... you're the one who said the somberlain is more popular? this conversation is melting my brain. i also don't know what challenge_everything was talking about in the first place given that SOTLB hasn't placed yet and will probably rank higher than the somberlain (although i haven't checked).

No I'm saying SOTLB is more popular, and that I think its weird CE is surprised it would rank higher than Somberlain.

yeah but he was saying the exact opposite (i'm not sure why, but he was):

Awesome list so far. Baffled how The Somberlain ranks above SotLB though.

Thanks Captain Literal, I'm baffled that anyone here would rank the obviously inferior Somberlain over SotLB.

Oh wow, we agree! I was reading his post backwards.

[challenge_everything]

and I could have sworn I saw SotLB appear earlier in the thread and lower in the rankings than Somberlain. Confusion all round.

Juicy set of records right there.

 

[Slammed]

Geez what the fuck did you lot vote for if these albums are so high in the rankings?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

With so many classics listed already, there should be lots of room in the top 50 for the Trivium discography.

 

[CiG]

@Vegard Pompey did you see there's a new Dark Quarterer album out called Pompei?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I did not! I'm not a huge fan of most of what I've heard post-s/t but with a name like that I'll have to check it out.

 

[no country for old wainds]

it's the lowest rated album of their whole discog on rym but people with taste seem to be saying it's good/underrated so who knows

 

[CiG]

Yeah I thought that was pretty ironic. Have no idea if it sux or not, let us know.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

On a first impression it sounds depressingly similar to Dream Theater. (I don't hate Dream Theater but it's definitely not the direction I want my beloved oddball italian prog metal bands modernizing their sound in.)

it's the lowest rated album of their whole discog on rym but people with taste seem to be saying it's good/underrated so who knows

Yeah, I see Murgen gave it 4 stars from which I can infer that it is an album with music on it
