I dunno he seems like he's gotten a whole lot cheerier since the band split up... especially since he was having anxiety attacks and such.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Quick question.

Why is Audio of Being so under rated?

I find it to clearly be the highlight of the matthew good band epic.

I mean with songs like the rat who would be king, tripoli, i, the throw away, and sort of a protest song... how can't it be looked upon as their best?

Many people don't like Rock music at all. And for those that do, MGB still just isn't their cup of tea. What can you do? I've read a few reviews of it though, and most of them were glowing.

Fun fact: does anyone else know the live extra lyrics to Suburbia? Well, if you imagine them in your head while listening to the actual Suburbia, at about 4:43 you hear a Matt faintly say something. Until I knew the live lyrics, I didn't know what it was. But it's him saying "pills" right in time with the live version when he goes "the doctors are confident, the pills always win". :nod:

a) it's a different Jen
b)avalanche doesn't seem to do anything for me anymore. I've found myself going back to older albums and getting much more enjoyment out of them.
c)sweet, i'm sleepy. feels like the real thing. the doctors are confident the pill always win. it's like constantly travelling when you don't see a thing. and parts of you forgotten are all unearthed.
Don't ask questions, just accept it.
