    I don't know why, but the first two times I listened to it I loved it but the last time I did I was just like why do I think this is so great? It's still up there though.
    According to itunes I've listened to it 12 times, and that's not including listens on my ipod. This record has done more for me than any in a long time.
    I'll have to re-listen to it soon and really analyze it. The first few times I listened to it, it felt like a seven mile odyssey and the end of said odyssey was just glorious. But this last time it felt like a seven mile drag. :-??

    That does include listens on your ipod, once you sync it.
    Itunes is high-tech as shit.

    The Cynic is cool, but they've pretty much elimInated any death metal to their sound at this point. Not quite as bad as Opeth, but still noticeable
  • MetalCoresadesMetalCoresades Posts: 57,770 spicy boy

    PTH was actually supposed to be where BOO is now. That was my bad lol.

    EDIT: There we are.

    Slight improvement, but still. :-w
  • OPPOPP Posts: 50,132 spicy boy
    I have had to be sure that PTH doesn't drop out of the top 5 unless something really blows me away.

    I stand by my love of The Discovery, though.

    The new Cynic has really grown on me, especially after seeing the new songs live.

    What?

    Brad Paisley is easily the best guitar record that has come out this year for me, Rise Against and Crowbar were average with no real standouts to me, Times Of Grace is metalcore crap.
