The Trans-Siberian Orchestra

[Hobbit]

I just picked up "The Lost Christmas Eve" on clearance for $5, and it is worth at least 5 times that. This orchestra has one of the most awesome sounds I've ever heard. I mean, it's a Christmas album, and I like it this much, and I HATE Christmas albums (too much time working retail with Musak). Anybody who hasn't heard them yet should do so as soon as possible.

Oh, you poor dear child... If you're just NOW hearing them, you've missed so much. Their concerts can't possibly be beat. Musical geniuses.

Crawl away from the bubble.

I'm assuming you guys have heard of Dream Theater, then. Yes?

My friend Will is their biggest fan.

They don't have nearly enough BASS for D, tho.

They're a goofy band:

The Great Debate

What if someone said
Promise lies ahead
Hopes are high in certain scientific circles
Life won't have to end
You could walk again

What if someone said
Problems lie ahead
They've uncovered something highly controversial
The right to life is strong
Can't you see it's wrong

Human kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide
Or the white coat heroes
Searching for a cure

Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake

Anarchistic moral vision
Industries of death
Facing violent opposition
Unmolested breath

Ethic inquisitions breed
Antagonistic views
Right wing soundbyte premonitions
In a labyrinth of rules

Are you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life
Life to save life
Taking life to save life

This embryonic clay
Wrapped in fierce debate
Would be thrown away
Or otherwise discarded

Some of us believe
It may hold the key
To treatment of disease
And secrets highly guarded

Are you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life
Life to save life
Life to save life

Humankind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide
Or to white coat heroes

Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake

We're reaching
But have we gone too far

Harvesting existence
Only to destroy
Carelessly together
We are sliding

Someone else's future
Four days frozen still
Someone else's fate
We are deciding

Miracle potential
Sanctity of life
Faced against each other
We're divided

Should we push the boundaries
Or should we condemn
Moral guilt and science
Have collided

Turn to the light
We defy our own mortality these days
Turn to the light
Pay attention to the questions we have raised

Bass is a good thing. Don't mock it.

You really could hear those JL Audio 10s pounding bass THROUGH the phone?

No bass = no band.

...you don't understand what I heard coming out of his speakers when returning a phone call.. There's bass, and then there's BASS.

My dad was a HiFi salesman in college. His boss always said that "sub-woofers are for sub humans." While I do like me some bass, I'm inclined to agree.

Your dad's boss sure missed out on a vital part of the musical spectrum.

No offense, but, your dad's boss is an idiot. :gross2: I can only assume he was referring to tastelessly applied bass, in which case he's correct. Well done bass is a wonderful thing. Don't let a bunch of ricers jade you.

Did you just call D a ricer?

Beats me. Did his bass sound tasty?

It sounded loud. Maybe I'm just old.
