Good to know that I'm not the only one listening to 90's videogame music. Greetings from Montreal.

Thank you! nice to see some great artists on your charts so far.

jajaj exactely!! It's a very complex epic story!! I want to know what would happen when Gatss and grifith finally battle!!! jajaj and what is going to happen with all the magical creatures walking around the world jaja. Take care men!

Yeah great!! You're right the waitng is very very very long, But I think the wait is worth it! Excelent characters, story, armas, magic, woW great!! You have excelent taste too dude! Take care !

Dude, I've been listening to Last Fair Deal Gone Down a lot during past weeks, and only now I understood how good it is! When I was getting familiar with Katatonia's discography I didn't really think it was anything special and never really came back to it, but now I did, and my, my, what an album it is! It has some things Katatonia has never done before or after. It's really unique.

Berserk Rules!!!!

Haha just saw your post on Trower's page. I didn't even realize he was still making music. Been in love with Bridge of Sighs forever but never branched out from there. Def gonna give some of his new stuff a try.

Sheesh, what is it with my favorite bands changing in ways I don't understand? Katatonia goes too alt, Opeth goes too dad-prog, October Tide goes too death... Give me a break!

I'm pretty sure that the fans who praise the new album so much are not the same fans they've had years ago. With each change, a band usually loses some fans, but gains some new ones. That's only natural. But, all in all, I agree - they do sound more generic nowadays, and that's actually why they have so many new fans now - modern mainstream alternative metal is popular because it's simple and easy to digest. They got too carried away with integrating it into their sound - now there's hardly anything else left. If they want to change their sound - fine by me. What I have a problem with is the direction they're going.

I am sure that it will be worth waiting for! I wonder how long it will take for the next Tool album after this one? Until 2020? ;)

I'm doing fine... busy with college and so tired of this weather, its hotter and hotter everyday. Awful! U.u but I'm ok! :-)

Yeah, Night Is The New Day was quite an experiment - which was the best thing about it! It was pretty varied, and that made it special. Dead End Kings is the opposite - it's too "regular". That's what I didn't like. It feels like they could just leave the artwork blank and put a sticker on the packaging that says "Album. Generic Katatonia". Regarding the vocal style, what I meant was that Jonas' way of singing is now this same style he does often since TGCD. Not just the voice, but this sporadic word flow, I don't know how to explain it. It's just like no matter what the song is, he sings it the same way. Anyway, I like his vocals the most on Discouraged Ones, they're so cold and distant, and together with Mikael Åkerfeldt it's the best thing ever. After that he went all whiny Robert Smith style on Tonight's Decision and Last Fair Deal, until he kinda settled down on Viva Emptiness. And now he sings like he's bored and words just fall out of his mouth. Eh... he should lose some weight.

Oh, thank you for the compliment! :D and yeah, I love Katatonia♥ Your tastes are great also!. Tool is pretty cool! How are you doing? :))

Dankeschön! You too have a good taste in music. I need to listen to Tool more often though. Hopefully their new album will finally come out this year.

So what do you think about Dead End Kings? I was quite disappointed with it because it was so monotonous. Night Is The New Day was really varied, this one... not so much. Same old Jonas' whining with the same vocal style and TGCD-like riffs... I think even TGCD was better :(

Everyone is welcome to join in my group http://www.lastfm.com.br/group/Shadow+Of+The+Colossus+a+Work+Of+Art%21

ich hab in dota auch am liebsten agi heroes gespielt ;) für bastion brauchst du keine xbox, das gibts auf steam, manchmal für 3-4 euro. hast du mal league of legends gespielt?

it's a fanmade dota 2 courier :) hat mich an den artstyle von bastion erinnert

Hey, yeah it did take a while to adjust, but I'm liking the album quite a lot. I still prefer the feel of Damnation though. I'm going to see Opeth in December, for the first time, and I'm really looking forward to it ^^. Yup, I listen to parts of the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack, though I've never played it. Have you ever heard Matt Uelmen, who did the Diablo 2 soundtrack? That's quite something... especially 'Rogue', 'Tristram' and 'Desert'.

