i endorse appleseed cast's "two conversations." it's recommended if you wanted to like the low level owl albums but just couldnt.
i want to like coheed and cambria, but i wish they could write shorter songs. i'm not a huge fan of the big sci-fi subplot thing, either. some people can pull off the concept album, but i feel like they're just doing it as a big gimmick trying too hard to be artsy fartsy, and all the emo kiddies are falling for it hard. but dont get me wrong, i like C&C all in all...just wish they did things a little differently.
