    Anyone else just watch Troy and the way he just sits there and shows how intently he’s listening? Look at his eyes. He’s like sitting there in silence and processing shit. Sometimes his eyes widen for…what almost seems like no reason. He’s very quiet, reserved, a mystery but some how still a cool dude.

    It’s cool when a band gets big and successful and they just seem like genuinely good dudes. Of course they are super talented and have worked hard to get where they’re at. But it seems like it hasn’t gone to their heads. They still seem like the same funny and personable guys they’ve always been.

      I'm not sure whether it was him or not - if it wasn't him, he's was a perfect doppleganger. Anyway, it was at a bar, and I spent ages just staring at him, and he just looked back at me like "oh fuck, he knows" :') .

      He was throwing a curse at someone! Like some mad, wicked sultan or smth... That's one crazy set of eyeballs he's got rollin' right there, but the real 'crazy' is behind the eyes... \m/
      Just kidding, of course. His mind probably drifted away (home), 'cause this album was inspired by his wife being diagnosed with cancer. When she found out, her first thought was 'how much time do I have?', and that's why the main subject of this album is time.

    too bad brann dailor seems to dominate the vocals nowadays. don't get me wrong; he does ok and is even better at drumming, but he makes their songs sound too bland sometime. Crack the Skye was a perfect balance between three vocalists(Oblivion) but recent songs like "Show Yourself" are too boring imo. I fear that's the way they're going next album...
