    <reviewbody>After surviving a beating of a set from the opening band Particle opened the set with a St Patty's Day treat and then proceeded to tear down lower Greenville with a HOT show.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>Wow, I was just streaming this show at work and thinking to myself, man these two new guitarists are killing it.  They've already nailed that Charlie sound that I love so much.  Sike!  The first few tracks are filler from Particle1.0 with Hitchock on guitar...damn, what a bummer it was to realize that!</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>Tease</reviewtitle>

    <reviewbody>Its just not that good. The vocals are totally out of place and make the band sound confused. They are trying to appeal to a more commercial crowd, and their overall style suffers from it. I remember when I first hear them (early 02) I thought they would become amazing. Oh well, the new guitarist is okay and I'm glad there is less shredding. The grooves are real basic and overall stale. They are on auto-pilot.&#13;
&#13;
p.s- that filler should probably be at the end, to avoid confusion.</reviewbody>
    <reviewtitle>Pretty boring grooves and vocals, but cool synth.</reviewtitle>

    <reviewbody>I like the new dimensions. I saw them in Austin but this is the first chance to here them. I guess that Jimmy might be right, because I read they opened with Blarney Stone. But if he's wrong. I would like for him to pull it out fast before he dies. Because I love everybody.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>i just read the review where the dude said that particle is boring,less shreding&#13;
they,ve gotten better,brought in phil and mickey from the dead,kreiger, from the doors&#13;
now all they need is les claypool on one good night and they will rule,of course thats a personal opinion,but particle has basically filled a hole that the dead,the other ones,and phil and friends cant touch,on their own.add particle to the mix and u got serious rave jam band heaven&#13;
i'm 52,been to and worked for more bands than most ppl even know&#13;
these guys rule&#13;
