I read few of the first pages and it kinda made me sad.. People should really listen to the band with thought before making incorrect arguments like "You too can be a genius by playing the same 4 notes for half an hour."

What I like in GY!BE is that you always find something new when listening to the songs you've already heard a thousand times. And the 4 note argument is just wrong. The songs build up with many instruments and emotional melodies that just break you in to pieces (Storm, Moya, Sleep etc.) and the songs usually have three parts that climb up and blend in to the other parts.

I'm really lucky to see them next year. Next month actually if I remember correctly
