I've wondered the same thing. Let's just pretend for one minute that the Black album didn't come out and Death Magnet took it's place. Would the metal world be as split about Metallica as they are now? We may never truly know and we can theorize until the cows come home. However, if this...

I have to agree that Prosthetic is putting out a great amount of quality music these days. In the last year alone they've released Skeletonwitch, Byzantine, Hollow Corp., Gojira, Book of Black Earth, and Century. That's just to name a few of my favorite releases to date. I'll be curious to...

43 - Amon Amarth 39 - At the Gates 60 - Behemoth 36 - Dark Tranquillity (+1) 64 - Emperor 04 - Necrophagist 35 - Nile (-2) Based on new ruling by our fearless leader.

Deliverence was the first time I heard Opeth . . . and the disc I passed on to a lot of my friends. In hind sight, I'd say Blackwater Park or Ghost Reveries are more well rounded. Hell, for that matter, Still Life. I love 'em all and will continue to spread the word.

Today's been a bit of a weird one . . . going to different extremes and lovin' it. Kataklysm - Shadows and Dust Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus Miles Davis - E.S.P. Opeth - Deliverence Tool - Lateralus Kinda' curious what tomorrow has in store for me.

Okay . . . today's play list includes: Head of David - Seed State Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked Van Morrison - Moondance

44 - Amon Amarth 34 - At the Gates 55 - Behemoth 30 - Dark Tranquillity +2 62 - Emperor 19 - Necrophagist 34 - Nile -2

Couldn't agree with you more. I think the reason it sounded so different was because of Terry Brown behind the boards. He handled all of the Rush records up through Signals, so naturally there's that influence in the material. Great record!

You're the man, Martin. Stay strong, stay positive, get well. :rock:
