I'm probably going to sign up for an Egg one too that's for pick up the same location. Only $.50 more than supermarket eggs. I'd be crazy to not do that.
We grow our own vegetables and peaches but we know a friend with a cattle farm out here so we get from them but it’s not delivered, though that would be really nice
I can do that too but it's nice to just pick it up and go when I'm short on time. Plus we get some different vegetables that aren't in our normal rotation so it keeps it interesting.

I have but one of those three things, and it's a respect based on my willingness to partake in trolling.
How can anyone like this garbage? Nu metal prog bullshit for gayboys and preteen girls trying to fit in with the junior high alternative crowd. False metal.

Dunno if you've seen it but here's DTS whinging about negative comments and about their "individuality":
We're so original... so we're just going to ramble on with a few cliches while dressing like every other dime-a-dozen band out there to show our individuality.
I still have to review Design The Skyline for the upcoming Lords Of Metal, that will give them a reason to further whinge and whine A truly horrendous album released on the once good Victory Records label.

'Traced in Air' consists of many different layers, and in my view, listening to it more than twice is necessary to pick it apart and give your final 'judgement'. Naturally, tthis album is certainly not to everyone's tastes. There are those who despise the band's excessive use of keyboards and uplifitng melodies, which prove to be a highlight for me. I will admit that i am a big cynic fan, but 'Traced in air' is one of those albums you really have to listen to without distractions. And even then you may or may not like it. It just depends on personal taste i guess. Anyway, i believe cynic are going to get more melodic with everything they release in the future. 'Carbon-based anatomy' is a relatively brave starting point for that path...
I really like this album. It sounds soft and airy but that's appropriate given the themes they chose for their lyrics. Besides this sound is what makes them quite different from many other progressive metal bands and gives them individuality.
And those who buy the CD will get as a bonus impressive artwork made by Robert Venosa which compliments the music really well.

Interesting how the staff is picking on this whereas the atmosphere itself on TiA is just a tiny bit lighter than on Focus. A bit less intense, less sophisticated, but feels more earthly an calming than the precursor. Back then when this came out I also labelled this as a disappointment, but with time I came to like it pretty much.
So "funny" reading back years commenting as staff is bashing the record yet none had the balls to put out a score and therefore invoking the need to explain themselves for the tide of fans who just scroll through this section.
Certainly not a record that I spin often, I only touch it if I need some Focus. The Space For This, Integral Birth (the mix on the promo was better), Nunc Stans and Adam's Murmur are well written but in the vein very far from what they played back then. Evolutionary Sleeper, The Unknown Guest and King Of Those Who Know all became missed opportunities IMO, they show some shine of the old days but the mellowness, or quick variance of atmosphere totally killed them for me, or just simply abrupt ending (chose one for each).
Compared to the almighty debut it lacks the essence and sound that made that record great. Also to vocoder is definitely used to death.
And if you didn't expect Focus Pt. 2 you'll find it's still a good album.

Nice presumptuous leap there. Was never a staff, but I was an official reviewer for a bit, and when I had scores (before nuking them all a year or so ago) I think this was the second lowest scored album in the 2000 and a bit scores I had given out, the first being Beherit's terrible failure than was Engram. This is still one the lamest, worst albums I've heard in my life and quite happy to shout that out whenever is necessary. Was never that into Focus either, although it was pretty decent, so nothing to do with expectations either.
