War ensemble

Shin Angyo Onshi : I am late reviewing this gem. Oh did I say...it was a gem... review over. If you can get past the confusing first chapter, you are going to be blown away as the story progresses. The storyline kind of reminds me of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. A mysterious anti-hero, a past that haunts him, a goal to take somebody down... the list of similarities goes on.

The artwork greatly improves as you progress through the chapters:




The only thing I could not stand was this lady's character design because it is really unnecessary (except maybe to boost sales?) :


If you can ignore this, you are really going to enjoy the story and it is going to keep popping in your head weeks after you are done. Thanks to Clarence for introducing me to this.

Is it ?

Away

Oh what I have become
State of something that’s amiss

A strange feeling creeps
And it seems it’s telling me something
Broken and I…
And I can’t recognize as I look within
There’s always a thought
Of what could have been

You are away
And I can’t hold on
I can think, need a drink
Drowning in whiskey and memories
And someday I hope
To breathe easily
When you stare back at me
Oh all these stones shine but none beats
The sun in your eyes

You cast a spell on me
And I walk away with regret on my lips

It takes many nails to build a crib but only one screw to fill it

The Nine Inch Nails concert was good. Despite this being an outdoor performance, the sound was highly commendable . In fact this must be the best sound system I have heard from all the bands I have seen at Fort Canning Park so far.

Set list can be found here.

Here are some nice photos taken by Karen despite the crazy bright lights and smoke:




Robin doing his rain dance:





Anyway Gene Simmons, somebody I don't really give a shit about was there and later wrote on his facebook about how the concert had lots of smoke and he could not see the band.

Well, some guy posted the concert videos on YouTube, so you be the judge.



Oh and since I did not write any review about Black Sabbath, instead here's a video :
