This is damn good. But Deftones are hogging the iPod still.

...but I loathe 'Rats!Rats!Rats' There's enough screamo in the world as it is.

Are all off the same album, no less. "Be Quiet and Drive," "One Weak," "Knife Prty," "Digital Bath," and horror-movie-soundtrack stalwart "Change (In the House of Flies)." Impressive, consistently unique body of work, that.

And I certainly don't miss it, either.

I'll give you that last, considering I listen WAY more to ATDI than Bjork.

Vespertine.

let your spellchecker blow you instead, troglodite.

and you can blow ME.

Bjork! How fascinating an album 'Vespertine' is.

I'm going to say (and I know this is my opininion and not everyone else's) that I can totally understand how ATDI made it, and why it's so highly ranked: first off, it's highly original (in a musical landscape peppered with bands that do nothing more than attempt to recapture a period in history during which they were six years old and watching Sesame Street or something), and the musicianship is top-drawer. Thank God Sparta didn't make the top 6, though. And it drags? The songs on 'Relationship of Command' snap from one to another quickly enough and with such range that it never stagnates. But Wilco? Bah. There are far more unique things to listen to.

Yeah, it gets a bit washy, but it's relaxing.

That's the only reason little emo-kids listen to shit like this- because people keep touting how important, and more importantly, "cool" it is to listen to. The only scenesters I see associated with this bilge are the same scenesters associated with any similar shit. Not liking this song doesn't mean I'm an "ass," it means I have taste, and am discrete enough not to sign on to this little bandwagon.

...with we Roma. Or our damn music. Opre!

And superb. And better than "Darkness at Noon," though that was no slouch itself.

What a selfindulgent piece of crap. Of course, you could probably shoehorn most similar pseudo-emotional music into the same classification. I hope to God they HAVE hit their peak. 'Nuff's enuff.

Finally. After three years of their recording and then scrapping entire albums, telling people, "Next spring; wait, NEXT spring," alternately telling people the next album's "evil, loud metal," "brainy and artsy," and "like White Pony but different," releasing a stopgap B-sides album of covers most people have already heard, and giving the impression that it was to become their "Chinese Democracy," the day has finally come upon us.
