Kreator was surprisingly good, Metallica maybe a bit subdued (not in a good way, I mean). Two of my nominations, interesting! :bigsmile: Sonata Arctica has a decent cover, although, as Jer says, the vocalist's accent is appalling. :lol: Finnish vowel sounds work differently from English, which...

Still time for a quickie vote! Voted Hellsongs, because that was my nomination. :) And Anthrax. This was a bit hard though, because I don't really like either of the originals. And it's hard to be objective, if that's the case. (Although if I don't like either of them, the amount of difficulty...

Cooties and Corona have similar type of symptoms? :oops:

No, no, not that. I'm sure Perun understands what I meant. :)

I hope the symptoms go away soon and aren't C!

Give me a minute, will you, the Opeth song alone takes 13 minutes! :bigsmile:

My relative's kid had seizures a week after she was born. They examined her in the hospital and she got medication. The brain of a toddler is still very flexible, there is a good chance that if there's a problem, the brain will fix itself completely. That's what happened to my relative's kid...

This is my Halloween vote, started to listening to the tracks at 8AM Saturday. :p Avenged Sevenfold had some really nice melodies, even if the sound may not be entirely my thing. Power Trip was too powerful for me. Satyricon video was perfect fit for Halloween. Without this Cup, I never would...

How interesting, I only needed to listen to three videos above for this round. :) The reason being that I had gotten excellent tips from MindRuler about which albums I should start with Rush, and I had already in the past few days listened several of them. I didn't want to listen to this...

I still haven't read any real sturdy and proper scientific proof that masks help in the Finnish situation (won't say anything about other countries, because virus situation and cultures are different). Many doctors and other authorities seem to say that they may help, or that in addition to...

I hardly ever meet anyone. Twice a week I go to my nearest supermarket, once a week take a bus to go to the larger supermarket at the mall, and I think I'll be meeting my relatives once a week. I wear a mask when I go to the mall, although reluctantly. The number of cases in Finland has been...

Yay, the online event we had today had shortish presentations, two proper coffee breaks and a full hour for lunch! :applause:I think I'll send my thanks to my colleague who organised the event!

It's even worse when I need to write memos. I can't leave the computer for even a minute. Often the meetings go overtime, and I'm praying silently "please stop, I really need to go to the bathroom and I'm starving!" I also normally finish at 3PM so any minutes past that I feel it was time for...

Oh, you poor things. :lol:

My longest one without any breaks is 3 hours. (Once I guess we had 3 hours, lunch break, and 3 more hours or something like that.) We rarely have any meetings shorter than 2 hours, and we have a lot of them, and never any breaks. Hmm, maybe I could steal your idea and blame a bad connection to...

I have really crappy "sound systems": computer built-in speakers, cell phone, or headphones that are ok but not great. If I listened really loud, the sound would probably be so distorted I wouldn't want to listen to it myself. But I've always found it important not to listen too loud on...

Easy votes this round too. Ulver was slightly monotonous. When Nostradamus came up earlier on this Cup, I actually once started listening to the whole album, haven't done that too many times (although I do have a playlist waiting). When I had heard a few songs, YouTube got mixed up and I didn't...

Oh, I woke up at 5.30. :) (Daylight Saving Time ends today, so I cheated a bit there.) I read a quote somewhere that everyone becomes a morning person as they grow old, seems to hold true in my case. I get tired early, then wake up early.

It's 6.30 here, and this would be the perfect time to wake the neighbours by listening to the next Metal Album Cup contestants. Unfortunately the building rules don't allow making a lot of noise before 7AM, so will have to use headphones. (Actually I don't really listen to music that loud, my...

Not that I know of. But he rules minds, so...
