Will you buy the new "Gravity"?

me too. i can still listen to both Innocent and Somwhere Out There without feeling of disgust that you feel after a song is out for awhile. i still want to get up and dance around, despite my lack of abilities, to both of those songs! *dances*

Exactly. Many people complain that Gravity isn't as good as the other albums. And, in a way, they're right. In some ways, it pales in comparison to the other albums. But in other ways, it is better. Simple isn't always a bad thing. Rock isn't always a bad thing. It's not the same as the other albums. Yes, it is more similar to other rock albums out there, but seriously, it's a hell of a lot better than most of those other albums.

I find that comparing the albums is somewhat counterproductive. i know people like other albums more and can see what they mean whether its wanting Naveeds raw frenzy and excellent lyrics or the total thematic "bossquad" that is happiness. Its all about taste. but Gravity in its own right has songs that challenge me. With simple albums it makes you fill in the blanks so to speak. I mean raine is a bright guy, and his previous efforts alway smake me examine what he is saying. even if "we are all innocent"......I just read Steve's post and i am totally pumped about them going back to into the studio. and that's the first time I've heard from Steve...he seems really cool.

You sure are easily satisfied.

I can see how that comment about listening to an album all the way through could make sense if he meant listening to it all the way through numerous times...

that was so wonderfully irelevant to his post that it was hysterical

haha, I actually thought that mentioning my Davey Crockett "roadkill" hat was very relevant. I was stoned and drunk at my friends cottage. But in that pick they said I like some "stonermountie".........If it implies that my intelligence is a little low, well I'm not gonna argue. The pic before that looks like a raccoon humping my face. :wtf:

People believed it when I showed them.

Again this is way off the topic......I don't even remember what the topic was.

Hahaha, the goat. That's so weird. I really wonder where he came from. Although, I still say he's an escapee from a petting zoo. :lol:

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 11/26/2002, 6:42 am

New Gravity today! I'm going to call HMV after school and see if they actually have it yet, or if they're not putting them on the shelves until tomorrow.

we should have rescued him and brought him as a present to the band. imagine hitting a goat at 75 mph!!! that would be a mess

i need this new gravity...

This thing is amazing! The on tour video is great. It just shows them being themselves and having a good time backstage, and on stage, as well as some short statements from some seemingly hardcore fans.
Some highlights:
-Raine's dog sniffing the camera (I think it was Raine's dog)
-Duncan and Mike E. playing foosball, and Duncan says "I'm getting my ass kicked" then scores a huge goal on Mike.

-Jer making a comment about his great socks
-The before show thing where they all put their hands together

Mike E really seems like a full band member in this. It's great.

Oh, and while the live tracks are playing, there's a whole shitload of live pictures shown one after the other. Very good.

:mrgreen:

Oh, and the menu screens are cool too. There's different songs being played in each menu. One even has the crowd singing 4am.

Oh, and I mentioned something about hoping there'd be some new cover art... Well, it's the same except instead of the picture of the band on the front, it's the black and green geo-dome.

I think the live pictures are different for each song. Either that or there's just a hell of a lot of them...
