Thank You For The Sideways Roses

I don't mean to belittle dEUS by comparing them to Radiohead or Beck. I really like dEUS, and think they have an artistic integrity that is difficult to match. So many ideas, most of them good ideas, packed into every song.

dEUS is one of those bands I believe could have been huge in a different world. Like Radiohead, but instead life didn't quite shake out in their direction. Instead, they're the biggest band ever outta Antwerp, with an extremely loyal fanbase in Europe and the respect of most critics. It'll do.

Sideways Suds & Soda Maneuver

This was dEUS' first hit single. It might also be their biggest.

1994.

There, but for the grace of God, goes Radiohead.

dEUS: In A Bar, Under The Sea: "Fell Off The Floor, Man" [mp3]

If Beck were a Belgian stoner, he'd probably make an album like this.

Flip-flopping it - If Tom Barman (leader of dEUS) were a Hollywood Scientologist, this might be Odelay.

All I know is the Post-Grunge 90's was a strange time for modern rock, and a whole bunch of white guys wanted to be funky.
