Source-derived summary

III: So Long Suckers is the third and final studio album by Finnish doom metal band Reverend Bizarre. It is a double album.

The duration on the first CD (66:06) is not coincidental. The first draft at mastering the CD was adjusted by a few seconds to produce the three 6's in the duration.

The lyric "Christs may come and Christs may go but Caesar is forever" is lifted from the pamphlet Might Is Right by Ragnar Redbeard.

The fifth track on CD 2 is a secret track not mentioned on the back cover of the CD case. It also goes under the nickname "Mallorca".

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “III: So Long Suckers” as album by Reverend Bizarre. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current 105-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2007. The account is most persuasive where Long, Suckers and album can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as album by Reverend Bizarre. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 5, 2025.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
