Once again, I am enjoying Systematic Chaos.  I am so happy to be naive and clueless so that I am able to enjoy these albums that everyone else hates.

Almost every comment I have read regarding the new album has included the comment that it is better than Systematic Chaos, which was just dreadful.  Personally, I don't see it, so thus I must be clueless.  Or maybe a fool. Wink

I think it is better than SC, but I really liked SC.

So there you go. Wink

I am following Rob's lead with a little Phideaux listening for the next hour or so.

Solid four stars, just as Brian said.

I bought Train of Thought, Falling into Infinity, and And Then There Were Three today for less than 30 bucks just now. Big smile

I like it a lot simply put. And its only since coming back here that I realised it was disliked.

In some ways its better just not to know!

Ain't that the truth.  It is amazing the number of albums that I simply love that I had no idea sucked until I discovered PA.

SC is a great, yet flawed album

Approve Fantastic! And Then There Were Three for me is a more simplistic version of Wind & Wuthering, less elaboration on the songs, less solos, and so on. But it's not as pop-ish as the following albums, well at least it doesn't sound like one, since the 80's feel is not there. A good record.

You already know my thoughts on Falling into Infinity, I suppose, so I will be waiting for yours.

Cool.  OSI's Blood, IQ's Frequency, and Chickenfoot's Chickenfoot all arrived in the mail yesterday and today Black Clouds and Silver Linings was awaiting me.  I'll probably wait until tomorrow to listen to it.  I purchased the 3 CD version from Amazon for $14.49.

I'll be surprised if you like ToT, you might like FiI (at least more than I do, and I need to change my review for it to 3 stars), and I'm not the biggest Genesis fan as it is, so no comment. Tongue

I tend to like Falling into Infinity (it was some of the first Dream Theater I ever heard).  I've not heard the other.  And I've heard several tracks from the Genesis one.

You saw the final games, or did it catch you sleeping? Wink

Murray had no valuable opponents so far, and Gonzalez just disappeared off the radar. So that leaves only Roddick. Theoretically.

But I agree, Murray plays his game well, yet not as impressive as Federer and even Djokovic.

Caught me sleeping, unfortunately. Embarrassed

At least Murray is handling them quite easily. Roddick hasn't been able to close out any of his opponents in the 3rd set. He had Melzer on his heels and couldn't finish him, ended up having to play another set to get the victory.(and against a guy he had beaten 8 straight) Makes me sick. DeadLOL

I want himt to win..but meh, doesn't look good so far.
