Those are all great songs. 3 of them are some of my favorites from TMV; I bet you can guess which one I like but not as much as the rest.

| You don't care as much for "The Widow?" Really? Man...hear out the lyrics...they're some of the most poignant lyrics Bixler-Zavala ever wrote...I think about losing my spouse of five years and being a lonely old man when I hear them.

| Holy crap. Why have I not paid more attention to this one? The melody is amazing.

I do like it, but it doesn't strike as much of a chord with me. I thought the sound they found on Bedlam was absolutely perfect, despite how amazing Amp and De-Loused were (and to a lesser extent Frances, although very good). Unless I'm in the mood for that and the ending noise part of it, I don't enjoy it as much generally. I could listen to Bedlam anytime.
|
I just soak in the lyrics- they're some of the most sensible and touching one's he ever wrote.
Aside from that, it's easy to play!

That song is SO tight.
"I NEEEEED A BRAAAAND NEW SKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!"
*air drums to it*
You inspired me to put Bedlam in just for that song.
| I'm listening to the rest of the album just because of that song. I'm not as impressed so far, though (I actually didn't care as much for "Goliath" as I thought I would after reading some reviews), but I'm willing to hear everything again. If anything, "Ilyena" made the album worth buying.

| I haven't made them yet- they're next on the list though. I finished 3 albums from Genesis, one from The Mars Volta, and a crap load of gold cards, among some other things.

"Cavalletas" has a good groove. It's not my favorite because they ruin the song with too many goofy sound effects, but it's all right.
