PAIN OF SALVATION!! 2 questions: a) Which album? b) What'd you think? -Jeff   I have no idea. It's not that it was on CD or something. Yesterday was the last day of school, and as usual it's a tradition to be "Music Day" where the students can play with their bands if they want, so a band which last year had played some great Genesis and Pink Floyd songs, they played a Pain of Salvation song in front of all the school! haha, really cool.   Really can't re-tell what song it was, but I can assure you that they played it excellently. It wasn't so metalish, lots of gentle piano but every now and then some powerful chords and vocals.

AWESOME!!!! In  science class I'm doing a pretty stupid project, but my teacher wants us to write lyrics to a "well-known song" that have to do with an assigned form of energy. The only problem is that I don't listen to "popular modern day songs"!

I'm going to intentionally pick a song with cookie monster vocals. When my group and I get to "sing" it in front of the class with the song playing in the background, we can all growl the lyrics! Now only if I can get my group to agree with this...

Anyway, if you're not into metal, I highly recommend starting with BE. Pure prog rock with many folk and classical leanings, all in a concept driven album.

About TD, I agree with you, you have to listen to TD when you're relaxed and you're in bed, you really feel the whole thing better and it then leads you to a chilling place which is unbelievable, haha. I would probably give Ricochet 4 stars. So lucky.... I have a Social Studies test tomorrow on ancient Mesopotamia that's worth half of my grade this marking period Maybe I should crank some TD No actually that's impossible... my dad has Neal Morse blasting so loud I think the neighbors can hear I recently shut off Queensryche because I couldn't hear it That's okay, Neal Morse is awesome too -Jeff

Yeah, my mom never gets a break. When I'm not blasting music from my room, my dad's cranking music in the living room It is really cool having a dad into prog. When we get CD's, a lot of times we each pay half. And on top of that, he has a pretty awesome collection anyway

Thanks for the good wishes about the test.

Oh lord, it's 7:00 already here! I'd better start studying

Well, see you later Pablo! ;)
