    Not so sure I have a top 5, but Vision of Division is by far my number 1

    I have, but only once. They put on a great show; such energy. They have pretty annoying fans though. Too many squealing 15-year-old girls for my taste...

    I don't remember exactly, but it didn't feel like very long. But then again, I am a spoiled PJ fan.

    I saw them about 2 years ago, they played for about 75 or 90 minutes - that was including a 4-song encore. It was really enjoyable, they had a cool light show and played well so yeah they're a good live band.

    And yeah, a lot of the girls were screaming for Julian :)

    I think Is This It? is still their best. First Impressions on Earth has a couple of tunes I don't like, Room on Fire only has 2 or 3 songs I care for.

    I've seen them twice: once for first impressions of earth and once for room on fire, and I loved both shows. There was a ton of energy packed into such a small venue (and yes screaming girls, though not nearly the worst I've seen of that!) and they rocked, great lights, very tight sound! Though not as long as a PJ show :( Fave album still is Is This It, for sure.
