Being better than TBF is like winning a gold medal in The Special Olympics.

this was.. this was just funny,, i hate it though.. theres no comeback..

I'll just go with the all-purpose, "Dan, you suck."

Arrival is a terrific album; I listen to it all the way through on a regular basis.

The major thing that hurt it was the fact that it was the first album right after Perry's departure and people really had no interest in a Perryless Journey. Columbia did nothing to help promote the album either. The album overall had some quality songs and was well produced in my opinion.

My favorites include: Signs of life, higher place, with your love, and all the way.

Its was a really good Cd, If it was put out now,it would have down alot better

That I can agree with...

Definately the best non Perry era release.

Higher Place is an underrated rocker.

I have no video editing knowledge, but I would love someone to compose a video montage of the NCAA March Madness/Final Four set to the song. The lyrics could be twisted to fit the occasion and the music would rock... spiced by the coaches and players' emotions, thunder jams and great plays. Any basketball buffs out there, play the song and picture what could be done. Sure would beat the shit out of "One Shining Moment."

At least some videographer at a university could use it for the season-end banquet or something.

I would crank Higher Place on the way to my kids games to get them fired up. They liked it, but thought I was weird. Kept telling me to turn it down. Geez, youth of today. :wink:
