    Ha! That was very hilarious and surprising. Beep boop? Here's my own picture from 2008 that doesn't load any longer:

    NIGHTWISH ALBUM RANKING GAME: #1 REVEALED

    Now that's called taking words out of my mouth, I'm on board with 99% of what you wrote about both of these albums! In sync with its theme, EFMB feels very sterile. The change in tone was so life-sucking that I had mistakenly almost put it dead last on my list, and only redeemed it to #7 last...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    Search and Destroy is fun, but just about any part of Deliverance is more interesting than it. More Human Than Human has decent groove and a terrible chorus. Still don't have a high opinion of it. Jesu Død is a little overlong, and basically a trance song with black metal aesthetic which I'm...

    NIGHTWISH ALBUM RANKING GAME: #1 REVEALED

    Dead on for me at #6. Theoretically this should be right up my alley, but it hasn't clicked, notably the title track, Dead Boy's Poem and Fantasmic which I understand to be fan favourites. There's something jagged about the songs here, they aren't as purely PM as on Oceanborn but not quite...

    I was stuck on a sudoku variant for 3 hours. Went to watch the video solution and I just didn't understand a rule correctly. So frustrating...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 79-84

    God of Thunder is good, Blackout an absolute snooze. 1-17? Wow. Feeling more like Black Sabbath today. Necropolis gets better every time it appears. I quite like Poison too as a glam track. Walk, surprisingly easily. Deliver Us from Evil is a dark horse for me, but... Sabbath Bloody Sabbath...

    I just listened too. Let's see... S - Deconstruction, Ziltoid, Empath, Synchestra A - Ocean Machine, Addicted, Ki B - Epicloud, Accelerated Evolution, Terria C - Ghost, Transcendence, Infinity, Sky Blue, D - Physicist, Lightwork, Dark Matters First of all - I have no idea why they ranked Z2...

    NIGHTWISH ALBUM RANKING GAME: #1 REVEALED

    That moment when Turn Loose the Mermaids is the first result on Google for "turn loose". I thought it's a common idiom.

    NIGHTWISH ALBUM RANKING GAME: #1 REVEALED

    I love how much experimentation there is on this album. Most of these songs stick the landing with only a broken bone or two and we take those. Ghost River for example, wickedly good prechorus, and the most random chorus in a Nightwish song. I think the child has already drowned by the time it's...

    Damn, 8 euros per month??? That's insanity! Here you get between 1200 shekels to 2600, so 300 to 650 euros, depending on your role and level of risk (higher risk = higher pay). It was supposed to go down to 30 months but now it's probably going back up to 36. Poor guys. Meh, as if you ever...

    LOL! First day I arrived in my unit, I'm waiting at the human resources office going through the forms, and some dude who's just been relieved comes and tells me "don't worry, time flies here you'll see". Damn right it does. I'm guessing after 32 months of shouting "ad matai" (til when) and...

    Hahahaha, great story man thanks for sharing! Military culture is so petty, you have to keep reminding yourself it isn't summer camp (and boy did anyone who forget get a wake-up call...) We had it too, it's called pazam games (pazam is how long you've been serving), heavily discouraged in my...

    Wait, so what the hell were you actually doing? :lol: Yeah, that was part of the culture clash. Imagine the most hot-tempered work driven tester suddenly having this quiet Ashkenazi that doesn't respond to anything and can barely hold a screwdriver under his command. It was hell at the...

    Hmm, it wasn't a particularly hot topic for me either. I don't remember any metalheads other than one guy who liked Dio, and another from a base in the west bank I was in for a good amount of my service. My musical contribution didn't go beyond putting Devin Townsend's ambient album The Hummer...

    NIGHTWISH ALBUM RANKING GAME: #1 REVEALED

    Ranking the bottom half was hardest. H/N was going to be #6 or #7, but at the last minute I had an epiphany: I don't give two shits about almost anything here. Noise is a powerhouse, the lone great song here. The songs all have their schticks. But like @Confeos said, it's pedestrian. Cool rhythm...

    NOW WATCHING

    I just watched Tarkovsky's "Stalker" with two friends. Already watched it once before, it's on YouTube with English subtitles. Wonderful movie, but I'm here to tell you about the uncanny parallel between being a second-time watcher guiding and providing answers to two friends who don't fully...
