am I on track?
I'm pretty drunk, so don't try too hard. ICP have their own thing that they've been doing since almost day one. Iced Earth have concepts that in the 90s were album specific, but when they creatively stalled they started trying to connect albums with a phony mythos. I gave the concept way too much credit by saying anything other than that it was stupid. I don't know why I even compared the two groups other than a vague similarity in their approach.
