God fuckin damn am I getting annoyed with some of these replies to my posts in the last few days. This is like the 6th time I'm going to make something bigger because of people's inabilities to read.

Since this isn't exactly clear to some people, I thought I'd explain myself.
Thinking, is an opinion. To too many of you people, opinions aren't allowed, and we have to be hippies.
* David is not a hippy.
Preference, is what you choose to listen to, because it is more pleasing to the ear (for you personally). Talent, is the amount of skill, time, complexity, and length of achievement something takes, compared to the rest of people doing it. Talent, doesn't necessarily mean it's your preference. Preference, despite popular belief on many onilne forums, DOES very from person to person.
I know what you're thinking, I was shocked too when I found that one out.

That's the mature way of handling things. Peace and out

I
respect your
opinion.
And shaman, point out to me where I said this:

I didn't reply like that, and infact, your reply was more along the lines of that than mine.
* David would like to report himself, but that little ! box isn't there on his posts...
On another note:

It doesn't take nearly as long to train your voice to growl as it does to sing like LaBrie. That's all I was getting at.
And Drew, yeah! I'm glad to see someone else liking LaBrie's album! I think what a lot of people are doing, is listening to teh first 30 seconds of each song, and then going NOPE! next song... Just like all the DT style songs, there's always a 30-40 second intro of pointlessness.
As soon as the chorus kicks in though, man are those amazing. The first minute and a half, or 2 minutes of each song are pretty average on that CD, but it all is to help build up the tension to the chorus, where it just explodes.
