This is just a great idea for a technical rock song. What do we consider these guys? Math-pop?

how did you get that link?

[LMB]

Why the hell are you so special?
All of mine are deleted.

I'm not ripping them. I linking directly to the file that loads when you go to the purevolume site. Nothing wrong with that.

[jfb392]

I'm not ripping them. I linking directly to the file that loads when you go to the purevolume site. Nothing wrong with that.Yeah, I've done it and they've deleted my message...

[LMB]

Yeah, I've done it and they've deleted my message...

That's silly. I can understand deleting YSI links, but direct links from pv? Eh... whatever.

[andsheburns]

Did anyone ever rip The Great Affair Is To Move?

...or is asking that only going to get this message deleted?

[TMartin442]

I'm not ripping them. I linking directly to the file that loads when you go to the purevolume site. Nothing wrong with that.
how are you getting that link? its not provided by purevolume... whats the secret?

[christian k]

does anyone know what the title means?

oh, and thanks for that direct link... it'd be lovely if you could tell me how exactly you figured that out.

[Jentheoptimist]

Sweet!!
It is. Nice banner. Weatherbox is awesome.

[Scott Weber]

holy gatsbys american dream batman!
yeah, because they've done a tango song before.

oh wait.

i hate that every time a band writes anything remotely technical while still being poppy these days they get compared to GAD.

[blane]

amazing song. great live. i placed my preorder today. stoked.

[trjlangdon]

Ha, they spelled 'deceit' wrong on the poster. Regardless, I'm really really really looking forward to the full album

[so typical]

good stuff.

[tambo41187]

I'm getting sick of the Gatsby comments. Are there similarities between what FD is doing now and GAD...yes. Is it a rip off...no.


This song is great.

[N8IVIin0rity]

i love this band AND the great gatsby

[Garett Press]

Forgive Durden might be GAD-esque, but it's not like we're listening to An Angle or anything

No Forgive Durden song sounds remotely like a song GAD would write, vice versa

[preppyak]

damn these names are driving me crazyyyyy
yeah, at this pace they are going to have to spread it over two pages to fit them on the booklet

[livelovecrydie]

when someone says "they sound like GAD" what they really mean to say is "the only other band i've ever heard that sounds similar to them is GAD."

[1check_1love]

yeah. i love forgive durden for what they are and not because people claim they sound like my favorite band, GAD.

[1check_1love]

does anyone know what the title means?

oh, and thanks for that direct link... it'd be lovely if you could tell me how exactly you figured that out.
"Il tango della" means The tango of the... and
"Francesco di Bartolomeo di Zanobi del Giocondo" was a wealthy Florentine merchant who married the model in Mona Lisa.

[robdobi]

this new stuff is tits.

[Scott Weber]

this new stuff is tits.
glad to hear you're digging it!

[sweetforever]

i'm lovin' it

[irthesteve]

"Il tango della" means The tango of the... and
"Francesco di Bartolomeo di Zanobi del Giocondo" was a wealthy Florentine merchant who married the model in Mona Lisa.
supposedly married the woman... if she was real, and if she was not in fact da vinci in drag...

[CorporateFish]

Such an amazing song. I love it.

[CircaEnder]

Man anyone who thinks gatsbys has half the talent of these guys are fucking retards..
i can listen to a whole list of bands and feel like i just listend to gatsbys these guys have the sound
but make it their own.. and lyrically gatsbys is fucking retarded compared to forgive durden.
gatsbys may have been first but these guys do it so much better.

[JunkBondTrader]

yeah, because they've done a tango song before.

oh wait.

i hate that every time a band writes anything remotely technical while still being poppy these days they get compared to GAD.
whoa sorry, a little hostile.

i just dont like this band. sue me.

[JoshIsArealBoy]

It is. Nice banner. Weatherbox is awesome.

True True, good taste in music, IM me on AIM if you wanna trade stuff-JoshIsArealBoy

wow, I completely disagree. FD are great, talented musicians, but I don't think they come close to what Gatsby's has done yet - and i love both bands. do you realize how young FD is compared to GAD? Or how good of a drummer Rudy is? Both bands hold a lot of talent, but to say somebody's a fucking retard for thinking GAD has more talent is just ridiculous.

like i said gatsbys sounds like anything else to me. they have good songs.. but their lyrics lack and i dont think they have as much originality. I dont care how good their drummer is. A drummer adds alot to the band, but doesnt change the fact that when i listen to FD im like man.. there is nothing like this. i guess its just opinion. You pointion out how young FD is really just inforces my point.. I just feel like Gatsbys hits a spot in music that fifty other bands can.. and FD for me is just their own. I think its the lyrics and the vocals that do it hte most.

[poppa Q]

Honestly, I'm so sick of it.

this new stuff is tits.

Couldn't agree more.

wow. when you say a band like Gatsby's doesn't have as much originality I have nothing left to say to you...I just think you're wrong, period. And how does GAD have weak lyrics? Volcano was one of the most in-depth concept albums I've heard in a very long time...there are a few songs that aren't strong on a few records, but as a whole I've never seen lyrics as a weak spot for GAD. that all being said, i'm stoked you love FD, because I love Wonderland and they're friends of mine so that's awesome to hear.

[JIMMYateEARTH]

I preordered this earlier today, the wait for this album is killing me.

and they do sound alot like GAD, but I can tell them apart , not like its hard.

It dosen't make me love either band any less.

have you ever listened to ribbons and sugar? Give me one album that sounds remotely close to that album and uses song structure like that album and i will accept your opinion. Until then i will assume you have never listened to Gatsbys b/c your opinions and thoughts on Gatsbys are extremely skewed.

wow.
for you to say that about GAD...
forgive durden is good but they are NOTHING compared to freakin' Gatsby's American Dream.
if you think their lyrics are retarded, just look at FD's lyrics!

I'm a newborn taking my first steps.
Eyes like bloated beach balls,
They'll surely pop.
Pop!
All day I shit and eat.
All night I crawl and sleep.
My rattle shakes.
My crib awaits.
But paved ivy's my home.

yes, FD does have good lyrics, but THOSE lyrics are completely retarded compared to GAD's lyrics in RaS and Volcano.

[sharpenup]

I just preordered :)
Yay

[kennethagee]

I'm getting sick of the Gatsby comments. Are there similarities between what FD is doing now and GAD...yes. Is it a rip off...no.


This song is great.

stop complaing. that comment was funny and i love both bands. bands have ot copy gatsby's, they are taking music too a new level and bands need to follow.

[Zinja]

ok what about these lyrics?

Splintered soles and cracked rungs.
Soaking flames and black lungs.
Climbing only brings me closer to drowning.
Effort only speeds burning embers to rain down.
This ocean's waves crash up against the varnished sides of the hull, whose walls securely insulate my heart from the swells.
But these tides persist.
Rust grows by the inch.
Corrosion turns to decay.
This ship's tired and old.
Can't take much more of the cold before it breaks like glass.
I've been drawn and quartered.
My limbs anchored to spirited steeds who tear with opposite speeds.

As much as I love gatsbys, Forgive Durden's lyrical appeal is that it's like poetry. Good f*cking poetry.

[screamoutmyname]

Nice

dude, i know that FD's lyrics are amazing, but no one can say GAD's lyrics are retarded.

i seriously love Forgive Durden but what he said about GAD was..wow.
