Despite still seeing many problems and being angry about them, he doesn't let them consume him and the result is a performer who is almost angelic to watch, who exhibits a sense of realness and sincerity that is unparalled.Avhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14066502294753775494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256820380415514447.post-26722531660758678192009-03-25T10:49:00.000-04:002009-03-25T10:49:00.000-04:00Nicely done- for me I think there are 3 different ...Nicely done- for me I think there are 3 different ways to approach music; the objectively great (zep, beatles), subjetcively great (for us PJ, MMJ etc) but there is also the category of music that has a personal/emotional impact on us either because it was an important aspect of our youth or it played a vital role in an essential moment of our lives. I think that PJ has grown over the years, musically and lyrically and certainly Ed has grown as a human being and has shed that unbearable angst from the early 90's. As a result, I think that subjectively my favorite albums are Yield and VS- they are the most musically dense (although No Code and Vitalogy are oh-so-close). However, because of the vital role that Ten played in my youth it's songs will always have a special place in my heart. Oh, and black is the best song ever written.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695017379204779437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256820380415514447.post-23737522303150019612009-03-24T14:22:00.000-04:002009-03-24T14:22:00.000-04:00does it bother you that staind's aaron lewis sings...does it bother you that staind's aaron lewis sings a better version than eddie's original?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256820380415514447.post-77047905216312983752009-03-23T22:35:00.000-04:002009-03-23T22:35:00.000-04:00That is a very reasonable criticism.

One thing I can guarantee: if Coldplay ever releases an album titled as a number, the album will have exactly the same number of songs as that number.Avhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14066502294753775494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256820380415514447.post-47227864930490416732009-03-23T20:17:00.000-04:002009-03-23T20:17:00.000-04:00As a child, it never sat well with me that there w...As a child, it never sat well with me that there were 11 songs on this album.
