Jason,
I love you too, man. *hugz* :)

I will definitely concur here. The AOJ "sound", itself, can get a bit
tedious (hell, I've mentioned to the band that I'd like to hear more lead
guitars interacting with the synths for this very reason), and I can hear
how some of the arrangements might sound like perhaps they have a few
interchangable parts -- I'm with you there. There *is* a formula at work in
the AOJ camp, it's just somewhat atypical, but it's there and you can hear
it.
I was really curious to know what you meant by the "unrealized songs"
concept; thanks for clarifying, you made some solid observations.

Whoa - thanks dude! High praise indeed, considering that was *totally*
inspired by AOJ (the synth riff, not the actual song).
