What's your favourite TMV anlbum;
and when did his singing style change?

How are those unrelated?

I think I like De-loused the best.

Loused > Bedlam > Frances > Amputechture > Octahedron

I don't know, but there are clear jumps between Relationship of Command, De-Loused, and Bedlam.

Pure Reason Revolution - Hammer and Anvil (2010)

An EP's worth of ideas stretched out to an LP. Take some time off guys and go back and listen to what made you great.

I think he started using more vocal effects on Bedlam...if I recall.

Danny Barnes - Pizza Box

I was quite excited when I heard of this guy. A bluegrass, punk, jazz fusion? That's my kind of bush. And indeed, the music is quite interesting. Unfortunetly, this guy is a singer-songwriter so the arrangements are taylored toward his vocals - which in themselves aren't bad (quite nice drawl actually). The big problem comes is with the idiotic lyrics and subject matter. Just about every song is about "a woman", and with corny lines like "we making love with the radio on" , there just feels like a total lack of artistry, despite the fairly interesting musical premise.

This particular album is mostly bluegrass/rock flair, however. So maybe his other stuff is better. I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt because I jumped blindly into his discog and started with this album.

...and he started singing like a distressed cat.

WTF, Bixler, WTF.

My favorite album of theirs.

They are not the same band anymore.

This album reminded me why I don't listen to Korn anymore. There music starts to sound the same once you start listening to more than one song other than Freak on a Leash. I went into this thinking that I would thoroughly enjoy the band I so loved when I was 15. Instead, I was completley let down. This album just proves that all Nu - Metal bands are garbage. I'd really like someone to name just one that's worth a listen. I no longer enjoy this kind of music I guess it's just because I'm no longer some moody teenager.

Listened to this for the first time in ages. It's by no means a bad album but I don't get people who call it their favourite Bowie album. The title track is ok but aside from that there are no real standout tracks.
