SR VIII: Vander Got Run Over By A Reindeer!

Yours is one of my favorite avatars around here. Plus, as Robert was saying, I heavily associate people with their avatars and when they change them it REALLY bothers me. But really, I haven't been enjoying Yes lately.

I hardly ever listen to most of the music I grew up with lately. I'm just discovering so much other stuff; and I'm 100% satisfied with that.

I have no desire to listen to Yes or some other bands for a while.

I just never pictured you listening to them.

To be honest though, I'm not all that familiar with their music. What's your verdict?

I only sampled 2009's Eternal cause, well, I caught the indie/alternative flu.

A few grimaces here and there, but on the whole enjoyable.

I also re-listened to Flaming Lips before Sonic Youth, if you can imagine that.

Well...I've only heard it a handful of times...but...good lord: I almost didn't bother getting this based on the bio and the two reviews of it.  Geezus (as Harry would say) I'm really glad I did. As of right now, it's my symphonic album of the year for sure. Hmmm... may have to check that out then. It wasn't cheap though...and I don't know what drew me to it.  I guess I bought it out of desperate disappointment of symphonic prog this year...so much in that genre has sucked.  Plus, I was intrigued by the artwork and the song titles. I am expecting The Whirlwind to come in soon though...and when I get it...I'll...*searches for something clever to say*...I'll "give it a whirl."  Despite my genre specialty tag, you know how I feel about the modern Symphonic scene in general. It hardly interests me. But I may have to check that one out.

Let's see...

not sure how to describe it....try Kansas plus Dream Theater with a chick singing also- but the "metal" is not overpowering (like the latter band can be)...just emphasizing that the music is heavier symphonic fare.

Sounds good. May have to do that too.

I may do that once I stop being swamped with homework.

Aphex Twin is amazing. Love his debut especially.

I only have a few times; I really should give it another listen.

It's pretty good though. Definitely, it is more ambient than Richard's other stuff.
