Pedro! My long, lost friend! How goes it?

Not bad.. I was thinking of you yesterday when I was listening to CA on the headphones...

 

 

I think a bunch of the old Vegas crowd is saving up our funds to have a big meetup at the Vegas show next summer on the second leg. It would be awesome if you could make it!

I was talking about this with Wendy last night. They still have a few records in them.   ON! A few albums, yes... big tours, not so much. It's really too much at their age. I'm just hoping they'll still do shows in big cities like LA, Chicago, etc., at least we would still get a chance to see them.

One thing about Clockwork Angels it seems a lot shorter than 66 minutes. How many albums that last 60 minutes or over tend to drag towards the end? Quite a few, not this one!

I've got to disagree

 

At Headlong Flight I feel the album needs to come to a stop - and the last two tracks are favorites! So imagine that, it drags on regardless.

 

 

Here's some great concept albums that don't drag (all longer than CA):

 

click to listen.. maybe

I think SFAM could loose a few minutes in various places because of the over-self-indulgence (noodles too much).

As for metropolis pt 2, Home is the only track that I think they perhaps should have cut down on

I just wrote a thread in the live section about Vegas!   Wendy and I are there!! Where are we going to meet?   First round on me!!!         "Money talks, suckers walk, but you can't touch my three lock box!"

You just gotta keep listening to it over and over and over. Listen to it in the car, listen to it with headphones on with the lyric sheet, listen to it while on the computer and listen to it while drinking!

 

Eventually you'll get it!
