'Briefing' took the longest to sink in but it has been my favorite for some time. Just the sheer depth of emotion that comes out of each one of those songs just takes my breath away. You almost want to weep alongside Terry as his grandma is dying. And it makes you contemplate your own mortality too.

- John Wayne sounds closest to DA, but I like it the least. Couple of really great songs on it (Writers Block, You Lay Down), but a lot of fly-by country too.
- K&I and l,B have that signature Rob Watson sound I get in the mood for at times.
- Haven't been in the mood for Neverhood or Imaginarium recently.
- AF is one my wife likes even more than me. Loves that 'Piehole'!
- 'Ruckus', a bit of a letdown, but that's not fair of me since I was actually there in the audience.


You know, I always fall into this trap of hoping the solos sound like Daniel Amos. Anyone else do this too?

K & I is a fave of mine..............ESPECIALLY since I got a signed copy by Terry (and Mike Roe........hey, what the heck, he was there!)

Have enjoyed Briefing, too.


But I'm not a real fan.


I'm rather pathetic when it comes to my music collection..................but that just gives me room to grow, right?? Right???????????????

Okay!


Gee, I hope he's okay, with all this fire stuff going on in his neck of the woods.............................it's such a bummer.

My niece lives in Mendocino..............near San Diego. She wrote an e-mail to family the other day, and was staying indoors, but was okay. She works at a school, and they'd been closed for a few days....................so much to worry about

Originally posted by audiori You mean Petra actually released albums? I thought they just disd a series of 'best of's.

I think they're competing with the Rolling Stones for most "best of" projects.


Petra:
"Petraphonics", "Petarafied", "War and Remembrance", "Power Praise".

Stones:
"Sucking in the 70's", "Hight Tide and Green Grass", "Hot Rocks", "More Hot Rocks", "Forty Licks", "Made in the Shade"

Petra just has two more to go. Of course if I actually went and looked at the Stones catalog thre would probably be like 500 other "best ofs" that I missed.

Well what happened is that when Petra left Star song for Pakaderm Star Song go "nut's now how are we gonna make money? - i know lets make 15 greatest hits albums" and so they did.

Has there been a greatest hits from the pakaderm era? I don't know

I don't think there been a Petra "best of" form the Beyond Belief to present era. One other that would qulify for a Petra best of would be "Double Take", where they redid some of the older classics.

I think that Beyond Belief and the couple after it represented the best era for Petra.
