I laughed at them when their first album came out. I just didn't like the first song they released on Mtv. But, right before they released their first single for Throwing Copper, I won a copy from a radio station in a parking lot. I was walking to my car, and a guy I knew years back called me over. He was working for 98 rock, out of Tampa. I already, for 3-4 years stopped listening to the radio. But, this old friend asked me to name 5 live albums, win the new Live cd. Easy enough...I took it home, and was hooked after the first 4 tracks. I then went and picked up Mental Jewelry, gladly admitting that I was way off about them! I have Secret Samadhi as well. I like it a little better than Throwing Copper. One thing about the TC album...I was going through a really depressing period then, and along with Dream Theater's Awake album, they helped get me through the rough times. So, I always have fondness for that album. When I won it from 98 rock, I kinda didn't expect it to be that good.
