It is indeed.

You should.

Yup.


If you don't whine about lyrics/mediocre rock operas as much as I do, you should. Most people don't. Hence, you probably should. It's not a terrible album, just not half as good as Moving Pictures and co. think it is. The Crane Wife is much better.

The Crane Wife and the Hazards of Love are almost equal for my taste.

All I had to do is read the hyperlink and I knew what it was. The one about owls is why better, IMO.

I can't explain quite how mildly irritated I am by reading some of the reviews of Hazards here... no problems with people liking the thing, but I sometimes wish reviewers would think of praise more appropriate to the subject matter.

(hm, I've become quite irritable lately... should get more sleep + read more vaguely uplifting novels)

But then you're not enjoying the full school experience. Tongue

Them Crooked Vultures sounds like a band that I would enjoy.  I just read an article about them.  Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters and Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age teaming up with John Paul Jones of Led Zep fame.  That sounds like a supergroup right down my alley.

I thought I had mentioned them to you a few months ago, but maybe I forgot.

I got their debut album, but I have yet to hear it. I figure I should enjoy it as well.
You might have.  At my advanced age, I sometimes forget such things.

Not a whole lot, just looking forward to being off of school for a few weeks and getting some sweet new prog for Christmas. Tongue  You?

Ah, that sucks. Two of my finals are handouts. Tongue So really only one "real final" to worry about since I got to skip the final in my music class.

I could skip the final in my one music class and still end up with a C, but I kind of don't want to get a C.  That class is so unbelievably boring though, thankfully he told us we don't have to go if we've got a background in music so I've been to class...3 times now.
