Personal Anathema best of

[ElusiveDogcow]

A friend is over at your place. You have an Anathema album playing in the background. Your friend stops gutting the fish he found in the back alley (you have weird friends, but what are you going to do?) for a moment and says that the music you have on kicks ass. Instead of delving into a lengthy and boring critique of Anathema's discography like you usually do, you simply tell him you'll burn a CD of Anathema's best stuff.

You have 80 minutes. What are you going to fill it with?

[Feanor IV]

didnt you just give A Natural Disaster 10/10 ?

Yep. But A.N.D. is still very young to give it a fair comparison to albums i've heard more than 500 times It seems like it'll be my favorite or the second after Eternity, however. Both CDs are 10s!

Update: if you mean why I didn't include any of the songs in my top list, I just thought that since it has not come out yet i should not include its songs in the list, since the others have not listened to it yet, just to make sure we're picking favorites from the same songs
