It's more like... you know how dogs sometimes drag their asses across the carpet? It's more like that.

I'm glad you gentlemen have something to do when your dog doesn't have to go.

Fully 1/3rd of ---'s posts are in PJ chat.
Over half of Wendy Carlos's Twin's posts are in PJ chat.
Only 25% of Chud's, but granted that is over 4000 posts.

What do we make of this?

I'd love to hear some demos from this record..i usually like the demos more than the album(ST demos were great) these could be even better.

LB is my favourite since Binaural - it had the longest staying power, and overall enjoyment compared to the past 3. If I had to find a weak link on the album it's LTRP which is sub-par, and then throws off the flow at the end.

Speaking of the end the album, I find it's the best part: YM, SBM and FD are all great.

Probably Ed's vocals. When I first heard this I thought he sounded pretty good but now I dunno what I was thinking. He's warbling all over. I know that's just how he sounds now, but I think it's the worst part about the album. Im trying not to go song by song. Im trying to take the 'major flaw' thing to be literal and be concise.
