I found the #1 album of 2004

[JayKeeley]

Listening to the album again this morning (another 5am train ride, heh). Anyway, this is great stuff, EASILY top 10. The thing that really struck me today was:

(a) how two Chilean bands will be in my top 10 this year
(b) how much the acoustics lean towards a slight South American flavour, whereas Empyrium (as an obvious comparison) is very, very Germanic if you know what I mean.
(c) will this be out in time to be a 2004 release?

There are a few flaws with the album - the first 3 minute track of rainfall is overly long, the second track could do without the fake crying, and the fourth track (I think) could have been about 4 minutes shorter. Otherwise, I give it my seal of approval.

I can't believe NAD gave away that Mahavishnu CDR I sent him. He is not refined like me!

 

[NAD]

zuh? i still have it, made a copy of a copy for doomsniffy. i'll listen to it more someday, but it was more of a 'damn these guys are amazing musicians' than 'damn these guys move me emotionally and bowelly.'

 

[Black Winter Day]

I listen to it in coffee shops while reading Ginsberg and the Wall Street Journal.

business major.

 

[JayKeeley]

So when someone actually BUYS Uaral, can they let me know where they bought it from? kthnxbye.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Ya, I hear they are having problems with the layout or soomething...i dunno. It was supposed to be officially released a couple weeks ago.

oMGQKSLMF KJQSùl K%k , i'm filling cubs of saliva (hoping it means something lolz )

 

[Demonspell]

I also can't get it to work...having a black and white website is appropriate for matching the theme of the music (of course I say this without having heard any of it), but not practical for an embedded audio player...

 

[Krilons Resa]

it's not #1 anymore but absolutely in my top5-7.

 

[JayKeeley]

It was never #1 for me based on the flaws I pointed out earlier, but yes, top 10 for sure.

 

[Krilons Resa]

ya, i agree with your flaws, as well as that last track pisses me off.

 

[Black Winter Day]

So what is 1?

 

[JayKeeley]

I'm not disclosing anything until my list is ready for publishing.

I hope you've started working on your lists BWD, as per the e-mail I sent out....

 

[Krilons Resa]

ya, i have a top3...I THINK. but not sure of the top position yet.

 

[Black Winter Day]

I received no such email! In fact I haven't received an RC email in months... you sure you have the right address?

Oh really? Can anyone one else on RC check this?

I sent an e-mail to the entire team called "Top Ten Lists 2004" on 11/13 at 8:50pm. Let me know.
