Hey Matt,

Obviously it comes down to what you're using it for but if you decide to go the tablet route, here are my two cents.

I've owned an Android (Moto Xoom) and switched over to the iPad last month. I'd highly recommend the iPad. My mother was able to replace her laptop with a tablet, I ...

I guess living in such a huge country makes it hard even for Canadians to explore their own territory, right?

Funny cause this also happens in Brazil. I live in Rio de Janeiro and I've only been to São Paulo ONCE. And I've never been to any other place in my country. I've actually been to more ...

Hey guys! It's been ages since I've posted here (though I've certainly been lurking).

I would really appreciate help from some of our more musically-inclined CMers.

I'd really like to do something special for my girlfriend (who some of you met, yes we're still together after six years!). I'm ...

If you pay for your games then you won't have an issue. I don't steal games so I just laughed at people who were banned.

Well, one thing is certain; everyone thinks Raine Maida is a pompous self absorbed asshole. And lately, with all his interviews, I tend to not disagree.

How many times has OLP be "a new band" on a "new level" being "the best we've ever been" on our "best record to date in our opinion."

That's ...

So I'm back, it was epic. I've already seen the TG Vietnam special. I went from Kuala Lumpur up the peninsula hitting the Cameron Highlands, Kota Bahru and the Belum Forest then headed Phuket (all on a bike), two hour boat ride to Koh Samui then back to Phuket and a flight to Bali then Jakarta ...

Good point, the only opinion that matters is your own and if you really need to validate your favourite band, don't read any further than what fans have to say. They have greater insight into the music than a music reviewer.

iTunes reviews have given it 4/5 for the deluxe and 4.5/5 for the ...

agh how did i miss this?

or they're all swingers!

all i want is lots of gooey cheese a shit load of jalapenos. mike's gone now and the music he's making isn't all that great. let's leave it at that.

I love Burn Burn, but then I also liked Gravity & HiPT. There isn't a track on this record that I wouldn't want to listen to. Favourites are Paper ...

I love the video for TRS, the DVD that comes with the disc is actually worth the extra few bucks unlike HiPT...who wants to sit around and watch interviews? I just wish that I didn't have to work so hard to get my hands on the deluxe copy since it seemed to be sold out everywhere.

i vote for timblaland

Let's just wait it out the old fashioned way!

This is probably a long shot but can you (Trusty) share some sort of insight as to what the asterisks next to Signs of Life, Refuge, The Right Stuff and White Flags mean? I'm assuming that it means that these songs are going to be on the album for sure...

i'm going to be visiting Malaysia and making my way up to Thailand in July. I plan on buying a motorcycle there and biking to Phutek. Any helpful tips?

Does this sound familiar to any of you guys?

I'm trying to hold back from forming opinions on these, but damn it's hard. So once again, based PURELY ON THESE CLIPS:

- I don't feel any energy from these
- Too many ballads
- Definitely doesn't feel raw
- Overthoughts and underthoughts seem to be a problem lately
- In the snippets that we heard ...

Dreamland is a total headphone song. Preferably while extremely high. I'm giving the songs more listens. 30 seconds clips aren't enough to judge. Cause to be honest, I loved the clips from Gravity.

I totally think you're channeling me right now, I picked up a giant pair of Bose headphones ...

My preliminary thoughts on the tracks:

AYD: Flows well with the record.

Dreamland: I like the strings in the beginning, sounds like the song just builds momentum. The chorus will definately be catchy.

Monkey Brains: Pretty Sick.

The End is Where We Begin: Something U2 could have knocked ...

I bet the songs get better, it's hard to like any song when you only hear 30 seconds of it. I like the flashing window trusty!

I wouldn't have been excited about Paper Moon if all I heard was the first thirty seconds of the track. Refuge is supposed to have a kickass guitar solo in it so I'm sure ...
