i go through phases where i forget about things...
i go through phases where i listen to a lot of one
artist, and then i need to rediscover others. i
haven't listened to SM in a while... when the whole
perfect album thread was going around, i forgot
about 'em... SMI is definitely there, and i think
i'd probably put SMII on there, too... the Legend
ones? no.

agreed. also, sam west's drumming on SMI is great.
he's a surprisingly great drummer. his work with
marc solomon and stavesacre is pretty wicked. trk
4 ("inclusive") for their 2nd album, absolutes, is
proof positive.
i agree, though- their albums have gone downhill in
overall listenability for me. for me, it's more of
a "too wordy" thing. i still enjoy it now & again.

that wasn't me. for me, what they believe is what
they believe- not what i believe. if they think
the world was coming to an end in 2000, then so be
it. i still like the music. i think eric's claims
may have been more in line with what he was doing
with Legend. if he truly believed that, well, we
know that he's probably changed his outlook on it
by now. :)
Shelter the mind of remorse
Wallow in the heart of the liar
Steal by the soul and the force of the nail
As they follow the body of fire
