I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...this band has good music....not cool lyrics and nice instrumentals but GOOD music. If you look at the artist that are at the top of the charts, with a few exceptions of course, hardly any of them can actually sing and never really write their own music. This band CARES about their music and CARES about their fans...if you look at Adam's last blog posting about the next album they know that we want a new album asap but not at the expense of the music being bad just so they can put out a good album. And whats great about us fans and the band...we all know that we appreciate good music
