Soot and Stars
I AM SOOT!
Diorama I tried a couple of times and just struggled through it. Sorry.
I am a bit picky. lol
I will say I agree that one was different but I still couldn't get into it, again just me and my pickiness with certain bands.
It's not a crime to have preference. I do like the Frogstomp material. They sounded like a bunch of hungry kids wanting to rock. Freakshow as a follow was so mundane though I can see why they wanted to change in try different avenues. Diorama was actually a tough period for the lead singer as he took ill pretty bad and the emotion came through so much on Diorama and you could tell it was a record he paid attention to every note on rather than just rocking out.
