Probably as many as there are other albums!

Yes, but that's hardly a Mensa-difficulty link...let's keep _some_ 
perspective here ;-)

The latest TA album requires a lot of concentration and effort, but
it's well worth it.  I like it as so much music these days is 'in yer
face',
shallow, talentless cr*p, which requires one brain cell to listen to,
and 
when you've listened to it once, that's it, there's nothing more to get
out 
of it.  TA and KT both make music that you get something out of straight
off, 
but more the more you listen to it, the more satisfying it gets.  Stick
with it!

Almost as upsurd as your spillung :-)

Err, um?  Examples, please.

Tragic.  Who in their right (or left) mind still wants to use one?

Calm down, |>oug...do some deep breathing exercises, drink some wine,
put on some music and relax, things don't matter _that_ much!  It's only
life, after all.

Keep smiling,
