Man... saying they have no emotion and lack soul? Yes, some of their music, especially on SFAM, is just instrumental masturbation, but jesus, they are one of the most soulful bands I have ever heard. I mean, just listen to "The Sprit Carries On" or "A Change of Seasons" and tell me its dry and emotionless. If the guitar solo in TSCO doesnt move you, you must not be human. 🙂

I'm assuming this is mostly directed at me sense I think i was the first person to call them soulless. 😉 Like I said before, everything after A Change of Seasons has just gone down hill, IMO. While there are gems here and there in their more recent work it usually favors technical ability and repeated masturbation while placeing emotion/storytelling in the backseat. And, for me, the story is the thing. Technical ability can be used to enhance the story, the emotion, but it can't replace it.
