Hi Geoff, l just want to say you are phenomenal singer! Your range is off the charts Sir. Queenryche was very lucky to get you. I wish you the best in the future direction.

[@HillyBillyHornyHands]

I really like the section about lyrics.

[@gotmonkeyfinger]

Geoff, I wish I could talk to you. you need to get back on track. you are the best of the best.

This new CD is the most Porcupine Tree Queensryche record yet! I agree with Geoff view of how music is listen to today. It is mobile, iPod based and this record is a clever attempt to stay connected to younger crowds and today's music scene.

Hey Geoff, if you like challenges, come as guest vocalist on my next Road to Consciousness album ;)

[@Whackooyzero]

@Kokoras2000 Yeah it is very disappointing. I'm quite young, but I still prefer a stereo system to ipod type setups. I also think this mindset Geoff has about it being "background music" is why the new albums sounds so inconsequential yet still very annoying.

[@Kokoras2000]

A record that is designed for headphones ? Damn I am so old fashioned. I still sit at my living room, drinking a glass of wine, and listening to music with my stereo system. I should start listening to music only with headphones or with an mp3 player while waiting for the bus to arrive ... How disappointing is this, a man like Geoff Tate making music only for headphones just because this is the new fashion ...

[@TheBudLife67]

Yeah I agree it's horrible and it still outsold FU, LMAO!

[@Robynzsongs]

What the hell Geoff?? Yeah, music is more mobile but that don't mean we only listen on the ipod. Geeze, you know better than that, you were THERE in the 70's and 80's and you were a FAN before a star. YOU KNOW the only way to listen is to CRANK IT UP & let the sound fill your world. You KNOW this, all music lovers know this. I understand trying to stay current but COME ON, it seems like these kids recording today don't have a clue how to rock & YOU & the 80's bands should LEAD, not follow.

[@thewaragainstcars]

Don't be a schmuck, ok? Both parties are to blame for the problems in this country. Geoff doesn't talk about the right/left paradigm because he's smart enough to know that BOTH parties are bought and paid for by the emitters of currency and credit. Break your conditioning.

[@EGX500]

To Tate, did Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black help you write the lyrics"? because this album is horrible. but thats the norm for these jokers

[@TheBudLife67]

That's not very nice, does your hero know about this?
