I'm just glad I kept away from the previews this time. 100% a better experience on first listens.

True dat. I like to look back once in a while to see all that hasn't been accomplished haha.

A moment of silence for the last 5 years that have been lost. Fuck. I was just a boy back then.

Nooo I love SMAL. I'd take it over MC, which I still think is a good song. I like the how the solo continues for a few notes after the final chorus comes in. Little things, but I appreciate them. The Other Side reminds me of the Uninvited for some reason. I mean, musically I guess it's not the same,...

X-Pac's face always amuses me in this clip. He looks genuinely enlightened.

It's a lonely world sig making these days. I miss the old days

Can't find any recent Mark pics that I want to use. Loads of cracking shots of Myles in the smoke (Easy to edit) but no HQ ones of Mark.

If they've released it accidentally and people have received it then they might as well make it available. Not like they can recall it anyway, plus it's not fair on everyone else

Academy! Good memory friend.

Ha, reminds me of an AB gig I went to years ago in Manchester. Can't remember what year it was, but it was the year before they first played MEN arena. Modest little venue and some inbred's to our left tried to start a mosh pit. I can't remember what song it was but it wasn't even a head banger. Any...

I would have saved that PRS drive forever.

Gash quality. USB part started coming out of it's housing like TB said. All I did was take it out of the port. Shame the sound quality was also gash.

If Myles pulled his finger out and mastered some polyphonic overtone singing he could do all the layers at the same time

I think the heavy stuff is displayed on Marks solo projects. I don't think that level of heavy is who AB are. I mean, if my gran had wheels she'd be a bike, if my aunt had bollocks she'd be my uncle. Question then: If I have a shovel, and the handle breaks. I replace it. Is it still the same shovel?...

We like the boom boom.

I guess, but I mean a lot of us came in on ODR's, and that wouldn't really be classed as heavy (comparatively), so heavier wasn't what piqued our interest initially.

Don't fret. The 3 releases (Sources suggest) aren't the strongest songs on the album. Although I do genuinely love SMAL. I have time for the other two, I like the licks in MC, I agree the lyrics are a little generic though. Personally I don't see why 'heavier' always seems to be a measure of improve...

I've heard that This Side Of Fate is killer. 6:48, which I believe is the longest song on the album.

that doesn't make an illegal activity legal Of course not. Also it takes away a lot of the buzz a release day should bring.. which will hurt sales numbers and social activity numbers.. which influence radio and other media again.. Perhaps, but in theory it could increase ticket sales for shows occu...

Just going back to the 'Leaks hurt sales' comments. Could it not be argued that those that obtained it illegally would have done it on release anyway? All it's changed is the date they download it surely? Hypothetically, if I were to purchase an album but it leaked, I wouldn't personally have any mo...

Intentionally though, it's like a theme
