  1. I feel like most of my favorite albums have incredible openers/closers, so this is hard to narrow down.

    I agree with a bunch listed so far. Some of my favorites on top of those:

    Thrice - Kill me Quickly (+Firebreather, +Broken Lungs, +Cold Cash)

    Sparta - Cut Your Ribbon

    Against Me! - TSR

    Just about every Strike Anywhere opener

    Chuck Ragan - The Boat

    Gunmoll - Less Than You Hoped For

    Motion City Soundtrack - Cambridge

    Damien Rice - 9 Crimes

  2. Just a guess: The subscription series was only ordered by a ridiculously low amount of people, far less than the 300 sets offered. Hence no money to finish the final two seven inches. (And didn't VC give copies of Vol. 1.5.1 away during one of those cheap stuff sales? That would support the assumption of low initial sales.)

    Might be wrong, so Virgil should feel free to correct me...

    I think you're dead on, but it's irrelevant. If you're only pressing them as you get the cash, then you sell one at a time, individually. Not as a subscription that is not going to be fulfilled. I, for one, was waiting until they were all released to buy, simply to save on shipping...now looks like it was a good decision for bigger reasons than that.

  3. It needs to be able to push that recorded content to an external hard drive.

    Agreed. It seems simple enough. I don't know why this isn't standard on any DVR type box these days. I want to be able to watch recorded content on my computer and downloaded/ripped content on my TV.

  4. Last I heard, what record stores were in Jacksonville had closed. I could be missing something, but I don't think you'll have much luck. Gainesville has a few decent stores, about 1.5 hrs away, I think the Daytona Beach area has a store, but I've never been there. Orlando would probably be your best bet, but I think that's about a three hour drive.

  5. I hated Cabin Fever, too, but the entire movie is worth watching for the part where Dennis yells "Pancakes!" jumps off the porch and starts some martial arts routine. So great. Last time it was on syfy I recorded it just so I could fastforward to that part and watch it over and over.

    That said, I've enjoyed a few exorcism movies, but generally they are pretty bad. This poster has my interest though.

  6. I think this sounds fun. I always wanted them to bring a few horn players with them for the few songs that feature a horn section, but I'm sure it wasn't really practical. However, had I seen them with some random fifth member standing in the back getting no recognition whatsoever I would have been really bummed. Alkaline Trio had a fourth member the only time I saw them, standing in the shadows, playing the more complex guitar parts as far as I could tell. I've always kinda held a grudge on Matt Skiba for that... If you're going to bring extra members out on tour at least give them some credit.

  7. I was really disappointed with Anthem also. I never hated it, it has some really good songs, it was just a letdown overall. And I never understood why they rerecorded "Look What Happened" one album after it was originally released, I still like the B&B version better. In With... was just completely unmemorable (is that a word?) to me. I bought it right when it came out, listened to it a few times, and haven't since. I guess I started listening to them less in general, so I was more than content with their earlier records.

  8. Also, there is no way it will come anywhere near being as good as this one

    Seriously, that was exactly my first thought. It's like "Eh, this could be a good epic movie, but it was a better Mel Brooks movie!"

    I also agree with the gladiator comparison. While the story is obviously different, everything else just seems too similar from the preview.

    I'm sure I will watch (and enjoy) this when it's out to rent, but I'm not rushing to see it or anything.

  9. eh...didn't miss much on the B-Ham date man...pretty lack-luster performance...I miss when they seemed to give it their all, the Breckenridge boys still seems to be enjoying it, but Dustin and Tepei at least look like they don't care much up there...Dustin apparently can't scream anymore I noticed...and their guitar tone was beyond bothersome....plus the house-mix for them sucked...it was all kick-drum and toms

    That's no good. I've never been disappointed by them, hopefully they were just in a slump around that time. I have noticed their guitar tones being off at times. With all the digital effects they've started using I think it's just very hit or miss.
