If a goth is a nail biter does their nail polish double as lipstick?

Permanent Waves and Power Windows remain my fav Rush albums overall. Moving Pictures is fine too.

I've tried half a dozen times without getting into them but might try once again as well.
Moving Pictures and Signals. You really have to listen to the lyrics. Neil Peart was wordsmith.

They look the same to me. Juggalos too.

No, cause lip stick is made of wax and nail polish is made from film-forming polymers dissolved in a volatile solvent.

Glad you found something to like about them. They're not for everybody, sure, but they are a lot of fun if you give them a chance.

Ill go out on a limb and suggest "2112" too, if you haven't heard it yet. They were just tapping into that Hemispheres sound after a bit of experimenting on Fly By Night (By-Tor) and Caress of Steel (Necromancer/Fountain of Lamenth).

There's also other facets in their song structuring too, like the Fear Trilogy, and their use of recurring elements like the Rocinante, and Cygnus X-1.

Drowning Pool suck as a band but "Bodies" legitimately deserves to be remembered as a bombass metal song even if it's just a pop song with guitars. It still knocks and represents a sound that deserves to be remembered even if most of the rest of the representatives of the sound don't deserve to be remembered.
