A.C.T.: any news?

   ^Meh, the only A.C.T album I love is Last Epic. I don't think I particularly like their songwriting when it isn't following a concept. It's mostly because of their song structures on independent songs are kinda repetitive and boring for me. The songs on Last Epic go through a lot of twists and turns even if they are subtle ones. The non-suite songs on Silence follow pop structures just about the whole time, and a whole album of similar-sounding songs with similar structures is something I can't sit through with much ease. Furthermore, they don't really "rock out" as much until the suite. It's not a bad album, but it doesn't reach me intellectually or emotionally too much.

	Great news! I am not much into Last.fm, are those pages reliable? @ Moatilliatta: you didn't like Silence? I loved it to the core!

	There is no third period! The name is "A.C.T" That having been said, I would like to hear some new stuff. I was disappointed with Silence as a whole, but I know they have it in them to make another great album.
