    If English was a sane language, the ';' would have been called something like "period and comma", or, even better, "dot and comma". Why even better? Because now that can be shortened to "dot com" = ".com", and then instead of writing forum.maidenfans.com you could write forum.maidenfans;. If...

    Come on people, don't kid yourselves. Train of Thought is miiiiiles better than DoD. Easily verifiable by comparing the sixth track on each album.

    I actually really like Gojira, but this album does sound kinda dry. I never knew how big the leap from this to From Mars to Sirius is.

    I also find it funny how PoS have a dramatic sound you'd expect in a prog concept album, and then in some songs they just go full Faith No More, especially Gildenlow's aggressives are so similar to Mike Patton's. Go listen to the bridge of Beyond the Pale at 5:02 and then to The Real Thing at 2:47.

    Right, I forgot to mention the production, it's really bad. It's been their Achilles Heel ever since. I think the songs are plenty memorable but I'll agree that it isn't as rifftastic as the 90's stuff (hell, now that I think about it, everything that came after is better about this). The rhythm...

    And if I'm already here, March of the Fire Ants is the best Mastodon song and I will die on this anthill. And if I'm already Mastodoning: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/why-the-star-spangled-banner-should-be-replaced-by-mastodons-crusher-destroyer-as-our-national-anthem

    A Night at the Opera is pretty good, I don't know what you want Mosh. It's a bit weaker in the middle (tracks 4-8 if you want to be generous), but even those tracks are very enjoyable at the right time, maybe except The Maiden and the Minstrel Knight which is the most forgettable BG song post...

    Round 8: New Clear Assault!

    Oopsie, think I forgot to vote last round, it would have been for the winners anyways Pretty easy votes for Burnt Offerings, Beneath the Remains, and Alice (a-li-sooooon!) in Hell

    It's technically "furious" (according to lyrics sites), but I thought for the longest time it's "serious" too. I think it's more that he literally sings the first syllable like "fur" instead of like "fury" rather than the mix. Not that "with furious anger" is very good either ::) especially when...

    Hit the switch, you son of a BITCH! To mine too actually, though I like it a good bit, probably more than Incantations. The double chorus is cool word painting imo. I can see that. At least, Underworld and The Odyssey have very, very different sounds, and Underworld's doesn't lend itself to...

    The Odyssey is great but I never liked the shift towards tough guy Russell Allen (and the generally more aggressive sound), and it starts here as I hear it. Some of it sounds like Meshuggah when compared to V and TDWOT. And eventually they took it too far and created the puke called Iconoclast...

    1) Holy hell this year is stacked! 2) Am I to understand from the seeding that nobody nominated Century Child?!?! 3) I think you missed my nomination :( (The Sham Mirrors)

    Terria is a bit hit and miss for me, but when it hits, it hits. Deep Peace has one of my favourite solos of all time, and Nobody's Here probably makes my top 10 Devin songs. And yes let's just keep Blackwater Park at the top, I had a great time today listening to new stuff but nothing holds a...

    Their versions are always great imo, but they sound so out of place when you already know the song. This version of the chorus is illegal. But I watched some of these videos for songs I don't know, and it's not like I could tell ya "yeah, no way that's how it's really played". A bit like when...

    Only now remembered this, he never heard the song and he makes up his own drum part for it. I really love these videos.

    This is going to be a heavy rant about a very serious topic, sorry in advance if you get uncomfortable while reading this. Just happened like 15 45 minutes ago. I'm at my home eating toast. TV is on the nightly brainrot gameshow which is essentially people playing 1v1 Sporcle slideshow quizzes...

    Terminal Redux kicks so much ass, though I may have nominated Alice in Hell myself if I remembered it exists lol. It's still easy Vektor. I just got to Pandemonium on Endorama and I was like "why did it switch to Iron Maiden?" :lol: Took me some thinking to recognize what song I was thinking...
