Beastie!

DefyingMortality


Regarding Neal, the trend of pseudo-Christian lyrics in TA started with the entirety of the second album.

'Zactly. My intro to Neal was Bridge Across Forever, and when I found out later that his solo career was Christian, I wasn't the slightest bit surprised.

You are right.
But it was a different kind of lyrics than for example on Testimony, wouldn't you agree?

I haven't yet heard Testimony, but from the reviews, it seems overtly religious. I'll admit that it takes a little thinking to find those themes in TA.

Testimony is definitely overtly religious in nature - but not preachy imo. I'm an atheist and it is one of my favourite albums ever. Do not be put off by the subject matter. The music is far too good to allow minor shit like that to deprive you of a potentially euphoric musical experience!

Oh, I doubt the lyrics will bother me. I just haven't gotten around to ordering the album yet

I think Pete Trewavas has got to be the most un-photogenic person ever. He just looks so awkward in every photo!

Does anybody know the reason why it is that there are not too few albums of late which are released earlier in Europe and especially Germany, Switzerland and Austria than in the rest of the world?

you're from germany, so what's the worry ?? :P we're just so super-cool, that's why!!!!
 
seriously: I think that's the case because the german-speaking countriers are a major prog market + insideout.de is german and a very major prog label (????)

So you are from Germany and just living in Austria or native Austrian?

Was just interested and my only thought was the inside-out-thing.

A friend of mine did an ERASMUS student exchange and was in Groningen for a half year.
I visited him and enjoyed my stay there a lot.
You guys there made a good impression on me!
Really kind people...

What do you like about the german language?
The most non-german speaking people say that it is difficult to learn, because of the declensions and stuff...

The best dutch expression is:
Dank je wel!

It's hilarious, because the "english-german-mix"...

It wasn't me. But, check out the pink alien dude on the right checking out Pete's butt.

Is there a second camera that Pete was looking at?

Can anyone be of any assistance to me here?

Radiant records won't load up for me and i'm getting the same problems with Neal's site. Is it just me?

Weird. Both are loading normally for me... check using this:

Thanks dude. It's just me.

Perfect timing :(

I just don't understand.

Probably something to do with your Internet Service Provider. I suggest using a proxy, but since its an online transaction, that's a BIG no-no while using proxies.

Well, if your ISP is the same as gaz, its probably because the site is blocked by your ISP. Do contact them when possible.

I'm with Optus. Really wierd, it works when I access it through my phone...
Actually radiant wasn't working when I tried it awhile ago either, I haven't been back in months though. Luca, is Neal's site working for you or no?

I'd be mega-pissed if this is an oversight from that internet-censorship BS, hahah...

Hell yeah! Trailer looks and sounds AWESOME! And a making of...What can I say. This album's going to rule our collective asses.

Ordered!!! 

This is when it pays off to live on the west coast and be a night person. 

Pre-ordered the box-set from Radiant.  I think this is the first time I've ever ordered CDs from overseas.  Hopefully it goes well.

I threw Shaming of the True in my order as well - I've been a naughty boy, listening to a downloaded version of the album for a while, so I figured now would be a good time to buy it.  Anyone out there who hasn't put their order in to Radiant yet, make sure and put Shaming of the True in there, as it's a fucking marvellous album.

Ordered the Deluxe Edition + So Many Roads from Radiant yesterday.

So much to look forward to, yay! :-D

You can also pre-order from amazon.de

If you have an amazon account anywhere else you can login and I don't know any German, but it's easy enough to put an order through.
