Quote from: DefFsho on Jun 29, 2026, 11:55 PMHas anyone ever or can anyone decipher or find someone to decipher what looks like Arabic writing in the Saturday night wrist artwork album jacket? 🤔 maybe there's something purposeful there. I've always wondered this and never thought to mention it. in my garage, I have that page hanging up with the baphomet or "satan" like being standing next to the other in the white cloak, next to the lake and trees. It's always been my favorite piece of art in their whole catalog along with "bandaged love". I just happen to be in the garage looking at it while listening to eros 

I vaguely remembered reading a Reddit thread about this a few years ago, and was able to find the thread again with a quick Google Search.

Someone answered in the thread:

Arabic speaker here, those are from the bible (i guess, I don't know which part) the translation is like this:

"Then the third angel breathed into his horn, and a great star fell from the sky as if it was a flame of fire, and fell on a third of the rivers and the water springs. And the name of this star is "Al-Jallem". So a third of the water became bitter like a suspension, and many people died because of the bitterness of the water"!?

A few other reddit users say that it is from the book of Revelations.

if you can upload a photo of it someone might be able to run it through a translator or try to make the letters more defined so it can be translated. i have SNW liners saved in my archives, but nothing like this

Holy shit! Unless I'm in the tallgrass here on this information because I don't visit here as much as I used to, wat h NOCTURNE'S video on YouTube. It was released today. He's got some messages going back-and-forth between buyers and sellers on this and it gets nasty also. It's the first I've seen it. I've been hearing about it, but he posted it in the video. This shit is wild. I'm still watching by the way.
It looks like the original buyer and seller going back-and-forth and the buyer gets a stern warning. People I've never heard of

Are all the other versions of "Brenda" and "Destiny" etc alternate vocal takes?

Do you think Cindy and Asia were scrapped for other strippers?😆 maybe there's a tiny chance there's a couple other songs or ideas recorded out there? Probably not. Those two strippers were probably renamed.

In the video, he shows Chino quoted as we seen back in the day as saying six songs were finished. I nailed it. I thought six were finished, but maybe eight because the other two I wasn't completely sure about bc something was missing.

"Nocturne" from youtube just posted an Eros video a cpl hrs ago. I haven't watched it yet, but the guy does pretty good work.

No way Germany got booted by Paraguay

I think it's just a case of my ears getting used to it. Now, certain parts like the feedback intro to Briana (which gives me the vibe it was a placeholder for something else) or the hot mic at the end of Margot are part of the experience.

I wonder how much Frank would've added with interludes, transitions and whatnot for the hypothetical final product, though.

It's cool to hear Chino's vocals on top of certain riffs. Some parts of Electra and Trempest would fit right in to KNY, but he had a totally different approach to them here-- more experimental and wild, especially Electra. As if he hadn't found the winning formula to match Steph's 8 string yet.

He also brought some Team Sleep into this. Margot is a type of song they'd never make post-DE, imo, and it reminds me a lot of Blvd. Nights.
