Todays music isn't very original anymore.

Then Midnight Oil is copying, Iron Maiden is copying and any number of popular musical acts... Not to mention television, radio, books.
Believe what you want, but its not 'copying'. Its 're-using... for the billionth time'.

re-using it, is copying it :P
Nevertheless, its only likin park, they screwed up when they teamed up with a rapper. so i dont expect much originality or quality music.
I do agree with knight though :P plenty of other words in the english language. the first thing i thought of when i saw that was Iron maiden. and was like, wtf its been out for decades?

They're copying a popular phrase, but they're not copying Iron Maiden - is kinda what I was getting at. And so what if they're making reference to the Doomsday Clock? They're not the first, yeh... but they certainly won't be the last.

Quote:
In music
* The Doomsday Clock is alluded to throughout "2 Minutes to Midnight", a single from Iron Maiden's album Powerslave.
* The song "Def. Con. One." by the band Pop Will Eat Itself includes the lyric "Ten to doomsday, moving fast... Heads up! Mind that blast. No time to sleep, it's Def. Con. One. Can't get no sleep as the ticking ticks on."
* The song "Why Did I Fall For That" by The Who has the lines "Four minutes to midnight on a sunny day/Maybe if we smile the clock'll fade away/Maybe we can force the hands to just reverse/'Maybe' is a word, maybe 'maybe's' a curse... We simply believe that we'd remain intact/But history is asking why did you fall for that."
* The song "Easy/Lucky/Free" by Bright Eyes contains the lyrics, "I set my watch to the atomic clock. I hear the crowd count down 'til the bomb gets dropped. I always figured there'd be time enough; I never let it get me down."
* The Doomsday Clock is directly mentioned in the Ozzy Osbourne song "Thank God for the Bomb" on the album The Ultimate Sin. It is, however, cited in a manner that is inconsistent with the clock's purpose. "The face of the doomsday clock / Has launched a thousand wars / As we near the final hour / Time is the only foe we have."
* Australian band Midnight Oil discuss the Doomsday Clock and the threat of nuclear war in their song "Minutes to Midnight" from the album Red Sails in the Sunset. The album cover depicted the disturbing scene of the city of Sydney after a fictional nuclear attack.
* "Midnight in a Perfect World" by DJ Shadow, featuring Gift of Gab (from group Blackalicious), alludes to nuclear war and that we are "now approaching midnight", especially in the full lyrical "Gab Mix" off the Endtroducing..... reissue from 2005.
* The song "Five Minutes to Midnight" by Boys Like Girls may be a reference to the Doomsday Clock.
* On the cover of American band Alive's album 11:59, the Trinity test's rising fireball can be seen with the text "It's later than we thought..." written at the bottom.
* Chaos Theory by Jumpsteady makes mention of the Doomsday Clock in the opening song "Outcha Mouth", saying "I'm the last second, sound of doomsday clock, like an open box of anthrax...".
* Industrial band Funker Vogt refers heavily to the Doomsday Clock during the chorus of their track "History", a single from the album Survivor, which follows the themes of apocalyptic warfare. Specifically with the lines "The war will soon begin. It's already ten to twelve".
* In the music video for "Russians" by Sting, the Doomsday Clock is represented by the clock ticking over the main doorway.
* In ABC's music video "S.O.S", the Doomsday Clock was used as the main theme throughout the video.
* Linkin Park's album Minutes to Midnight is said to be a reference to the Doomsday Clock.[4]
* Zeitgeist, an upcoming Smashing Pumpkins album, includes a song entitled "Doomsday Clock".
And for the record, both the oil's and iron maiden release their songs at about the same time (later half of 1984), so no copying on their behalf.

OD with the smack down :p

Noone is copying anyone. So, Maiden and the Oil's used the phrase 20 years ago... how does that detract from the fact that they weren't original in using it, considering where it comes from.
If LP is copying, then anyone that uses any popular term or reference to anything... is copying. Catch phrase, anyone?

The last time I looked, "Turtlearse Cocknose" wasn't being used.
Post 21

I know most of you are still saying its going to be a bad album,but im gonna wait till there is a legal copy of the cd in my dvd player :P lol.Evan if the album flops they will be back bigger and loudier next time.
those cyphers on the net are great for us who are going nuts waiting lol.
