His voice is so amazing -- still don't understand fully why he isn't bigger. But I did meet him in person and he wasn't very....in to it. He seemed like he didn't want to be there, that his fans were annoyances. 

Pity -- but still love his stuff.

 Jonathan_pa - thanks for the reference. I was trying like hell to place this song. I can remember the sequence when they played this song thinking, "damn, this is good." Watched the credits right through till the end to find out who it was, than did nothing with the information...until now.

This band's name 'does what it says on the tin' - a big, vast sound that demands massive amp stacks and volume up to 11. It's not quite the same coming out of laptop speakers, good though they are :(

Yet another reason I can't listen to terrestrial radio anymore.  It's either Satellite or RP.

Loved this. Masterful mix of styles. Why haven't I heard it before? When I hear it again I might have to bump it from an 8 to a 9. Anyone have any idea what these guys are doing now? Guess I ought to not be lazy and check for myself....

English major sez: I love this use of the word 'touched.' As if some higher force might reach down, brush against your temple, and make you a little crazy, in a mystic sort of way.

I actually think the Bulgarian women singers and that instrument at the end are the best thing about this song.  Very interesting.

Yes, this song demands a good cranking of the volume knob. If I would rate all my songs by the volume I want to play them at, this one gets a 10.
