Because I'm occasionally mean.

About Muse? Well it's the usual "It's gonna be heavy, and back to the basics", and they're expecting it to be out next summer. Pain of Salvation has already finished their album, and dunno what they're waiting for at the moment. Could just be acoustically reworked songs though, not sure.

Ours are apparently planning their most ambitious album ever, and Jimmy Gnecco expects it to take quite a long time. It's definitely gonna be interesting.

More stuff like Autumn would definitely be nice. Judging by the new stuff they've been playing live, I think it's gonna be great. Did you catch any of IAMX' live streams btw? If you didn't I can just tell you that you didn't miss much. Half an hour gig that froze and cut out followed by half an hour Q&A with answers like "maybe", "I don't know" and the very exciting "perhaps".

two of the best new songs. And yeah The Alternative was worse. The actual music was good, but despite having 100/100mbit broadband it kept freezing during every single song. And 15 bucks for a 40 min stream really isn't worth it.
