This great sentence should not go overlooked.
Pretty sure a character in something I write someday is gonna deliver that line.

Hey Rudd - If you did get kidnapped, would you have asked them what their favorite matt cameron song is?

I might have tried to first get a feel for the room by asking who their favorite PJ drummer was.

Ruddo, they're terrorists, they're not monsters. Clearly they would be MC fans.

Yeah but there's always that one guy that is a little out of control and doesn't think enough is being done. "Dave A. is the best, you infidel! BANG! BANG! BANG!"

The lyrics aren't much to write home about, but You Are is still one of the coolest songs they've ever done.

Let Cameron Write!


Also this album has aged really well on the whole. Probably the last breath of their prime, tbh.

On record, yes. That ST tour was pretty awesome, though.

Very true. Glad 06 was last tour I followed for multiple shows.

ST the album isn't all that bad either. There are some missteps and I don't like it as much as RA, but it's a pretty solid album despite the way it sounds. 2006 is probably the last year I REALLY loved them. I mean, I still do, but it's not the same.
