i'm very very addicted to peace attack right now. i didn't like this song too much as i was listening to sonic nurse album (one of my favs btw). but it's really great! nice vox by thurston, nice guitars. the meaning of beautiful is closed in 6:12.
----- did they play this song ever live !? |

It has been played live 23 times between 2003 and 2004 according to Chris Lawrence's Concert Chronology, which you should always "consult" before asking this kind of questions on here .

I agree, for me i get an intense feeling of nostalgia when I listen to it, but the nostalgia isn't really in reference to any memories I can think of. wierd.
one of my fave SY songs for sure. |

I think this song is highly underrated. Sure one of my favourites on Nurse.

Strange that everyone is praising it now. I heard a lot of bad things said about it last time I bought it up.

Maybe because it has grown on some people. This wasn't an instant favourite from SN for me, but it kept growing on me.

Don't like at all, one off the worst since the begining for me... When I listen to it after such beautiful songs as dude ranch nurse, stones or paper cup I feel it annoying and too long. I don't really get in the way Thurston sings it, too much effects in his voice...
but if u people like it... you may be right |

Peace Attack is like the ghost of Murray Street. I remember it being one of the first songs written for Sonic Nurse. Thurston blogged that he just wanted to release it to the world and not have to wait until the album came out.
The solo is so beautiful, the harmonics... everything about it. Seems alot more hippy-happy then the rest of the stuff on Sonic Nurse. Definitely one of my top 3 Sonic songs since 2000. |

I love the peace attack video - it fits the quiet peacefulness of the song like a glove!
