Great thread! I'm digging all the differing opinions about this album. I've listened to the album a handful of times, but finally got to sink my teeth (ears) into it this morning. Here's a short review of how I view the album & tunes: Overall A very inspired-sounding effort. The songs are...

Hey Gang, So I'm a very intermittent poster here - VERY intermittent, lol. But I found my way back here after a small rediscovery of Sym X. I popped on Paradise Lost on my new car stereo, and I was a happy fuckin camper :rock::rock::rock: But this got me to thinking - I don't really...

This made me actually spit out my iced team, haha. I love guys like this - thinking music is a science rather than an art. And honestly? The number of awesome one-liners in this review are astounding. "It seems that all of them didn't have will to live..." "... that's the art of...

I haven't read the whole thread here, but I'm a fan of the 2nd AM album. The first one tried to do too much IMO. The second album just gets into the groove of high-level driven stuff. And on the second album, it sounds like the band as a whole is having way more fun. I'm gonna see them live...

What a weird thread. I just saw them in NJ on Friday night, and loved the show. They put on a great show still, and are one of my favorite live bands. And frankly, if you don't like the shows, I'm sure nobody in the band will lose a wink of sleep. Bands play for 1 reason only: themselves...

This show is going to rock my inner being. Looking forward to the Starland Ballroom & Best Buy Theater shows :) :rock:

Ahoy fellow rockers :rock: I recently installed a new pickup on my axe, the Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion Humbucker (loving it so far btw). My guitar (Schecter C-1 Classic) has an SH-1 in the neck spot, and the new Sh-6 in the bridge spot. The humbuckers that came with teh guitar have a...

I'm not sure I got into any albums that were released this year. That's unfortunate :( I think the best album I picked up was probably the Chickenfoot album. Other than that, nothing really stands out to me. The latest Muse offering is good, but not my cup of tea. The new Porcupine Tree is...

This is a band name I haven't heard in ages. I'm intrigued to hear all the praise for their latest effort. I think I'm gonna pick me up a new album soon :)

Haha, slide is for suckers :heh: I'm gonna go back AGAIN to this place and ask for my money back. I'm tired of having a guitar that's worse now after I got it "fixed." I'll take what you guys said, and just rattle off all my complaints. @Kenneth: Yeah man, I love this axe so hard...

I was totally expecting you to do a Kanye West!: Sorry Sym X, I'm happy for ya and Imma let you finish, but DT had the best prog album of ALL TIME. ALL TIME! :lol:

As promised, I took some pictures to try and get better pictures of the action/frets themselves. My phone blows at taking pictures, but I did what I could. Let me know if you want some different ones, I'll do what I can. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc10/n00dlejester/1013091412.jpg...

Wow, those frets look a lot more normal than mine. This guy messed up bigtime. Thank you so much for the help CantoX. I'm ordering those pick-up rings now. Thank you for that link. I'm gonna have somebody round out my frets. I'll get a picture or two of the actual frets themselves for...

Just picked up 3 new albums today at the Best of Buys: Steve Vai: Where the Wild Things Are Muse: Black Holes and Revelations Dethklok: Dethalbum II :) :) :)

QFT They have their occasional moments of good lyrics...well, tolerable. But for the most part, yikes. I have a tendency to just ignore whatever they try to say and pretend the singer is the lead instrument, and listen to melodies instead of actual words, lol. As for this album, I...
