Do you listen to APC as well? I have all the Tool albums, but haven't gotten around to Maynard's side projects yet.

I would rank them all in this order (best to worst)

 

Undertow

Lateralus

Ænima

10,000 Days

Opiate

 

Been a while since I have listened to some of them so I could be a little off. 10.000 Days has some good songs (love #2) but it could have been better.

You are missing some great stuff then. I listen to a lot of the songs everyday because they are on my work playlist.

To Conquer the Air - Just awesome history book. I was blown away.

Music- Mates of State- Bring it Back (Amazing duo)

Mirah - Advisory Committee

The Roots - Game Theory

Team Dresch- Personal Best (they just reunited!)

The Coup - Kill My Landlord (the best political rap band dare I say ever)

[Darrell F]

Undertow

 

"Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses!"

 

I had to go back and listen to it again the first time I head that lyric.

Very good stuff. I will have to buy an album or two...

[Ze-man]

In the car I listen to childrens nursury rhymes, and Laurie Berkner!

 

Ellen does like to headbang with me when I get my turn at the radio and we rock out for awhile. But then she informs me my time is over.

 

Aside from late night comic reading, I am reading "The Nasty Bits" by Anthony Bourdain, the wife is reading The Book Thief.

 

Greta bought me Claptons new album for Christmas. And the new Shins album is on the way for her.

Stereo:

 

The Bees 'Free The Bees'

 

 

Anything PJ Harvey

 

 

Bookshelf:

 

The Analyst by John Katzenback: Trashy (but totally compelling) thriller.

 

Crossing the Rubicon by Mike Ruppert: One for my fellow 'conspiracy nut jobs'!!!

 

The Complete History of Jack the Ripper by Philip Sugden: Only just dipped into this one.

[Norrin_Radd]

I liked this thread the first time I started it, so I figure it's time to do it again.

 

That seems to be the theme in Comics General lately.

 

 

Stereo: I'm listening to every Led Zeppelin album starting from the beginning. A friend at work got me interested and burnt me some copies. I know a lot of the songs of course, but I never listened to the albums. I'm on their second album now. I've also been watching some videos of them on youtube.

 

 

Bookshelf: Just finished re-reading Going Postal by Terry Pratchett. This was the first book of his that my wife & I read in 2005. Since then we've read most of his Discworld books. Going Postal is still my favorite though, so my wife bought it for me for Christmas.
