Some omissions so far: Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine Enslaved - Eld Ulver - Bergtatt

Haha, the guy has read every page in Fripp's playbook, with some more discipline (reference obviously intended), judicious editing (processing everything into oblivion on every song whether it works or not gets almost as annoying as Cedric's refusal to shut up), this album would be worthy of...

Awesome lineup, when Agalloch finally does manage to reach NYC I would be stoked if they brought along any of the bands mentioned, I did some research on the Portland show and only Grayceon and Red Sparowes seem definite...

Moonchild and Clairvoyant as encores, and Rime and Powerslave being resurrected...fuck me sideways. And I agree that FOTD doesn't deserve to be a concert standard, especially in that company...

UM Refugee Camp, because at least half of us migrated here after getting fed up with the rampant idiocy of the GMD or when SOT turned to shit. Or R____ (drawing a blank here) Crusade in honor of the forum's most infamous meeting ground...

You probably will be very satisfied with RL as it has a higher metal quotient than TPL and is every bit as cinematic and dark. As for that ex-Zero Hour vocalist, I agree that we need to hear more from him as his performance on Towers is godly. But he got the boot because they got pissed off at...

This album sounds like La Masquerade Infernale on speed meeting Mr. Bungle in a head on collision, or nine mental patients in different rooms playing the craziest shit they're capable of at once without realizing they're being recorded, yet somehow it works, on the level of pure mindfuck of course.

The Giant Squid half of this is also on their gayspace...starts off dangerously close to -core territory and repeats the vocal weaknesses of the otherwise solid debut, but improves significantly from there.

1. Theoretical Ideal Candidate (100%) 2. Barack Obama (81%) Information link 3. Alan Augustson (campaign suspended) (77%) Information link 4. Christopher Dodd (withdrawn) (73%) Information link 5. Al Gore (not announced) (69%) Information link 6. John Edwards...

Ordered one after seeing it on Blabberdick this morning, didn't notice how many they had left (it did have the two-person limit though), but my order number was 948. The song is great as expected, though it was a bit disconcerting to hear synths used so prominently (but tastefully of course) in...

Damn, everyone still complains about that interlude, probably the same people who skip Great Gig In The Sky every time. :) OK, so the caterwauling is more annoying on LOD, DOD than there, but I've come to accept as a necessary part of the composition.

I'm still as impressed by both albums as I was when I was simultaneously befuddled and enthralled by them back in 2001, to the point where I cannot get myself to rank the KD albums above them (not to mention getting an urge to listen to both in one sitting again), and I unconditionally love...

I'm sure the over the top misanthropy in the update isn't meant to be taken entirely seriously, but judging from interviews I've read, I'm sure they indeed have some degree of disgust for the Myspacing of the metal community and the business end of metal...and of course I agree with most of it...

Another band that needs to lay off the metalcore vocals, or at least take a lesson from Isis and keep them to a minimum...I downloaded Rhyacian and they were the only obstacle to an instant "SOLD!" (though they are more effective on the climax) as the music on it is excellent.

Agreed, the acoustic counterpoint to the BM riffing in this song is brilliant, and as well-crafted as anything on Souvenirs...
