Its just that I'm so freaking busy with school, work, real-life and all. I am at book 8 now and closing in on book 9. I've got Memory of Light here on the shelf, but I can't touch it yet. I'm dying to get to it though.

Yeah, the revival didn't work out. No one wanted to put any time into it. It was just me and I can't make interesting discussion topics if I'm talking to myself.
I've got A Memory Of Light for my birthday. I've only read the first two pages because I've been swamped with school reading.

Yeah, it just didn't really seem to click this time, huh? But either way, I have the new book on the way to the apartment; it'll be here Saturday. I, too, have read the Mistborn series and it was rather good... but it wasn't Jordan-esque. Just a little while ago I read the first chapter (available on Amazon and I'm sure a thousand other places) and it just didn't seem like Jordan. Which makes sense, since it isn't, but you know what I mean. The first bit about the wind, especially, didn't sit well with me. It seemed rather conversational. But then again, there's a decent chance I just don't remember what they're like; it has been a while since I read a WoT book. I'm going to assume that the book rocks, though, until further notice.

It seems that the revival of the board didn't really pull of, eh? Such a pity, cause I had some great times here on this site.
I am currently re-reading the series. I started of 2 weeks ago and already I'm at book 4. I think the first 3 books are the best of the series along with the last 2.
October 27th...
Tomorrow the new book will be published. I read the Mistborn-series and I think Brandon Sanderson is a great writer. Will he be able to pull of a real Robert Jordan-style WoT-book though? I don't know. We'll see....

The Seventh One
In 1988, Toto released their seventh studio album, The Seventh One. Seventh One turned out to be Toto’s most successful album since Toto IV. Due to some personnel changes within the record company, the band had their album promotion and advertising money pulled. The Seventh One was supposed to be their comeback album. With little support, Toto ended up touring only from February to July of 1998.
The tour, however short lived, was successful. Unfortunately, the band decided to pull Joseph Williams. During the European part of the tour, Williams would lose his voice before performances due to several factors. Excessive partying and drug use were prominent along with getting sick with the flu many times.
To replace their lead singer slot the band wanted to get back with Bobby Kimball. The record company, being an evil money grubbing corporation (not really), decided to put in Jean-Michel Byron. Before Bryan was hired, though, the song “Going Home” was recorded which would make its way to the Toto XX album as an unreleased track.
After recording four songs with Bryan the band went on the Planet Earth Tour. The tour proved that Bryan did not mesh with the band well. He had a non-rock image and weird stage antics. Fans were so outraged that the recorded performances edited out Bryan and listed his as a background singer in the credits.
The singles of the album “Pamela” and “Stop Loving You” are two of my favorite songs by Toto. Although not as great as Fahrenheit, the album had some good songs. “You Got Me”, “Anna”, “Mushanga”, “Stay Away” and “Straight For The Heart” are all good songs.
Ironically, the song “The Seventh One” is only featured in the Japanese version of the album and on various collections.
