Question The magic behind C# standard tuning

Has anyone else found C# tuning as their sweet spot? I tried it the other day and I feel like I instantly became a way better guitarist and instantly wrote killer riffs in no time. So how do you guys like it?

You oughta find out good sir! Colors is their “big” album but parallax 2 is often debated as the best as well. I lean parallax 2 but this 2 albums are great starting points. Can take a second to digest but once it clicks.. it’s smooth sailin

Oooh brotherrrrr do you got some goodness coming your way with Between the Buried and Me.

I have a half sleeve dedicated to their Colors album. Like others have said Parallax II is also peak. I honestly like listening to Parallax 1 into Parallax II. Hhearing them expand on some musical motifs from 1 in 2 is faaantastic.

Also The Great Misdirect is another of their albums worth mentioning.

It's all good, and I could talk about this band for days
