[@scottarnest8980]

@@433bliss I have checked out the Tilburg live show. They sound better live. The harmonies are louder and less of the NIN type of effect on the voice - which I really do not mind, although some do.

I discovered Porcupine Tree, depressed and burrowing through KZbin's endless rabbit holes. The first song I discovered was Lazarus and the second was arriving somewhere But not here. My red eyes and a slightly buoyant spirit tells me that I have arrived somewhere. What place it is, I dont know yet, but its mellow and warm, and I am staying here for now.

Never stop the car on a drive in the dark Never look for the truth in your mother's eyes Never trust the sound of rain upon a river Rushing through your ears Arriving somewhere but not here Did you imagine the final sound as a gun? Or the smashing windscreen of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song? All my designs, simplified And all of my plans, compromised All of my dreams, sacrificed Ever had the feeling you've been here before? Drinking down the poison the way you were taught Every thought from here on in your life begins And all you knew was wrong? Did you see the red mist block your path? Did the scissors cut a way to your heart? Did you feel the envy for the sons of mothers tearing you apart?

Same goes for Tool. I hope you listen to them as well. Women like you need to come out of the woodwork. I understand that listeners of Mineral Music (Rock and Metal) are a minority anywhere. But that's especially applicable to our country. People don't understand why I prefer this music. I don't know what your experience has been. But I get weird looks when I tell people I listen to LoG and they Google to find out. :P

Caution! Consuming Prog as a daily basis may cause pretentiousness, extreme arrogance, lack of logical reasoning and excess of bias on the neurological system. In case of presenting lack of respect, cut any contact with Internet until effects cease.
