I love the Gathering so very, very much. I haven't heard the pre-Mandylion albums, but I can say that their last five albums, as well as the "Black Light District" EP, are most definitely worth buying, with "If_Then_Else" having the only (slight) dip in quality. I can't speak for the live album "Superheat" but I'm sure it's quality.

Also: They release a "semi-acoustic" live album called "Sleepy Buildings" in early 2004.

'sleepy buildings' is great
i was listening to it passively the other week and had a sort of epiphany with it. was thinking about nostalgic things

It got some very good reviews on some metal-sites.

i like it but I'm hardly a huge fan

It's only okay. I actually like the poppier moments more than the Gathering-by-numbers tracks.

Anneke's new album is total middle-of-the-road stuff, but I like it a lot more than the Gathering's new one, she and her band have a nice thing going.

So the Anneke-less one was just OK then? I didn't think the last one with Anneke was too hot tbh. I am relistening to Planet and Souvenirs, both awesome.

every once in a while I revisit the Planet/if_then_else/Souvenirs stretch and recall when these weirdos were one of the best rock bands on the, er planet. and then I also wonder aloud whether brad has heard these
