Now that they added the swyping feature, I have to agree. Before that I was always torn between Swype for speed and SwiftKey for its superior text prediction/correction.

First time around I missed what Dennis says to Mac during the "rape scene" after the lights go off cause the volume wasn't high enough. When I caught it the next time, that's probably the hardest...

I actually like the end a lot, but find the middle to drag rather badly. "Girl" is decent, the others are skippable.

Standouts: Whisper, An Escape, Sweet Naivete, Let Go, Viscous Place

Awesome. Have to admit that even in my excitement, I was a little anxious about HGOSB given their lackluster output as Water & Bodies. Sounds like they're right back on track, though.

Watched "Mac and Charlie Die" the other day, and I think I decided Part I is my favorite episode of the series.

I think these guys were probably my favorite new band of the 2000s, in restrospect. The Effloresce-EIP-Frames trilogy is simply flawless, and then you throw in Music for Nurses, quite possibly the...

I'd agree Hearsong is the weak link of the record, but Junesong is phenomenal. Really love the juxtaposition of the traditional punk/emo verses with such a melodic, proggy prechorus/chorus.

I like NIN, but this really isn't even close, and I'm shocked at the results so far. Tool is almost perfect in every facet -- composition/writing, instrumental performance, lyrics, vocals. Every...

First impressions: I don't love the whole thing, but the high points are much higher than Embryonic for me. Getting a strong Kid A vibe at times, especially the beginning.

I'm right with you there. I've found that with both Afterman discs, after a week or two of heavy play, their main effect has been to make me go back and spin the first three records nonstop. Really...

The "irony" to me is that so many people continued switching to Macs even after Win 7 was released, often citing erroneous "problems" that essentially don't exist anymore. Though, to be realistic,...

I tend only to buy when there are "deals" so maybe I'm focused too much on that. But I will say I got my 96 GB mid-range drive in June 2011 from Amazon for $90 shipped. Looking around now, nearly two...

I think it's the highlight of the record, but it's also the one track where the lo-fi, fuzzy production doesn't quite work as well. It could be even better if it the guitars were more distorted and...

lol... it's almost impossible for me to pick a single favorite C&C song, but gun to my head, I'd probably go with Willing Well I.

On the other hand, I've never cared for The Final Cut much at all....

What's not to get? It's an epic on the scale of the IKS title track or Willing Wells. Three or four different "movements," each with riffs and melodic ideas that would constitute a great song all on...
