How come nobody has the Paper Airplane Pilots on their list? It's a crime.

The ending of "Old Haunts" is ace, but the rest of it didn't stick for me.

Don't start, Tim.
I did a whole thread on this and got called a bastard for it.

Learn from my mistakes... which apparently are many.

No, you've got some diverse stuff on there and about 10 of my top 20.

It's confirmed. We can hang.

I was listening to Fox Confessor last night and after my initial meh feeling I think it may be an album that will be deemed universally a classic after a few years have passed.

Something timeless about it.

Wow. You might be the only person in the world to place Tool at the top of their year end list.

I'll have to give it another spin. The first try didn't do much for me but Tool is a band that slowly worms their weird melodies into your head after repeated listenings.

That can be said of all of Neko's music. I wasn't initially impressed with Fox Confessor, but it grew on me and will end up somewhere in my Top 10.
I :heart: NEKO.

Just kidding, Colin. I applaud your chutzpah for not bending to the collective whims of TEH OB.

WOAH!...Buckcherry

I remember enjoying the hell of their first disc back in the day...I guess this one is more of the same?

'Tis. Not as great as the first, but quite a few good rock tunes. Certainly a few steps up from Time Bomb.
