I absolutely understand what you mean. I think it's the binary nature of the music, and a desire not to become a parody?.

yah, i think mike recently mentioned having felt emotion in connection to, for the first time since 2001, the playing of the drapery falls. i guess its a struggle in this respect, being a song-writing focussed band vs. pure improve, or say, just freaking out and playing random notes like the mars volta.
 
hey, i'm an indigo child, and i'm only 2 levels from reaching pure crystal consiousness. i would appreciate it if you wouldn't make fun of me.:Smokin:

Well of course you're an indigo, almost everyone here is. I was being slightLY sarcastic . . . .but that doesn't mean I was making fun of your religious preferences. I too am an Indigo but instead of being level 2 is sort of went backwards . . . . . I'm currently at -8 (that's negative) :heh:

maybe I shouldn't have slaughtered all those goats, then stuffed them and put them in awkward sexual positions for all my neighbors to see :Saint:

NOW THAT'S METAL FOR YA! :kickass: :rock:

let's hope opeth takes absolutely 0 influence from the mars volta :zombie:
