for a long time now, i\'ve held the opinion that the key to tB is jordan. yeah, we all know that tim and adrian can destroy their (and each others\') instruments, and that ronnie gets the \'most improved in 05\' award (that brother has come *such* a long way over the years!), but what kept this band from just being a wankfest is jordan\'s keys. take a listen to every \'best show ever\' and you\'ll notice one common element - jordan\'s keys are up high in the mix! he provides such a great counterpoint to tim\'s guitar while also playing off and with the rest of the rhthym section. and now they\'ve been able to truly incorporate his spacey sound washes as part of the intentional song and not just \'something the keyboardist does during his solos\'. i think the entire band is really developing and elevating their unique sound and jordan is the key part. getting all four (six w/dobs & ellis) fingers working in true concert together, utilizing all the players\' strengths and then taking those and creating something far greater than the its parts, well.... that\'s true art and a shitload of fun, right there!!

I\'m bringing my drum to with the hopes others might follow suit.
