Neither do I, they don't sound alike.

Or maybe people are just happy with their present lyrical themes... feel free to respond!
I've never paid close attention to their lyrics, personally. What I'd like to hear from them next is kind of a "back to basics" rockin album. I don't mean straight-forward rock, I just mean less spacey and just in your face. Like Aenima but closer to 45-50 minutes and without the experimental filler tracks. I just want something I can put on often. The problem I have with pretty much all of their albums, as much as I love them, is that they are too long so I don't put them on as often as I'd like to (being an album listener). I still want their technical abilities and songwriting, just in a more compact package.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
