Advantages: Good storyline Disadvantages: Quite standard characters
Unknown is a thriller that opens in an abandoned warehouse in the American desert. At the start of the film we find that securely locked inside the warehouse are five unconscious men some with injuries ranging from quite small ones to the more serious. One unconscious man has a gun wound and is handcuffed to a railing; another man is tied to a chair. The remaining three men are sprawled unconsciously across the floor. As the film progresses one by one each man awakes but none of them can remember who they are, or what has happened.
When one member of the group reads a discarded page from a newspaper, they get a vital clue that two of them from the group have been kidnapped and the reminder of the group are part of the gang of would be kidnappers.

The Offspring - Conspiracy of One
American punk/metal/indie (maybe a bit 'grungy') outfit, The Offspring are somewhat prolific having had 8 albums in nine years.
This album was released in 2000 and has gone well over platinum. This album (I don't have any others) reminds me a bit of the Fun Loving Criminals, and that is not a bad thing.
I want to mention the CD booklet which in terms of art is very influenced by Marvel/DC type illustrations and is probably one of the most visually stunning CD booklets I have seen, top marks. All the lyrics are included.
~~~The tracks~~~
1. Intro
