It's not on this album but has anyone heard their cover of Songs: Ohia?

I liked that first Mars Volta album at the time but the second one just killed my enjoyment of the band. I get why people like them (I think) but it leaves me totally cold. I do quite like Rush and love Tool for what it's worth (think I had Lateralus in my top 10, hoping that places high).

Also I realised we've not had any Agalloch albums place yet, I'm guessing at least three of those will show up?

oh god

Alll 78786 Jute Gyte albums will probably place

Imago did you vote for every Jute Gyte album?

hell yeah i voted for this

at times i think it's better than monotheist

shit's starting to get real

It's more a continuation of Monotheist as it pretty obviously would have been the next Celtic Frost album if they hadn't split.

hah bad tagging there

It's going to be all screamo and metalcore from here on.

The 40 Watt Sun singer sounds a lot like the guy from The Decemberists.

It's hugely emotional. It would not be out of place on the My So-Called Life soundtrack, not that that's a bad thing

He was the singer of Warning

I still need to listen to Watching from a Distance

40 Watt Sun sounds like bad craft beer having a midlife crisis

i really love axe to fall, it felt like their second best album (after jane doe) at the time and i think it still does

can someone punch imago for me please?

Guess who is up next again

What a painting!

Where it all began (for me). The painting is amazing. Romanticism is ultimately fatal.

Think we might be finally into single figures now for Jute Gyte albums to come

Only one more! Hopefully quite high

Oh look, where it all began (with me and dissonant black metal as a whole)

Have always dreamed of turning the jam 8/9 minutes into The Repellent Scars Of Abandon And Election into a hip-hop loop

This Converge album is sick.

Now we're talking. Though I like Paracletus more because it's leaner and nastier.

Whoa. Had expected this to be considerably higher

Think this is the 4th Yob album to place

Currently on tour in Europe

A pleasing comeback album.

I can't get along with vocals like that at all. This Yob album on the other hand is pretty great.
