Well that's a very nice thing to do. Has it been hard resisting the advances of the women whom inevitably feel a bit safer hitting on you at your current hair length?

:lol... you know, I haven't really been straight-up hit on much more than I usually am (except for that one waitress) but a lot of women compliment me on my hair now and sometimes I wonder if that's code or something.

Well I don't recall whether or not you're still with Tony but if not, then live a little. God knows women are meant to have carefree fun in places not limited to just Crystal Light commercials.

 :lol

It's a long story. I do miss women...

Wonderful way to phrase it. We talked about that back in the day but never actually did it. I'm in...

I've given it some thought, and I think they're both decent but not great albums, and I really have no preference whatsoever.

Am I the only progressive metal fan who thinks that Promised Land was when Queensryche started to suck?

Oh, I am? Carry on then.  :P

How the hell did Promised Land win anything?   

That's the one Queensryche record I have and it has effectively stopped me from purchasing anything else by them.

Promised Land can be a difficult listen at first, especially if you were used to their sound already, or if you had expectations of what they would sound like.  It was a bit of a WTF for me at first (I only knew Empire and Mindcrime by them at that point), but I stuck with it, and with each listen, a different song would jump out at me as being rad as hell for whatever reason, and before I knew it, I was completely addicted to it.  To this day, it is still a top 25 all-time record in my book. :coolio
