Of melancholy burning is probably mine but I really dig Misery in me and cornered form Exposures.

Q: what do you prefer, Minds I or Haven?

 

[YaYo]

A: Haven

Q: What was an album highly anticipated by you that did live up to expectations? .. and what was one that didnt?

 

[King Chaos]

A:
One that did - At the Gates "slaughter of the soul"
One that didn't - Nile "In Their Darkened shrines" (even though I love it now)

Q: hows about you?

 

[Rusty]

A: That did, Before the Dawn - 4:17am. That didn't, Virgin Black - Elegant... and Dying (while it's still good, I expected it to be a lot better).

Q: Same again.

 

[DE]

A:
One that did: Drudkh - Autumn Aurora
One that didn't: Opeth - Damnation

Q: What about you?

 

[Venenum Veritas]

Hypocrisy - The Arrival

What's an album that was countless times worse than you expected it to be?

 

[Rusty]

A: Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory

Q: Crimson, Crimson II, or neither?

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

Awww man I had a great answer prepared about Before The Dawn being the biggest disappointment in a while...oh well. At least I can still ask the question. And hey, Scenes From A Memory is great...I just re-discovered it a while ago. Sure, some sappy/crappy songs, but stuff like Home and Finally Free really makes up for it. Anyway, opinions.
Crimson I definitely. I've not managed to listen to Crimson II in its entirety yet, but I can't see it surpassing the first one anyway.

Who's the best: Kevin Moore, Derek Sherinian or Jordan Rudess?
For an obvious answer, check the NP.

 

[Ethereal Sage]

A: No Idea, but I'll say Rudess because it rhymes and I can't be bothered to check NP thread

Q: Is there any better feeling than finding backups of music you thought you lost!? *dies happy*

 

[YaYo]

A: Quite a few i imagine..

Q: If i stare blankly at the screen long enough will my work magically do itself?

 

[Arch]

A: In your dreams, yes. In reality, no.

Q: Do you say "yeah" a lot?

 

[Ethereal Sage]

A: Nah.

Q: Was that the answer you expected?

 

[Arch]

A: Yeah.

Q: Do you smoke cigarettes?

 

[Wolfman Von Jones]

Sure do

Do you smoke marijuana?

No actually I dont. I dont smoke anything.
