It included a staple of the duo's live shows, "Frankie Teardrop," a 10-minute song with a relentless two-note keyboard line and a hissing electronic beat about a desperate factory worker who kills his wife and child.

In that world, this virus doesn't exist, and all of my friends are there in the flesh, sweaty, smiling, yelling over the beat about our terrible decisions, about guys, and about how we have to stay for one more song.

He also has a budding penchant for murdering Jay on his own beats, which, well, you might argue he does that here, although I find it hard to claim that Jay Z didn't do this beat about as dirty as one can.

It has its rough edges, but there's something hard to beat about a good-hearted kid discovering the excesses of money and power, while those who have the money and power discover just how much they have in common with the new kid.

Anxiety around spoilers played into an inherent belief many of us have that a virgin viewing experience is preferable; it gave filmmakers and showrunners a drum to beat about preserving their surprises; and it gave studios another way to subtly insinuate that you should see that movie or TV show right now.

Unlike Ferreira's later work, her first EP was heavily pop-centric, relying mostly on synthesizers and electronic drums, with no acoustic instruments. On the opening track "Sex Rules", Ferreira sings over a 1980s pop-style beat about sexual liberation, instructing the listener to "Use your god-given tools". "Traces" is a slower ballad produced by Colin Monroe and co-written by English artist Neon Hitch. It contains a dark piano melody, with subtle strings hidden behind robotic dubstep whines and beats.

Hard Hats is the second studio album by Phil Beer, released in 1994, some 15–16 years after his previous solo album, Mandoline, though between those years he had worked on other albums with Paul Downes amongst other artists. Being released around the same time as Beat about the Bush by Show of Hands, this album has a rocky edge to it, and was released on CD and cassette. Allmusic rated the album (mistakenably titled as Hard Cats) 2/5 stars but did not give a review.

He was criticised by some for being unduly negative about current players and for glorifying cricket "in my day". He once remarked, amusingly without any sense of irony: "We didn't have metaphors in my day. We didn't beat about the bush".Tibballs, G. (2007), The Bowler's Holding, the Batsman's Willey, Haydock, Ebury Press, Trueman was nevertheless respected for his unsurpassed knowledge of the mechanics of fast bowling, and many feel he should have been used as a bowling coach for England's under-achieving teams of the 1980s and 1990s, a point once emphasised by his fellow-summariser Trevor Bailey on Test Match Special.

The next track, "Dead Ringer", is a short hardcore song that chastises those who felt that the band had sold out due to their growing popularity. Jo-Ann Greene of AllMusic believes that "Halfway There" is about the need for a real leader and questioning the current leaders' action, bolstered by McIlrath's screaming vocals. The fifth track, "Like the Angel", begins with strumming of the bass guitar, before transitioning into a "poppy" beat about unrequited love. "Voices Off Camera:" is one of the more accessible songs on the album, with McIlrath singing in a softer voice.

Consistently driving quickly is hard work on the fast and smooth circuit. The first turn, modified from its original rounded shape into a sharp 90-degree left, is a frequent source of multi-car accidents especially on the first lap, as a popular YouTube video of a touring race illustrates this case, with former BTCC driver-turned commentator John Cleland remarking that, "The guy who designed this first corner should be taken into a dark room and beat about the head" . There are many key turns to master for a fast lap. The end of the finish straight is the fastest spot on the circuit.

Chavis made his first recording in 1954, "Paper in My Shoe," based on a song he heard performed by Creole accordionist Ambrose "Potato" Sam. Chavis's version was an uptempo tune with a dance beat about being too poor to afford new shoes or socks, so he placed paper in his shoes to keep his feet warm when the holes in the sole got too large. The song, sung in both French and English, was originally released on the Folk-Star label, a subsidiary of Goldband, before being reissued by Imperial Records. This recording was the first commercially released zydeco song and the first zydeco hit, and was subsequently acknowledged as a zydeco standard.

"Devil Pray" has been described as a "moody mid-tempo semi-acoustic pop", techno-folk, "lite-EDM" and "acoustic guitar-with-electro-cowboy" song with a "woozy" house beat about overcoming addiction, with a more "country-tinged" and "folksy" style in comparison to other tracks on the album. Critics found similarities between the song and Madonna's own single "Don't Tell Me" (2000) for its "country-pop elements" and the traditional folk song "The House of the Rising Sun", due to its "bluesy-vibe". "Devil Pray" brings Madonna "as a devoted disciple, drawn to a darker kind of prayer", as noted by The Quietus Amy Pettifer, and its story deals with sin, temptation and deliverance. The song starts with hand claps and guitar, "whose country edge is [...] characteristic of Swedish producer Avicii's own output", claimed Pettifer.

However, Julia had long indulged in a self-destructive lifestyle of excessive drug consumption, and it had begun to affect her work. François Truffaut, one of French cinema's most iconic directors and a star of Close Encounters (playing "Claude Lacombe", a French government scientist in charge of UFO-related activities in the United States), blamed her for that film's budget difficulties, and she was eventually fired during post-production because of her cocaine dependence. Phillips, by now divorced, spent the following years on a downward spiral which included, by her own account, spending $120,000 on cocaine, before entering therapy to recover from her addiction. Then, in 1988, having been out of Hollywood for eleven years, she sold all her assets to produce The Beat, about a kid in a tough neighbourhood trying to teach poetry to local gangs.

Including filmmakers, producers, former Ministers of Culture and their drivers. Some pretend to be sincere, but beat about the bush, others pour ashes on their head. Only one thing is obvious - their versions differ. Truck drivers, who were carting the stolen equipment away from Koliba, make hints but are afraid to say more. Yes, she has truth at heart, this is true, but the film is to be decent and shall harm no one (...)” Krekovič is not happy with the result, perhaps. At least he says, “If somebody has awaited an investigative report, he will be disappointed.” But then he poses a remarkable question: Is the way Piussi proceeds the result of her “helplessness” or does it indicate a “method?” He quotes Piussi: “"I'm not the type disposed to 'poke', in such cases," she confessed to the magazine Film.sk.” Krekovič continues, “Whether this is helplessness or method, is difficult to discern.

Following the album's release, Phil Beer left The Albion Band, allowing Show of Hands to become a full-time musical partnership.Roots liner notes They subsequently recorded one final cassette-only album, 1991's Out for the Count, but before they released their first studio CD, release, 1994's Beat about the Bush, they would form the Anglo-Chilean band Alianza for one album in 1992, and record a Show of Hands live performance in 1992 for released in 1994 as Show of Hands Live. Along with Show of Hands and Out for the Count, Tall Ships never returned to print after its original run in 1990. To keep the availability of music from the cassettes that the band likes most, on their newly established own label Hands on Music, they released a compilation album in 1995 of the name Backlog 1987–1991, which features highlights of the three cassette albums, including three of the six tracks from Tall Ships.

The songs re-recorded were originally composed and recorded between 1992–2003, with Worldmusic.co.uk saying the album "features fresh versions of songs that rarely reach the current concert set lists."

"The Bristol Slaver" had featured on Dark Fields (1997) alongside the third track, "High Germany". Re-recorded material from the band's first CD album, Beat about the Bush (1994), was placed on the first disc consecutively with "Captains", "The Oak" and "Armadas" appearing as the fourth to sixth tracks. The second disc features a re-recording of the duo's first single, "Crazy Boy", released from Dark Fields (1997). The disc also features three live songs from the "house concert", namely "Cut-throats, Crooks and Con-men", "Man of War" and "Unlock Me".
