What's so bad about it? Kinda annoyingly moralistic, but other than that I thought it was fine. None of those are among my favorites ever though, I found something mildly unsatisfying about each one.

4. A Dying God Coming into Human Flesh
5. Drown in Ashes

I see you favor the slow, moody tracks. I get that, and I like them too, just don't think they're CF's forte.

 

[EspaDa]

Obscured is beautiful, in the past I would only listen to A Dying God Coming into Human Flesh from Monotheist. To be honest, the entire album doesn't sound like CF. It's great though, despite the fact that it's always a challenging listen.

 

[Onder]

My favorite is Ain Elohim, ever since seeing a live clip of it from wherever it was back then, Wacken I think.

Top 5 things I'd like to do (or do more of) if I had more time:

1. University classes
2. Travel
3. Try to live off-grid
4. Political activism
5. Software development

1. Software development (games or desktop applications mainly)
2. Make more noise music
3. Tinker with mathematics
4. Paint/draw art (including on the PC)
5. Bust nuts

Actually I have a bit of time, just prefer wasting it posting lists on forums instead. Things like travel are more about the money. Need to rake in the dough so I feel more comfortable splashing out rather than saving it for the longer picture.

3) Stay involved in Scouting

sports scouting?

 

[Bloopy]

I haven't heard ReLoad in forever.

I freakin' love it, particularly the long brooding songs like Where the Wild Things Are and Fixxxer and just about all the other non-singles. So then Bad Seed probably sticks out to me as worse than it is, but the cheesy announcer/circus vocal thing does make it a Stone Temple Pilots rip-off among better Alice in Chains rip-offs.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Where the Wild Things Are is the one deeper cut I've always liked.
