It happened the same to me...

It's inevitable.

Definitely. However, I might plan to raise Scenes to 3 stars....hmm.... Shocked

Fans of Torman Maxt everywhere will rejoice. Bad does not even begin to describe how shockingly childish, feeble and uninteresting Scenes From A Memory Metropolis is. It's like kicking musical taste and writing properly in the stomach for forty minutes, having Home, and then kicking musical taste and writing properly in the stomach for ten minutes and then having a long, boring, melodramatic and basically content-free conclusion. One day I hope, I will coin a phrase savage and primitive enough to express what I feel about that waste of time and money.

Also, any rock opera where you'll get in a female choir to rip off Pink Floyd but not a female vocalist for a damn female lead is highly suspect in the Book of Orb.

On the bright side, there also exist/ed very skilled musicians who can make something worth listening to. Such as Colosseum. Just reviewed Valentyne Suite. Great album.

Edit: And it's not my fault. Somewhat mentions Scenes From A Memory Metropolis and I start foaming at the mouth and trying to dig tunnels in the ceiling. GRAAAH!!!

What about Rush? Who introduced to that?

...btw, you totally need more Zappa, like almost all the guys from here Wink

my Dad gave me his copy of Fly By Night. Big smile

Nice! A cool dad, eh? Wink

You made him an honour placing your nickname with a song from that album, right?

Sort of. It was kind of mutually our favorite song from the album.

When I said almost all the guys from here I was making the exception for you, David and Evo Sleeper. Not sure if Rico liked him or not....

What's on that reading list?

I guess you're doing Classics of some sort?

Yep and I don't know yet really (a couple of learning Greek books were suggested, but I've got two anyway)... college reading list should arrive in a week. Still, I'm dreading it.

Just don't use Blackwell's. They're expensive.

I still only have a couple of his albums on vinyl that I inherited from my girlfriend moving in - but for all of my grade 12 year that was like THE meme between me and my friends

Cool, your girlfriend likes Zappa? And on LP? That's too cool, to be true Tongue

Glad you liked the song, always a great rocker with great lyrics Wink
