I am way more down with it now than I have been in the past; in fact I totally enjoyed it when I was cruising around to that album not too long ago. Regardless, there's no denying it has its place in the disc.

I love Lotus Eaters. there is something about that song... i just love it. Oh, and Steve... let's question that again, cause i love it when people argue about the "whys" and "wheres" and the "how comes"

the only question you could ask that has more of an obvious answer is when you look into a mirror and say "Is that me?!"
exactly. I really don't know where you were going with this statement, though. It's kind of painfully inane. Rock and roll?
and christ, get the fuck back in the woodworks people. no one cares if you like passenger or not. it's just like precognition, it's a bit out of place on the disc. that's all I was saying about the songs. ALBUM FLOW. FYI, I think Passenger beats the shit out of Tiannanemane Man, so I'm not berating song quality.

suck a troll?
edit: but to clarify, it was a perfectly logical followup to your completely illogical preceeding wtg statement, in order to state, yes, we were talking of albums.
Will commented on song quality and you mentioned that you shared the same opinion. When the numerator of flow discussion is less than the denominator of song discussion, significantly, I can make a generalization.

The songs on TGE aren't as varied as some of the other cds especially DHIADW so I think this flow thing you're complaining about is your personal opinion. Also production values on TGE are solid so it flows really well.
I also think Passenger is the second best track off poe after the learning. Lost, and The Tiananmen Man are a bit iffy.

DNB flows the best, in my opinion. It's flawless. But also, it's a concept album for the most part, so it only makes sense that it should flow musically since it "flows" lyrically (flow meaning most of the lyrical content is in the same vein). I do however think that TGE flows amazingly well, despite the apparently despised "filler/guest instrumental song". I really don't care all that much who wrote the songs, or if James Murphy did a guest solo over a bass line Jim made up, that leads into one of Steve's songs. What everyone contributed to the album artistically/creatively, producers/engineers included; made for an end result that I'm personally really pleased with on all levels. "Flow of the album" included.
Well said, and I agree.
I believe Will has a personal vendetta against Steve. It's not fair to bog the album down with negative opinions based on that alone. The album was released by NEVERMORE and therefore had NEVERMORE'S seal of approval, which is class and quality.

Lets look at this logic. Steve wrote 3 songs, right? right. Did he alone dictate *where* on the album these songs would go, thus deciding the flow of the album? Unless you know he did for a fact (which is 99.9% improbable) then you can't make a statement saying that the album flows badly because of Steve's writing. Even warrel would disagree, saying that the songs Steve wrote sounded like "Nevermore songs"...a main reason why the band elected Steve instead of Chris to be a member in the 1st place. Remember his challenge to all his interviewers asking them to try and name the 3 songs on TGE that Steve wrote, with most people getting them wrong? My point is that Steve's songs aren't so different between other Nevermore songs that they stand out enough as if you can identify them as being *the* songs which make the album flow badly. Half the people thought Jeff wrote them.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying and if so I apologize...but trying to blame Steve and his writing for your opinion about the album's bad flow isn't logical, is it?
