Nothing Short of a Bullet is a 2001 live album by The Lowest of the Low. The album documents the band's 2000 reunion tour. The title comes from a line in the band's song "For the Hand of Magdalena", Nothing short of a bullet could have broken your will.
It was released on MapleMusic Recordings.
The tracks on the album are taken from performances in Toronto and Buffalo. One of the songs performed in concert, "The Unbearable Lightness of Jean", did not appear on either of the band's studio albums, although a live version of it did appear on their Motel 30 single.
The album also contains a studio disc with three new songs, two originals by the band and one cover of a Bad Religion song.
Famous quotes containing the words short and/or bullet:
“The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“Rude poets of the tavern hearth,
squandering your unquoted mirth,
which keeps the ground, and never soars,
while jake retorts, and reuben roars;
tough and screaming, as birch-bark,
goes like bullet to its mark;
while the solid curse and jeer
never balk the waiting ear.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