Hey, vielen dank :) I think the same about your charts! Btw, I love your Opeth avatar xD Tchüss!

hey, thanks) new album is quite specific. Guys want something new, I expected something similar from them. The album is awesome, worthy of attention, but I was more attracted to the previous albums)

thanks for the comment...I havent been online in quite awhile.I made a move to another city and didnt have the internet for a few months,I finally got it today...yay for me!!..So hello from Monroe Georgia!!!

It's hard to pick one...I like Bites very much. It's true classic and movie samples make me shiver. 2nd place for Too Dark Park - very twisted music and The Process - last album with Goettel.

ja, ich hab mir über die jahre alle teile zusammengekauft (auf ebay), hab insgesamt wohl so um die 50 euro bezahlt. schwierig wars vorallem bei Band 3 und [url=http://www.amazon.de/Blame-Bd-8-Tsutomu-Nihei/dp/3898850196]band 8[/url], ich hab auch 2 oder 3 bänder doppelt. gedruckt werden aber glaub ich alle nicht mehr

I like your avatar ;) and taste in music.

sieht auf jeden fall extrem cool aus ;)

kein problem, ich hab dich in der Blame! gruppe gefunden und mir hat dein avatar gefallen :) von welchem anime ist der?

klar sind alle gut, ich finde jedes album hat so seine eigene atmosphäre. deswegen kann ich nicht sagen welches mein lieblingsalbum ist... bin da eher zwischen der LFDGD und der TGCD hin- und hergerissen. aber meine fresse, wie kann man so ein "altes" album dermaßen perfekt live bringen! ein sehr beeindruckender gig war das^^

thx for accept ;), nice charts ;)

Hi! Nice taste you too! I like all the stuff xD, not easy answer... I have favorite songs from each album, maybe a personal compilation could be a 'best album'.... I think they have been in constant innovation since first recording, but always keeping the original essence, the Aker stamp. I hope u fine some new interesting band in my artist list. Cheers!

Thanks man. Awesome taste yourself!

dude im hearing it and i am really liking it.. i just think the songs are slightly similar.. but i think i need to hear the album more times to really understand the sound. but its quite good.

im downloading Last Fair Deal Gone Down, i really like emotional and atmospheric songs. thanks!

what album should i pick first?

thanks for the tip! ill hear it

great taste dude

Auch ein Cooler Musikgeschmack und hej was ist das für ein Avatar?

Hehe Thanks, Yours is pretty Awesome to ^-^

danke, gleichfalls :)

You're very welcome about RyG though I had no idea =). I discovered RyG and Death the same way, from the same person in fact. 11:11 is my favourite album, and I think it's a real masterpiece. They're amazing live as well (they came to Melbourne in the same week that I discovered them, and I was so glad that things turned out that way).

That was kind of the case for me too. I first listened to Symbolic, and though I really didn't like the vocals, I loved everything else about it. But over time I got used to the vocals, and though I can't say they're my favourite vocals, they work. Then I listened to The Sound of Perseverance, and I liked it straight away (including the vocals). However, Symbolic is my favourite as it sounds more serious and more like a real classic to me. =)

I like your charts too =). My favourite Death album I'd say is Symbolic, with The Sound of Perseverance close behind. The only other album I've heard a bit of is Human, which I didn't like.

Hmm... maybe. By the way, don't you think Soil's Song sounds kinda like a demo version of New Night and Rusted is a bit like The Longest Year?

Well, I listened to TGCD... It is overrated after all. It's a pretty mediocre album like Last Fair Deal Gone Down, some songs are good, some are OK, some are "meh..." (I can clarify which ones exactly if you want). It does sound like Viva Emptiness but I liked Viva Emptiness better. Not to mention Night Is The New Day, which is just epic.

Strange. Is it actually good? I always thought it's some commercial alternative shit and despised it because it's too popular and seems to be overrated. Didn't even listen to it, except for My Twin. Well MAYBE I should try it, you have a great taste so maybe it's not that bad after all.

Watched it. Really great. Liked how they played Wreath and Hope Leaves a bit different. Epic, you ain't gonna forget that blast beat and the solo.

YESS!! They are here! The lovely DVDs! Gonna watch disc 1 today and the second one tomorrow...

It's OK. I believe not much's left until it arrives... well, I hope. I'm really tired of waiting...

Have you bought Opeth In Live Concert At The Royal Albert Hall yet? Mine is still shipping...

thank youuu. Stinkfist is also one of my favorites. though, i like the whole album sooo much.
