Some of my initial feelings...

All Secrets Known - The way that this song starts off the album reminds me of how they opened with Sludge Factory at a show I went too. Its not fast paced or fist pounding, but its a good introductory song. Sets the mood for the rest of the album, but outside of being a nice introduction, I don't think that the song amounts to much. Good classic Alice sound though.

Check My Brain - Catchiest song on the album easily. I don't really like the lyrical content of the chorus though. Great song for radio.

Last of My Kind - Best rocker on the album. William shines on this song. Great bridge.

Your Decision - Very "jar of flies". Catchy, emotional, mellow, one of my personal faves.

A Looking in View - Love the song. Period. Took a while to grow on me, but I feel its one of the best on the album.

When the Sun Rose Again - Only listened to this song once fully through. I'll give it an incomplete for right now but not overly impressed yet.

Acid Bubble - Kind of indifferent. I'll classify this with when the sun rose again. I get the feeling that it could be like a song along the lines of frogs, dirt, love hate love, that take a few good listens but then it becomes special. A Looking In View also had that effect.

Lesson Learned - Groovy little song. Crunchy, up-tempo rhythm. I like it.

Take Her Out - A very melodic song. Of all the songs on the album, this sounds the most like some of Jerry's solo work. I don't consider that a bad thing.

Private Hell - Excellent. Awesome. William shines again. Song gives you chills.

Black Gives Way To Blue - Short but powerful. The lyrics "Tomorrow's haunted by your ghost" and "Tomorrow's forcing a goodbye" are especially powerful and poignant in the context of the song.

Overall a very, very good album. Instant classic? No. One of the best of the year? Ya I'd put it there. Its a very complete album. I wish William got a little more room on this album, but its understandable why he is more of a complimentary part on this album.

It was definitely staged whether they admit it or not. When spontaneous acts occur, the cameras don't get all the "money shots". That's how some knew that Eminem/Bruno bullshit was staged even with many saying otherwise.


If this was even .000001% legit, his mic would have been cut the nanosecond he opened his mouth and a commercial break would have immediately happened. When the show came back on, you would have seen her giving her speech like the incident had never happened.

Supposedly she broke out crying backstage, and lucky for her, MTV, and the crowd, she just happened to have a performance prerecorded for them. How convenient.


This is what the reality trash culture has brought us. People unable to tell the difference between reality and script. If the script doesn't clue people in, surely that brilliant, award worthy camera work covering a supposed spontaneous moment would. This is a skit straight out of WWE's playbook.

The incident has already achieved its objective. People are talking about MTV and the artists involved in the skit. We're gonna keep seeing these types of events until the audience gets sick of it.

Clearly no one is sick of it yet.


Get ready for a Hannah Montana vs Amy Winehouse or Jonas Brothers vs Jay Z debacle next year. Yeah, that'll be real too.


I just read that evidently Beyonce won an award later and had Taylor Swift come up and let her finish her speech.

You mean the chick with the good girl image sold to the masses whose face was caught spontaneously by cameras a nanosecond after Kanye mentioned her gave props to the other girl with a good girl image sold to the masses?

I don't believe it. 16


If a normal spectator had done something like this they'd probably see charges of some sort, this douche probably should too.

If ANYONE did this and it wasn't a work, it wouldn't have been shown. That is why awards shows have been on tape delay for going on twenty years...... to prevent this EXACT thing from happening. These events are choreographed to the nanosecond. Spontaneity is discouraged and not allowed. Yet we're seeing spontaneous skits occur that a tape delay would have destroyed before it occurred? 14


I weep for this country....

couldn't agree more about this being staged. all of your points are key. however, trying to explain this to my mtv girlfriend was like trying to walk on water. im not jesus.

also, tonight comedy central (a station that also falls under the viacom umbrella, just like mtv) played the south park episode "fish sticks" featuring Kanye (the most watched episode on the official sp website) back to back to back. turns out south park is readying a new season beginning oct. 7. it all ties in. go ahead and call it a coincidence, im just calling it like I, and big media business, see it.
