So that's why you think my music has anything to with the music I think is ****. If I were around back then I would've told you to go to punk shows until you understood.

1. Your first sentence is so incomprehensible I'm lost.

2. I completely understand punk you dullard. 10x more than you understand prog and an artist like Steven Wilson. Don't you even try to talk down to me on this subject.

You always drop the predictable "well that's quite an opinion from someone who throws firecrackers at a dishwasher and calls it music" fallback line.

2. I know punk. You don't know punk like I know prog! Check out this lame prog that I'm all about.
Whatever dude. You said yourself that you're no punk expert.

Did you even listen to the youtube clip? Did you even try opening your mind? Did you even enjoy it in the tiniest bit? Van Vliet would have loved that **** and you know it.

When you've been burned too many times you learn not to touch the stove. I'll guess I'll pause this **** I'm watching and listen to it.

Definitely the best thing I've ever heard from him, but still only a 6/10 song. The guy on woodwinds ruled and there were definitely some interesting riffs and transitions, but there was also a lot of boring noodling on the synth, ideas overstaying their welcome, and oh god Steven Wilson's terrible voice.
