    What's the general consensus on the first two Borknagar discs on this forum?

    Advice for a new fan?

    Epic is the sort of album that gets better over time, there is so much going on that even after a hundred listens, you will probably still pick up on things you hadn't noticed before. I personally feel like epic took more listens to really appreciate than any other Bork album, but is probably...

    NeO @ PROGFEST BRISBANE! Aug 6th.

    Ended up going to the Gold Coast show, the venue wasn't brilliant, but the guys were great.

    NeO @ PROGFEST BRISBANE! Aug 6th.

    This looks awesome, Gold Coast shows looks good also. While it is far more practical for me to attend the Gold Coast show, I'm quite fond of Rosies... I get to see NeO either way, so that makes me very happy...

    Universal: Comments (MODERATED!!)

    So, I've had the album for a little while now(got my dragon box :kickass:) and I love it. One of those albums that gets better with every listen and I have listened to it a lot (obsessively since I got it). Very pleased that I got the Box, love the 2 bonus tracks, love the extra borknagoodies...

    "My Domain..." An Instant Classic?

    I thought it was written during the Q days, but left out because it sounded more like something from TAC. Also I love the lyrics on the song, really beautiful.
