As for this particular performance? There were a few spots where notes were missed and timing seemed to be off, but on the whole they were solid and sounded heavier than I had ever heard them before. I am sure that the heaviness was due to the new bass style and the drumming. They seemed to be having a good time, even when complaining about the heat, glad to be back in front of a live audience again after such a long time.

I do not recall the exact set list, but they included most of the songs from their debut LP, Measure Up. Among the set highlights were "Betrayed," "Respect," and "Games." The covers were pretty solid and included Drowning Pool's "Bodies," Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man," Stone Temple Pilot's "Plush" (I think, I know the song but the title escapes me), Godsmack's "I F**king Hate You," and a Shinedown song that I did not know (not a fan) and sounded terrible. There were even a few new cuts that I did not recognize, including one I had heard before, but sounded different here ("Can't Break Me").

In conclusion, with a few hiccups, the show was a success, the crowd loved it, I had a great time, and the band had a great time doing it. It was also one of the longest, if not the longest they have ever played, with two 50-minute sets with a 20-minute break in between.

If you are in the Poughkeepsie, NY, area and like hard rock/metal music, keep an eye out for Audible Thought, they are well worth your time. I will close by directing you to their MySpace page, but with a warning. The music there is from their debut album, but the album suffers from a really bad mix. The band is much better than what you will hear, but it will give you an idea. So, head over to http://www.myspace.com/audiblethoughtny and enjoy!

Oh yes, also remember to support your local music scene and go introduce yourself to the bands you like. Trust me, they will definitely appreciate it.
