really? i seem to think (likewise to a couple of the band members) that if_then_else doesnt seem to be filled with the magic that the other albums contain.


I soooooo do not share that opinion. If I had to choose one Gathering album, I'd probably pick If_Then_Else as my favorite. Rollercoaster, Colorado Incident (with the "Albatross" riff), and most especially, Shot To Pieces, are masterful tunes...probably all in my top ten all time favorite TG songs.


I totaly agree with you! And what about the NTB album? Its been ages that they've played songs like Confusion, The May Song and New Moon, Different Day (one of my favorite songs) live. WHY??

While I don't (and would never) expect lots of the "old" stuff to be played live, a song or two is nice, and TG usually accomodate that. I think the reason why some now seem forgotten is because the band are now choosing their setlists from a pretty extensive catalogue, and consequently, they can't always give every album it's proper due (especially when they're on tour supporting new material).

That said, I was absolutely thrilled to hear two songs from If_Then_Else when I saw TG live (and they only did six songs total).
