Just thinking about this thread brings back memories.... the little 12 year old me looking at avatars on the internet and there it was... An icon flashing the lyrics to Surfacing. It was love at first site... Then it took me 3 years to actually figure out where the lyrics were from and listen to the band. *sigh*

I've seen that avatar before. :P "Wait and Bleed" got me hooked. This was in 1999, shortly after their self-titled album was released. I guess I've been a fan for six years or so. I was at Best Buy with my dad, I saw them on the advertising TVs, heard the chorus to "Wait and Bleed" and I was hooked on that song at that point. If I recall correctly, I was about 8 at the time. I then proceeded to find out their name. After finding out their name, I raced to the CDs and bought their self-titled. Of course, my dad didn't approve, but I still bought it. Then 2001 rolled around and Iowa came out. I got it the first day it was released here. I was so hooked on that album. I listened to it for six months straight, literally. I didn't have any other CD in my players for six months. That album never got old, and it still hasn't. It just amazed me. I don't care if anyone out there thinks that Iowa is just "noise." To me, it is brilliant. It really is. There's just something about it that really got me hooked. I haven't been obsessed with them until about this time of last year...Right before Vol. 3 came out. Oh, man. I was so excited to get Vol. 3. I got it a few days after it came out. I would've gotten it the day it came out, but my damn parents wouldn't let me go to Best Buy, and meh. Yeah. So when 2004 rolled around, I was absolutely HOOKED on them. I bought Vol. 3 and was amazed, but at the same time, very surprised. It didn't sound like them, but all the same, it is a wonderful album. Anyway, yeah. I wish I had liked them during the MFKR days, but I hadn't heard of them then, and I was quite young at the time. I remember the first time I heard "Wait and Bleed" like it was literally yesterday. |
