I mean.... I do. What would you suggest I listen to instead?

So again I ask you for suggestions. Rather than **** on my taste and what I already like, why don't you provide albums that I might enjoy that you also enjoy

Oh FFS!

So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on!!!

*widdly diddly diddly doo*

Jesus Christ! We are almost there Batlord. Be patient.

They talking about their fans there? :laughing:

Suggestion:
If you haven't heard it, one of the best new wave albums of the eighties...

Heartbeat City - The Cars

Love The Cars! One of my favorite bands. Though I haven't listened to that album in quite some time. My mom used to play that one and, Panorama a lot. Plus I bought the debut with my own money. One of the first albums I bought on cd. Not the first but certainly close.

That part in "Funeralopolis" when the audio sounds like it's destroying your speakers is one of the high points in metal. Even though I know it's coming it still makes me just a little bit paranoid every time I hear it.

Yeah. I dig Epica for the Kamelot connection, but I kind of have to force myself to listen to them. They're like if Nightwish and Within Temptation had a kid, and it was a bit, well, shall we say, oxygen deprived?

Have you listened to Edenbridge or Leaves' Eyes as a matter of interest?

That's exactly how I felt with this album. I've heard Edenbridge's stuff a while back, but failed to really get into it. Leave's Eyes however I have not heard.

You should wright more about each album and focus less on number ratings. Would make more people read.
