End Is Forever

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:Album infobox

End Is Forever is the third full release on Kung-Fu Records by The Ataris in 2001. Along with Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits, End Is Forever is usually considered one of the best albums by The Ataris. The album would be the most recent to feature simple lyrics that feature "teenage" emotions played over catchy pop rhythms. Its follow up, So Long, Astoria would feature more mature lyrics and a slightly more "mainstream" rock style.

Trivia

  • The title of the fifth track on the album is a list of the buttons needed to be pressed on a Nintendo Entertainment System controller to activate the Konami Code.
  • "If You Really Want to Hear About It" is largely inspired by Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. The title of the track is borrowed directly from the novel's first sentence. The last lyrics in the song are: "Don't ever tell anyone anything or else you'll wind up missing everybody". This closely resembles the last lines of the novel, (which read as: "Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."
  • "Song #13" was featured in the video game Aggressive Inline (although it was mistitled as "Track 13").
  • The Ataris were the inspiration for an independent film in 2003, also titled "End is Forever". The movie was written, produced and directed by Adam Johnson and has a brief photograph cameo of Kris Roe with the director.Template:2000s-rock-album-stub
