Romance Language tackles some different ground for nerdcore. The main focus of the disc is an 11 song arc about romance, love and various other things in that vein. Musically, everything from classic hiphop to crunk to grimecore to ambient/hiphop fusion is in play, likely much to dismay of perspective listeners. Meanwhile, the bonus tracks feature some remastered rarities from the RhymeTorrents compilations, some remixes (or perhaps rather premixes) of songs that'll be featured on Opensource Lyricist and some songs that ultimately didn't fit the flow of Opensource Lyricist or the arc nor of Romance Language. It clocks in 20 tracks officially, though there might be a few hidden tracks too ;). It's 8 bucks including S&H. Critical Praise for Romance Language: "Karl Olson weaves a complex web of sense images in his work [...] you won't be disappointed." - Z, Hipster Please!.

I keep thinking about her over and over, Trapped in the moment like it's Honey and Clover, And my name is Shuu-chan and she is Hagu-tan, And this situation was never part of my plans. I wanted it platonic this time - no strings attached, But our passions resonated - and logic was snatched From beneath my feet, I functioned on instict; Nearly destroyed everything, because I didn't think. I stepped from back from the brink, but some people prodded, So I trusted; moved on as they all applauded, But it fell threw; yeah, it nearly imploded. I didn't know the situation was so fully loaded Of awkward implications and obvious errors, But she was all layed back, didn't seem to care. I thought I could build back, but doubt still loomed And since then I never stepped back in the room. ch. I wish I could put distance in Between our two existences then I could maybe just forget And stop living off old regrets. I wish I could put distance in Between our two existences then I would see a pastel future Instead of these broken sutures. v2. Besides she found a new love; yeah, own her Morita. I became more and more distant from this Senorita. She worked more often, and the spare time left Was spent with her new love, but I wasn't bereft, I had plenty - yeah, too much - on my plate anyways; I barely noticed that I hadn't talked to her for days Which became weeks and then months and then years, But that had happened with some of my previous peers, Yet with her it was different: the harmony between us Made me think I didn't want to forget this venus This muse, so I refused but the fact was blatant: Our wavelengths separated and this truth was patent. We could still quote and discuss the same minutiae; Both pop culture junkies, but it was acute the Differences formed and a love unshareable. Somehow inspite of that, I did not feel terrible. Ce la vie, right? (ch)x2
