why.. THE FUCK, did you post that here? :?

Sure n00bs do a lot of stupid things and post in the wrong FORUMS every once in a while, but reviving a dieing thread, about albums, to ask a half assed make no sense anime music question has got to be the dumbest and most out of place I have EVER seen. What in your right mind persuaded you to post that here?

Maybe it would help us if you told us which DVD, since obviously you can't just look up the credits on your own like you're going to make one of us do.

Well since plenty of the albums I'd put here are already... here, I'll post my favorite metal ones. The two I think should be listed...

Blind Guardian - A Night at the Opera

I must list this because there's only... two or three people here I know of that like them. :) Well, the album is simply amazing. It's so heavily orchestrated and the lyrics are rooted in literature and filled with allusions. And the songs kick ass. Every single one. The bonus track is great, too - "Harvest of Sorrow" in English, but my version is Spanish... "Mies Del Dolor" or "Moisson de Peine" in the French recording. I think they also recorded it in Italian. First time I'd heard him sing in a different language and he sings it perfectly. Album name attributed to Queen's A Night at the Opera, not the semi-famous Marx brothers film. Not quite as heavy as Imaginations From the Other Side but even more musically inclined than their Silmarillion tribute to Tolkien, Nightfall in Middle Earth. Highlight songs: "Sadly Sings Destiny," "The Age of False Innocence," and the amazing 14 minute tribute to Homer's The Iliad, "And Then There Was Silence." It seems Hansi (the singer) pays tribute to the scops of old. And the drums are more amazing than any drums I've ever heard... but I still like Tool's. :oops: Anyway, this is my favorite album of all time, very possibly.

Symphony X - The Odyssey

First album of theirs that I'd heard, took a few listenings-to in order to get used to it. At first, they reminded me too much of Pantera with their guitar arrangements until I realized they are much more complex and not nearly as Neanderthalic as Pantera's. Beautiful album in all, ending it with a 24 minute tribute to Odysseus's journey in Homer's The Odyssey. But then, there is a slightly disappointing bonus track that really should have been placed elsewhere on the CD. Preferably at the beginning. The juxtaposition makes sense, but the album would be better ending with "The Odyssey." Other highlight: "Accolade II."

I'm not what you'd call a "metal fan," but when I heard about this album I was like, "Whoa, are you kidding me!?" I mean, could you possibly try to make a more epic album than this? Well, maybe if you did an album based on the Bible or something, but anyway...

Hey, you're from Aurora! By any chance did you get out to the Metro in Chicago to see the Blind Guardian/Symphony X show this past December?

Usually I would have a big list of albums that i have liked through the year, but I have to say when it comes to my type of music it has been quite stale this year, I would say the best metal albums for me this year were

Night At The Opera by Blind Guardian (Flint,I hope I am on your list of three men who like Blind Guardian)
Hammered by Motorhead (For me any new Motorhead album is a good album, Hammered I feel doesn't have the take no prisoners ass whooping that "We Are Motorhead" had, seemed a bit more clique, but none the less it is still a great album.)
Neurotica (selftitled album, I have been a fan of the band before they got their big break, shame they broke up)
Rise Above 24 Black Flag Song - A great compliation of song redone by many artists.
The Only Way To Know For Sure by Rollins Band (live) - The best live album I bought the whole year, I just wish they video taped the show and put it on DVD though.
I´m a lone wolf ligger
But I ain´t no pretty boy
I´m a backbone shiver
and I´m a bundle of joy - Motorhead

Grah... don't remind me. I was so close to going, but then I tell my dad I'm going and he tells me he's taking the car to some stupid Christmas party! :x That would've been amazing if I could've gone. Damn it all.

You are now! :wink: Nailz likes 'em. And I think Rubyeye said he liked that album. So now we are 4!

Well ICP have gotten a lot better over the years, all their joker cards all tell one long story, it'd hidden, thats what makes the CD's unique, i like some songs from a lot of them, but i think the best song of all on their albums is


<b>ICP - RiddleBox - Ol' Evil Eye</b>

I liked it because of the eadger allen poe stories i've read, their other shit i can relate to like Fuck the world, Shangri-La the 6th Joker card had supprisingly different reactions among ICP's current fans because they incorperated God, from a Egyption scripture, Shangri La originates as a beleif in Egypt, and to be technical Egyptions predated christ by 10,500 years, they were clocked back to 10,500 BC the Pyramids, so yeah, thats what makes their music unique, i'm sure 99.9% of the people in the world can relate to the song "fuÇk the world"
