Melodic metal, really? Man, this one is so fun to play live. When we did it at the CD release, I was all excited and getting into it. When we were done, it was like Marty McFly at the Enchantment Under the Sea Ball (a few horns, and mostly confused faces). Out of Spite might be too prog-metal for the pop/rock heads, and too pop/rock for the prog heads, but, oh well. Fun is all that matters!
