And you've sucked since June 22, 2005. I was unaware of your existence back then, I wish I could say the same for today.

Right on, Deadwing!! {#Yes}

Attention PT fans (and I'm a BIG one). Do yourself a favor. If you can't see one of their shows, pick up the DVD's of their live performances on Anesthetize and Arriving Somewhere. Watching and experiencing this band perform live is another level you aren't getting by just listening to their music. Steven Wilson and the entire band are soooo excellent live. I have to break out these DVD's regularly. Listening to a CD just isn't the same as seeing them perform.

Your angst is obvious. Why don't you tell that elephant to take his foot off of your foot.

Many folks think P.T. is a great group and crank their speakers waaaay up.. all you have to do

is push that little button marked mute for 3 min. and attempt to conquer your own private elephant......

For comparison, listen to Tinto Brass a few years later with the entire band.

No Scott, we won't kick you off. You are entitled to your opinion as are we. The key is to not get personal or go into it too much. Some of us do that, even me on occasion.

But Porcupine Tree is a great band, even if they don't work for you. And I think that the point we're making is that if they (Porcupine Tree) don't do it for you, then stay off this part of the site. We don't care for your negative opinions. We love PT and you don't ,fine. But get outta our faces. Okay?

I also looked at your ratings. You're f'd up! You give great reviews to the Cure, and terrible ones to Depeche Mode. You give some great ratings to some Grateful Dead songs and then terrible ones to others. I think that you're conflicted.

Here's the solution. Next time PT comes on RP, go to the window, open it and scream as loud and as long as you can. You're from Wyoming, so the chances that anyone hears you is really, really remote. By the time you're done PT will be over and your mind will be clear to pick on something else that is on RP.

If that doesn't work, then at least your neighbor in the next county will know that you are as messed up as we already know you are!{#Yell}
 
Did anyone even see the comment I was responding to? That said people who don't like PT should be kicked off of RP? You people can listen to whatever you want. I listen to RP all day every day so I certainly don't need to "troll" the PT song comments. I just come over and give them a rating and respond once in a while to something someone says. You can post all sorts of replies to me here and I won't see them until the next time I hear this song which I hope will be a long long time . As opposed to the real trolls who go thru each song by an artist and rate them a 1 whether they've heard them or not. Which by the way explains how I get a wide range of ratings for a band like the Dead. I can listen to a few of their songs and enjoy them, most of them I don't care about one way or the other, and some of them are ghastly. I don't rate them all a 1 just because overall I don't care for the band, just as you should not rate all PT songs a 10 because you love the band. They can't all be gems, can they? If this is a 10, what about their better songs?
 
Paragraph! If you're equating the Cure and Depeche Mode, I guess just because they're British and "new wave," then you have no business commenting on my music tastes. They're as different as night and day and one of them is a lot better than the other.
 
Now, as far as staying out of song comments: What? I'm not allowed to or supposed to say when I hear something I don't like? If nobody ever posted negative comments, we'd still be listening to this.

Not true. Staircase infinities is bundled with Up the Downstair. So you get two albums for the price of one!

That's not what is bothering Scott from out west. Not by a long shot. He's just super incensed that his government would hide sensitive, critical information from him.

He is making sure that nobody tramples all over on it. He's a Constitutional integrity-troller. Hugs and kisses.
