I already owned the original, but this reissue has been remastered, and includes a second disc of rare and previously unrealeased tracks. It also includes a bonus dvd which has an expanded version of the Grace promo video, all the music videos from the album, a new music video for "Forget Her" and a discography. The remastered audio on this sounds fantastic. Well worth 30 bucks. Masterpiece, one of the finest albums you could ever buy, in my opinion.

:nod: :drool: :love: Amazing. Though, $30 was steep in my opinion. But I'm poor, so meh.

I also got:

I was fucking around with you man. I, in fact, want you to listen to it. It is good music, and I am rather glad to see you're into what I had to say about most of those bands.

Now Diana, I know you didn't trash my beloved Interpol, now did you? That Interpol album you said was a throwaway is my favorite album of this decade, so I really don't think you understand it. If you were more in-tune with your past, with music like Joy Division, New Order, and Public Image Ltd. you would understand why it's such a great album. It brings the listeners back to the time when punk was dying off, post-punk didn't quite exist (excluding those crazy kids in the Talking Heads) and when complicated chord changes and two-minute long solos in songs didn't matter. The purpose was to send your message through words, not through te Bmaj9 chord (which is the absolute toughest chord to play).

In other words, Interpol is for the nostalgic feel and the poetic asthetic, not the vocals and wailing guitar.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Good, I take your recommendations seriously. You recommend good stuff and do so eloquently.

I do respect you, believe it or not.

You found Loveless for $8?

Jesus Christ, I had to drop $13 into that sucker, but it was worth it. It's probably the best album of the 90s. Kevin Shields did so much with his guitar it's just amazing. So many layers. Ahhh.

With that said, it's not my favorite album of the decade. Hell, I doubt if it's top 10.

Does anyone own Queen's Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf?

i got a few songs and they're awesome, but i also stumbleed onto one that soundspretty death metal, what can i expect from the album. I know they've been critics darlings for awhile

"Go with the flow" might havebeen on much music a lot, but it's stilla fucking cool song
"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.

"Hold on, hold on children, your mother and father are leaving, hold on, hold on children your best freind's parents are leaving, leaving,.......*AHHH*! " - Death From Above - Black History Month

The last CD I got was 12 stones potter's field. Great... before that one was We Are Not Alone by Breaking Benjamin... quite possibly the best non olp cd ever!!! Highly recommended.
I'm used to making it worse,
Made up four letter words.
You want to know what it was,
Now isolated and gone.
You fall apart at the seams,
I'll never know what it means,
Try not to pull it apart,
Your aim is straight for the heart.

It's excellent. Get it! I'm can't even remember any death metal on it so it must only be one song. There are lots of good songs on it.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I bought Tragically Hip- "In Violent Light" 2 days ago. I must say I like it better than In Between Evolution.

I got Switchfoot's new cd as a gift. I am listening to it right now. It's actually good, a lot better than I expected it to be.
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

Okay, I understand... I don't really hate Interpol, because I'm actually a fan of quite a few of their songs; I was just annoyed because I couldn't find the CDs I originally wanted to purchase, and was disappointed when the ones that I thought were reasonable exchanges fell short of my expectations. I guess I haven't taken enough time to really study the lyrics, so I'll respect your point.
