I actually listened to CD for the first time in about 4 months today. I hadn't seen this thread so it wasn't like I felt prompted to do it, it was pure chance. All the BS and drama and politics and rumour and everything else aside it's a great album, even what I considered 'filler' in January sounded fresh and it was a pleasure to listen to.

I was going to ask at my local game store but as a few people on here will probably know the answer I thought I'd ask...If you've got a 40GB PS3 that won't play PS2 games is there any hardware that can be installed (legally preferably) that will make a 40GB PS3 compatible with PS2 games?

Taking of Pelham 123 - Pretty enjoyable, good performances from both Washington and Travolta.

I like it but I think Sheldon props up the show, without him it's nothing special.

I can see why you'd feel this way but it's hard for me to agree. Growing up that album along with Limp Bizkit, Blink etc were a big part of my early teen years and it's the same story for a lot of people my age. They aren't necessarily still fans of Linkin Park or LB (I still have a soft spot for Blink) but they are the bands responsible for introducing me and my friends to rock as a genre, nobody stayed with those bands long but they were the stepping stone before we all branched out and broadened our musical horizons. They might not be the best bands of all time but they play a big roll in bringing in new fans to the genre. It's just a shame when you take the leap to find the real quality rock n roll you've got to look to the past rather than to any current bands.
