on the extra computer activated stuff on the physicist cd i thought devin said something that implied he wasnt happy with jupiter originally but it seemed to fit the cd when he listened to it again high on magic mushrooms

I rest my case

OM, Infinity, Terria is the trinity... well thats what most people think anyway

How would you measure most people and why or how would it matter?

oh

...and another thing, why stop at three?

the majority of people think of those three as the best... smartass

All I remember him saying about it is that he was trying to write speed metal that wasn't heavy/angry.

I actually regard City, OM, and Infinity as the trinity. My reasoning for this is because City and OM were basically written at the same time, and deal with the same themes, just in different ways, and Infinity seems, in my mind, to be a sort of resolution to those themes and questions. The proximity and close linkage of themes between the 3 is why I always seem to refer to those 3 particular albums as related.

I think Physicist is a great album. I do agree with with Dev that it was a step sideways (I'd consider it a little diagonal) but it's still a fun album. All the energy of SYL without the hate. I also tend to like Jupiter. Ah well.

I love Jupiter, just love the melody to it.

Physicist, I feel was kind of a sideward step though, it wasn't a step back at all, but it was a stab at something different. It gave him a chance to do something heavy, but not SYL heavy. The songs are written in a more song to song style, and they're all pretty melodic (outside of the trilogy).

Not melodic? To me 'The Complex' is the most beautiful track on the album! I've never heard a song that is both dauntingly heavy and stunning beautiful at the same time.

"And you're not the only one..."

Amazing.

I absolutely love this album. In-fact, I think I'll crank it when I have a shower later. All good!!
