FUCK FACEBOOK. I want to read it !

As soon as I heard OTBOA I noticed the Pull Me Under inspiration straight away. If they have intentionally stuck to pre-established charts, then I guess they technically have given the fans what they wanted; Old school DT.

DarkLord_Lalinc · September 05, 2011, 05:03:09 PM

I have no problem with that.

Anyone care to Copy pasta for us non-FB folk ( yes we exist

)

Just because PMU and OTBOA have the same structure, doesn't mean they are alike in their mood and style.

Um Thiago's talking about album specifics here...and definitely not from just the snips. Is it ok to post that right now? I suppose the album reviews that are coming out are doing it as well to some extent...

That was a fascinating read... it's totally amped up the anticipation for me. Unfortunately it's going to be hard work trying to listen to the album for the first time without unconsciously making comparisons to their Images counterparts. Should make for some lively discussions here after the release, though.

Amen. The moods are entirely different on those songs.

Looks like this guy is trying very hard. 'twas a nice read, though.

Jamesman42 · September 05, 2011, 05:22:03 PM

Well, it's cool to see him compare the structures of the songs

VioletS16 · September 05, 2011, 05:47:13 PM

I don't have a facebook...I'll have to log in as Mom. Oh well, she won't mind

EDIT: Ok, so I read it. Very cool but very confusing too. Haha

I don't know anything about strong structures!

No.

Go read it on facebook if you want. This is not a review from an official reviewer who was sent a promo copy for review. Interesting though it may be, it won't be discussed here until after the release date.
