Then they released Damnation, and I read that it was all soft vocals and I scooped it up. Loved every minute of it. Picked up Lamentations (their DVD) and enjoyed it, and was stunned to hear a song in the first set (the "quiet" set if you will) that was not on the Damnation album called "Harvest." I heard that set 2 would be far more aggressive, and I just left it to run through as I did other things in the house. And somehow, it grew on me.

*Sidenote: Mikael Aukerfeldt had a part in Ayreon's: The Human Equation CD that mixed a couple growls, with mostly Damnation style singing. The growls served a purpose though on the album and worked quite well.

I know I'll probably get beat for this, but I'd like Coldplay alot more if Chris Martin would cut back on all the falsetto and work on his lyrics.

Opeth without the growling? Gorillaz without rap? I dunno, they seem like key elements to each band's success.
I'd like the White Stripes more with a better drummer. Don't get me wrong, great band, but I think they could be better.

The drummer is what makes the White Stripes!! Unbridled, furious passion on a drumkit!

Lemmy (of Motorhead, of course) once had this to say about Yngwie:
"Do you know why Yngvie J. Malmsteen includes the J in the spelling of his name?"
"Why?" I asked.
"To seperate him from all the other fucking Yngwie Malmsteens in the phonebook, that's why!"
<much laughter ensued>

(Can't Jack White find a fake brother or cousin for this role?)
