listen anyway. Tennessee’s a run of the mill song, one of the skip points of Generation Terrorists. Not bad per se, just completely unremarkable. The backing vocals are a good touch though.
The original version found on the Suicide Alley single, Tennessee (I Get Low), is pretty much the same but with a much faster tempo, different lyrics and even shittier sounds. Not much of a curiosity.
The Tennessee in question is Tennessee Williams, a writer. Not the American place.

Was reading through your entries while listening to the GT reissue – I feel like they definitely fixed most of the production issues with the remaster. (Although Tennessee STILL sounds muddier than the rest of it, did they drop the tape in something?) Worth picking up if you haven’t already.
I’ve picked it up aye, it’s great. I’ve been meaning to get into updating the entries here with some new thoughts brought by the reissue, but life’s been hectic and I’ve been a bit too busy for it. Will get around to it soon.
Thanks for your interest towards the blog!
