Prog Trading Cards

I have that album too but still need to hear it. The interview parts are spread throughout all 3 songs, I think. It all flowed together for me, to be honest, until I actually paid attention for the review which songs were which.

Ah. I've done some interviews down there (documentary style) and there are some f**ked up stories to be told, that's for sure.

I've also been drunk off my ass down there . So many people offering me crack and cocaine I didn't even know WHAT was going on

That very well could be and actually makes perfect sense given the title of the song.

My review was actually posted earlier but I was in the midst of typing a long response, so it'll be interesting to see what cards both of us receive.

birdwithteeth11, you got:

Mike, you missed a few tracks in your track-by-track assessment ("Closet Chronicles," "Sparks of the Tempest," and "Nobody's Home"), but I'll let this one slide.  

You's a busy, busy man, an' all.

Yes, I skipped those because it gets to a point when I start repeating myself saying the same thing about different songs and I'd rather just skip that, although I could have said "Closet Chronicles is the other epic on the album, and like Hopelessly Human it is a very good and emotional song which goes through some nice changes before it reaches it's eventual end". But you get the gist of it anyways.

Mike, do you even work?

Uh-oh, you caught me


I do, but it's an on and off basis. Actually tomorrow I was going to go back to my old part-time job. I make a lot of money doing freelance work, but I'm getting really bored on all my days off, might as well make some extra coinage.

Ouch man, that sucks!
