    This song just takes me to another place. The video is fan-made so excuse the dancing and Roy Scheider

    The debut is fun to listen to every now and then. I do find Working Man to be a low point though...it just never did anything for me. Here Again and Before & After are really awesome. Wonder why they never played B&A live

    Season 2 is incredible. I envy those who get to watch this show for the first time

    I really like this album. It's not their strongest, but I always listen to the epic straight through and there's not a moment where it feels like it drags. The middle of Time Flies might be my all-time favorite PT moment...the mood is absolutely surreal and beautifully haunting. I Drive The Hearse is a perfect closer to the song cycle too.

    Love them. I own everything from KIMB to Th1rte3n and have seen them live a bunch of times since my first show in 1998. I refuse to see them again live until they change up their setlist however. Favorite songs: Wake Up Dead Set The World Afire In My Darkest Hour Mary Jane Architecture Of Aggression High Speed Dirt Ashes In Your Mouth Reckoning Day A Secret Place FFF

    I'm pretty sure that "Losing It" was the last song they released with the sole purpose of being a studio piece and never playing it live. I'm sure the ones that followed were simply left off of setlists due to not having enough time to fit them in. And since they never rotate setlists, these unplayed songs just fell by the wayside in subsequent tours as the "hits" became the more likely choice as a particular album's live representation. I wonder if Rush ever regrets not being more adventurous with their sets. They only had one setlist throughout the entire goddamn Presto and HYF tours. Would it have killed them to shuffle more songs around on a nightly basis?

    Quality song. This needs to make a live comeback

    Great song. Glad MA finally saw the light as well

    I'd rather see Grand Designs, but I wouldn't complain about Middletown Dreams. Kid Gloves, The Enemy Within, and Open Secrets would be much appreciated too

    We've been lucky in Jersey so far. 18 days into January and there's only been maybe one or two I f***ing HATE WINTER days. I'll be more than happy to go through a 50 degree winter this year.

    One of my all-time favorite bands! Anxiously awaiting their 6th album with Eppard back on drums.

    Anyone a fan of this show? I love the cast/characters and the story lines are always pretty interesting. I like the idea of a bunch of a con-artists pulling scams like Ocean's 11. Plus the show is relatively lighthearted which is a welcome change from other serious crime shows.

    I wouldn't be upset at all. Too many setlists have been dominated by this album and coming off the heels of the TMT, now is the perfect time to let them rest a bit. Obviously TS will be played, but maybe that could be the only one.

    QUOTE (The K Man @ Jan 7 2012, 01:58 AM) The original Up the Downstair is a hundred times better than the bastardized remaster. I'll take the fake drums and the spacey-ness over Harrison's new fills and that horribly redone main lead in Burning Sky any day of the week. And, no, I am not saying that a drum machine is better than Gavin Harrison, but the fake drums were a huge part of the charm of that album, and the redone version sounds unnatural with the old sound and style combined with the new drums; it sounds uneven. Plus, some of the really cool drum fills were done completely different by Gavin. And again, don't even get me started on how Steven Wilson (who can usually do no wrong) completely sucked the life out of the Burning Sky lead. The original UTD is definitely better. I have ZERO interest in the remastered version. I had the same issue with the redone Shesmovedon that was on Deadwing. The original had great reverb and really sounded spacey, while the remaster just sounds too dry and "contained"

    UTD is a great album. Glad you enjoyed it. You might also want to check out a rare EP called Staircase Infinities, which is basically some b-sides from Up The Downstair. You might want to check out The Sky Moves Sideways and Voyage 34. TSMS is very Pink Floydish but also stands on its own as a great space rock album. Voyage 34 is very trippy and almost hypnotically ambient.

    DT begins touring again in a few weeks. Solo albums are mostly discussed/worked on via email nowadays so there's no reason why DT cannot be on tour simultaneously with JLB's solo album being written.

    I saw it last weekend. It was really good, though I'm curious to see what the movie had to edit out from the books as the movie was a little too fast paced during some of the parts.

    I think in general it's a good sign when bands finish recording quickly. It means they are not second-guessing decisions as much, not meandering to create music (aka lack of ideas), and basically capitalizing on the apparent energy of the music/experience. The music may sound more urgent than it has lately, which I would be very interested to hear.

    QUOTE (PolarizeMe @ Dec 30 2011, 10:59 AM) QUOTE (GrandDesigner @ Dec 30 2011, 08:00 AM) Great song. You might like their Up The Downstair album then, it's relatively similar. Out of all of their pre-Stupid Dream albums, Up the Downstair is probably their strongest album, and it's the shortest in length: 48 minutes. It's got a space rock meets prog rock vibe. I'd probably call Signify their strongest pre-SD album (and one of their strongest in general), but UTD has a very spacey, psychedelic vibe that I just love.
