And the floppily doppilies in their horrid glue.

Re: Stratoforum Awards 2004
Yes, Third Wish was totally great....
Odyssea's "Tears In Floods" was quite the album as well.
But (again), JON OLIVA'S PAIN totally takes it, in my book. What a fucking great album......

Re: Stratoforum Awards 2004
Sure we are. See, you get a lot more accomplished if you do it with confidence. We all know that these are our opinions, we just don't feel the need to elaborate on our sentences and say, "This is my opinion." As Mormegil said, you're taking things too seriously.

by the way, Once does suck!
And to my opinion, Iron Maiden's Dance of Death was the best one (i know, it was released in 2003, but i've got it only now! ...damn, i just realized that i'm only buying old stuff...)

Re: Stratoforum Awards 2004
Good:
Therion Lemuria/sirius b (seeing them live this weeks thursday)
Twilightning-Plague house puppet show
Hard covers (Spinefarms bands playing cover-songs)
Sonata-Arctica-Reckoning night
Once is not that bullshit but it isnt masterpiece either.Earlier records are better

And this year's "tempest in a teapot" award goes to....
*opens the envelope*
That's right! The "Stratoforum awards 2004" thread! Congratulations!
Also, "Once" rules. It might not be as good as say "Oceanborn", but it's up there

Re: Stratoforum Awards 2004
What's wrong with Once? I think it was pretty damn good. Anyway the best album this year was Bad Religion's Empire Strikes First.
