No. I have BM, and it doesn't do anything for me...

I thought as much XD

Me and him have similar tastes in music, which doesn't explain why he doesn't like MGB... Oh well though XD

How is that possible? That's the best album ever, better than Raine Maida will ever get.

Some would say that Britney Spears is the best "artist" ever. Do you agree?

I get your point.

But BM is somewhat like Spiritual Machines, it's the kind of album that grows on you and unlike Gravity that's easily attached and easily, well, detached. Give a a couple more tries, it happened to me too. I bought BM, heard it 3 times, kept it in the drawer because it had no effect on me. Then I went to his concert, and I fell in love with the cd.

Hmmmmm this may sound odd in this thread but which song by matt is your least liked? Mine is The rat that would be king, i understand the creativity and balls it takes to make a song like that but something about his voice in that song erks me
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

BM is far more immediate than AoB wouldn't you say? It has more straight-forward (well as straight-forward as Matt makes) "rock" songs (i.e. Load Me Up, HTB, Jenni's Song) than any other albums.

That's true as well, but I don't know axtech well enough to know what music he likes. BM is more immediate than AoB indeed, but BM is also more cryptic than any OLP albums I would say.

Anyway, I least favourite track, probably Native Son, it just annoys the hell outta me.

I love that song. It's so eerie. My least favourite would be Every Name Is My Name, because it's crap.

Audio of Being is really the only album I really love. Most of the songs on the other albums don't grab me. I love Apparitions, though.

I'm probably going to be jumped for this but anything before underdogs (besides fearless) is crap.

I really don't like antipop either.

Enough negativity! I love advertising on police cars, everthing is automatic, born to kill, a boy and his machine gun, ..... too many to name.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but has anyone read his book?

There are some good songs on LOTGA, but generally it has got better as it went along.

You've gotta listen to Symbolistic White Walls live, it's just awesome.

I really like Matthew Good's music, but after listening to a lot of it, most of the songs sound similar... am I the only one who thinks this?

Now that is true. That is fucking amazing (starts to listen to it...).
