Lars is the biggest douche that comes to mind offhand, but that said, impartiality forces me to say the album isn't that bad.

So I looked up some numbers. A paper which came out recently gave upper and lower bounds for the number of theoretically possible go games. Those bounds were 10^(10^48) and 10^(10^171) (thats a HUGE range of uncertainty by the way). To give some comparison, if we assume the univerise is a sphere with radius of 14 billon light years (I assume this is the farthest away object we can observe) we can calculate that the volume of the universe is about 8 x 10^83 cubic centimeters (those units are correct). Aparently astronomers believe the universe has an average denisty of .000005 hydrogen atoms per cubic centimeter. This translates to about 1.7 x 10^77 hydrogen atoms in the universe. To give an idea how much smaller this is than even the lower bound for the number of possible go games, notice that this is 10^48 - 77 orders of magnitude less than the lower bound for possible go games. Now that's what I call a shitload.
1.7x10^77 is : 17,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000000,000,000,000,000,000.
10^(10^48) is : 10 to the 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000th power for visual appreciation.
10^(10^171) is : 10 to the 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000th power.
All I have to say is LOL at Chess, which has only 10^40 possible board outcomes. That's just the exponent value for the Go study.

The Professor was right
So... Lindsay Lohan finally got naked. Obviously won't be posting pictures here, but it's a simple google search. It's an "artistic" set where she's portraying Marilyn Monroe. Maybe I'm just an immature dude, but I call bullshit. It just looks better to the public than Playboy.
Still, all in all, they're just boobs. Rockin' boobs, but just boobs nonetheless

So.. All That Remains (shit band) did a cover of Nevermore's (awesome band) 'Believe In Nothing'.... And it sucks.
What is the point in doing a cover of a song if you're going to do all the instrument parts EXACTLY the same, and have the vocalist just do a lame impression of the original singers voice?
Here's the original for comparison:

i looked up the shoot. im sorry but she looks ugly next to marilyn, and her body is just skinny and her fake boobs look awful, it doesn't look sexy at all. it sounds bitchy but marilyn monroe cannot be recreated.

+1. I think I'll just echo Matt's words about the Nevermore vid in relation to Lindsay Lohan trying to emulate Marilyn Monroe.

I've listened to about half of it now and I agree. Lars is a douche and the album isn't that bad*.

No one ever said she could hold a candle to Marilyn, and it was never insinuated. Just saying she got naked. And she has boobs. That's about all the message contained
Nevermore cover: i wouldn't say it's Blasphemous because IMO, nevermore are far from Godly. If it was a Sanctuary cover, i'd be pissed. It will be better by firewind on the new Century Media comp though, which actually looks pretty awesome in its own way. Most of the covers will suck, but I'll still download it and check it out.

I'm understanding both points, but I'm in agreement with Charis.
So, on those discs, how do they pay out royalties?

RIP Witchhunter
Raise a beer for the fallen metal brother, and for fuck's sake, crank some SODOM
So...yesterday I met the guys from Sonata Arctica and didn't even realize it until about an hour afterwards. I'm not a big fan of theirs or anything...but I'm sure that's still a notable fail...at least on some fractional level.
