Black sheep of an excellent album otherwise

I just skip all the ballads in Dream Theater cd's that i really like. I never understand why progressive metal bands do ballads?

And i skip every 1 or 2 minutes interlude of Porcupine Tree's materpiece or any other excellent album.
Why does all the bands don't put their garbage ones at the end, so we could save the trouble.

I also skip most  solos of guitar player, piano and drums of my favorite bands. I must only like bands' music and not any particular display of musicians playing alone.

I've already seen the direction your thread on Female Prog artists took. Don't forget that things written on a computer screen are easily misunderstood, and can as easily cause flame wars.    Wise, very wise words! What can I say to my defence? It seems to be you have a longer beard than me. That's the joke of the century! Don't you know that I am a woman? I just had a Lord of the RIngs moment. Prepare to be slain, Gandalff!

Maybe the racial slur was the Guinness?

It's certainly the best though.

I never get tired of hearing it, it's such a nice change of pace from the heaviness of the rest of the album. I love it. Me too

my kids love the audio and made me play  The Hare who Lost his Spectacles 4 times in a row.... 'you kangaroo you kangaroo.....'

gadzooks!

Balderdash! Hooey! Malarkey and Bullroar!

I never said it wasn't, just that I had never heard it before. I am very pleased to have learned something, since I love outdated words. YOu may have noticed my recent favorite "ballyhoo" cropping up in a number of threads.

Tommyrots? Leave it to a non-native speaker to teach me a word I've never heard in my life.

I am going to start using this all the time now.
