It's almost comical how one day I was listening to Octavium (or whatever) and something in my brain clicked and I thought, "F*#K this band. I'm done with 'em." I haven't heard Devin's new one but I'm going to concur with you anyways. He, too, has been overextending himself. His stuff doesn't have pulp anymore. It's music that's eccentric just for the sake of being eccentric. Lame. Porcupine Tree has unfortunately fallen off my radar. I need to catch up. A guy in one of my classes last semester said Black Planet is totally legit - and recorded in Dolby 5.1. Wilson knows what he's doing! Please note: I've not mentioned Beale Street... Doing so will only fan the flames. I haven't heard about Vedder's release. Will be looking into this one for sure. And hey, if you liked ATP's newest one, check out Sasquatch. Their sound's got a bit more groove to it, but still... crunchy guitars and mammoth-sounding drums. Good stuff. Anyways, that's just my two cents. Keep me up on what you're jamming with.
