C'mon, Henry. Blackest Eyes sounds nowhere near as bad as Breaking Benjamin. :P

I'd say PT are prog for sure, but the degree of their prog depends entirely on the era. And if you don't like the alt-rock sound, I can definitely see why you wouldn't like them at all.

I think their popularity isn't too overhyped; it's just easy to think so sometimes on here, but the case is the same with some other bands as well.

The opening riff does. This is the first thing I thought of when I heard it. That song ruined Halo 2!

It did. I usually turned the volume down or off when I got to where the song played in the game.

Hahaha, this episode of Law and Order is about neo-nazis. Time for more ham-fisted moralizing!

I've probably seen that one. Morals thick enough to cut with a knife.

The fat neo-nazi shot up a playground. But the exciting part is the ever present dilemma in letting people express their views and tolerating hate speech. ;-)

I told you. Clap

I have The Hidden Land and 3 Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I prefer the former so far, but they're both excellent. I know I'll get more for sure.

I forget who said it, but the quote goes something like "The only reason stupid people are alive is because it's illegal to shoot them".

Judging In Absentia by Blackest Eyes is like judging OK Computer based on Fitter Happier.
