whoops! french error! recently I've stopped speaking french to my family so I'm not doing very well french-wise. I'll probably improve once I get back into school.

And yeah, it took me a while to warm up to Tobin. Once you get into his music though, it's pretty rewarding. And yeah, De-Loused pretty much changed my perception of music (Hence the Cedric avatar)

Scrolled down the page, saw the golden head, and knew your next album choice even before reading any of the text :P

Great choice, btw
Awesome album!

also, I haven't gotten hidden yet. I do think their criticism is unfair. I think they're pretty cool but the critics all disagree.

Thats the point! This album is about emotion! Tracks like avril 14th or brt 4 are like taking a breath before facing the mosnter. They're elevator songs, u listen to it till u get to the next level (floor) it's that simple and few people seem to understand that, wich is odd because its kinda obvious... People usually think its "trash" while in fact they're filling a purpose for the good listeners, or for those who bother to understand an album.

I like Floyd and all, but my vote seriously goes to new prog.

Coheed and Cambria can go die, though. I don't like them

damn, your reply is neutral, I guess its a tie then...
you know, I don't think I ever listened to coheed and cambria, I have heard of them before though.

I like Coheed and Cambria's first 3 albums. Pretty much got burned out on them though, but they are good.

And old prog vs. new prog is a senseless argument...they are both good! Both having their fair share of sucky bands/releases, of course.

Hardly prog at all.
