Anybody a fan? I personally think that Songs for the Deaf is a masterpiece...the one after that I wasn't all that impressed with...what do you guys think?

    i'm pretty sure there are lot of fans here, myself included.

    i much prefer self-titled and rated r to the last 2 though.

    I'm a huge fan. I've loved everything that they've released...nothing beats a band that can takes risks/evolve. :)

    Yeah, I love all of their albums. "Songs For The Deaf" is definitley their best work, but "Rated R" is almost as good. I find their S/T and LTP somewhat similar, but both albums still rock pretty fucking hard.

    I don't think I am a fan---but I like them. Saw them in concert, liked them more!

    Some of the new album was ok, particularly Burn the witch, Songs for the Deaf was a decent album as well. Have to say i much prefer Rated R and even more so the self titled album which is fantastic. I think their first two albums are far, far superior to the ones after.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    I do not miss the Nick songs, they pretty much all sucked. It's hard to say what is my least favorite, probably SFTD, because of all the Nick songs. But SFTD has some of my favorite Queens songs on it, Song For The Deaf/Dead, Mosquito Song, God Is In The Radio,...

    S/T is probably my favorite album, great jams, great sounds.

    The first album was a masterpiece. After that it was downhill. And that doesn't make me any more or less of a "fan" because I don't worship "Songs For The Deaf" like everyone else does. I bought the first album when it came out...not years later like everyone else did...and none of the subsequent albums have lived up to my expectations.

    I remember it came out the same day as 'Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head' did, and I spent all my money for both as well as driving 45 mins each way to find a place still open. I still remember listening to Coldplay first, then putting SFTD and turning up the volume since I couldn't hear it at first...

    then BAAAAAMMM!!!

    I almost shit myself and had a wreck due to the volume of the song and how much it freakin rocked.

    You are more of fan for buying S/T on the day it came out though.

    Too cool for school. How much of a fan is someone if they own the vinyl?
