You know Lars, I appreciate that you have a change of mind based on experience and not jumping to conclusions because of prejudice. It doesn't matter to me if you like the Vintersorg or not. I happen to love the album more everyday. And don't get me wrong......I appreciate your compliments on my bass playing (esp from you!).
If you like it, you like it; if you don't, you don't. Doesn't matter to me, I'm a musician not a salesman. I took acception when you referred to the band as crap when you didn't even know what to expect. Now I see that you gave it a chance - and that's cool. That's what matters, base your opinions on fact not on false preconceptions.
So you're cool with me man, and even though I say I don't care if you like the album or not. I am totally jazzed that you do like it now. I believe it is one of those transitional albums that will be a mark in the progress of modern music. So enjoy man, I'm sure there's more to follow.
And say hi to Mariana for me!!!
