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!.

ch.
It might come off as trite my dear
But it's like my sight's been cleared
I know you think you stand alone
But when we stand together that's called home
(x2)

v1.
It might not come to you easily / But I want you to believe in me
And not to be appeasin me / But instead because you see in me
A brand new life / A new path / a new hope
Not like that means total change / No need to elope
I just want to be there for you / To help you cope
And to help you it keep it fresh / Like my is scope
And I'm know I'm like the Kei to your / Mizuho - but who knows?
Maybe one day I'll grow enough / for you to disclose
Everything - good or bad / that you ever dealt with
Yeah one day I'll be strong / so you'll never melt this
Love I have for you / yeah I hope you know this
I love you like Hideki / loves Chii in Chobits
It's a love unconditional / I hope you feel me
It's mature like Jay-Z / I'm a grown up for real g
So I hope you and I will rise / making some gold hits
Yeah, I hope you will accept me / so we can both grow this

(ch.)

v2.
I want to be your asthmatic / who's tight with mathematics
Be there so you don't panic / want to stress that emphathic
I've recognized a lot of things about / myself lately
First and foremost of which / is that I hope you'll date me
Or atleast not hate me / for the things that I've said
You're still welcome in my house / can still sleep in my bed
So if I'm lost in translation / or just crossing wires
I'll step back and leave you be / if you're crossed and tired
Scratch that - I'll bring you some tea / or some coffee
And if need be drive you / to some therapy
I don't think you're crazy / but since you're so friendly
I always want to be available in all capacities
But I'd rather have you / as the Tohru to my Kyo
But I'm fine we're just friends / like Kei and Ichigo
On a similar frequency / but ultimately split
And though I'll leave it up to you / I hope you won't quit

br.
I know there will be times / when it all hurts
I understand fully / I could lose my shirt
On a gamble like this / but it's something I must do
Because deep down I / know that I can trust you

(ch.)x2
