As I know, Anesthetize will be full on DVD. I can't wait.

About Normal and Sentimental... Try to listen to both songs together, read lyrics and I guess you will find some similarities.
These songs compare live style of teenagers and old people. Both have same topic and melody is also same in some parts - part "kids stay"



Normal

Here is my car, my phone and my TV
I've got it all but you can see through me

But am I here?
It's kind of hard to tell I do a good impression of myself
But what's normal now anyhow?

Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way they wish away each day

Prescription drugs they help me through the day
And that restraining order keeps me well at bay
But what's normal now anyway?

Wish I was old and a little sentimental
You gotta see the waves, not the wine bottle



Sentimental

I never wanna be old
And I don't want dependents
It's no fun to be told
That you can't blame your parents anymore
I'm finding it hard to hang from a star
Don't wanna be I don't wanna be old

Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way they wish away each day

I don't really know
If I care what is normal
And I'm not really sure
If the pills I've been taking are helping
I'm wasting my life
Hurting inside
I don't really know
And I'm not really sure?..

Oh, okay.
What is your top 5?


Ah, thanks for the comparrison! I will have a listen/think in the morning

[Petula07]

Ok. I am sure you will hear it, just play it together

Albums or songs?
Hmm, not easy to say. Too many loved songs. But now it's probably like this...
1. Gravity eyelids
2. Blackest eyes
3. Russia on ice
4. Anesthetize
5. Arriving somewhere but not here

And with albums...
1. Deadwing
2. In Absentia
3. The Incident
4. FOABP
5. Lightbulb sun / Stupid dream - I can't decide

[mrguy]

I meant albums.

I don't think I could choose a top 5 :p

[Seltzer]

Mine would probably be something like this:

Albums:
1.) Stupid Dream
2.) Deadwing
3.) Fear of a Blank Planet
4.) Lightbulb Sun
5.) In Absentia

Songs:
1.) A Strange Kid
2.) Deadwing
3.) Synesthesia
4.) FOABP
5.) Drown With Me

Man that was hard!

[mrguy]

This is the best I can do.

1st equal; Deadwing, Lightbulb sun
2nd equal; Stupid Dream, Fear of Blank Planet
3rd; The Incident

and In Absentia floats about.


(I just ranked all the album I had). Signify and Nil Recurring have been ordered.

[DiSTANToblivion]

Okay I'll give it a shot:

Albums:
1./ Fear Of A Blank Planet
2./ Lightbulb Sun
3./ Deadwing
4./ In Absentia
5./ Up The Downstair

Songs:
1./ Anesthetize
2./ The Rest Will Flow
3./ Heartattack In A Lay By
4./ Russia On Ice
5./ Burning Sky

...hmm I hate leaving stuff out

[Petula07]

Yes, it's very hard to choose something because it is sooo different.

I guess for this 5. place I have to add also Signify. This album has really amazing atmosphere.

[mrguy]

It just shows how brilliant the band is when it's so hard to make a simple list.

Lightbulb sun is definitelly between my top 5 albums, I love track Russia on ice soooo much.

It's probably my favourite track. When I went to see them they asked for requests but they never played it. The guy I went to see them with saw them again in Germany where he is now living and he said they played it. I was gutted!
