What's wrong with Blaze?

Once simply doesn't have any good melodies, lyrics, guitars, vocal lines or anything, unlike AFF, Oceanborn and Wishmaster. Only an expensive orchestra and an indian. Ghost Love Score is/was good but nowadays I don't bother to listen even it.

Has Skyclad made a new record? didn't see that one coming. I must have grown in a barrel.

What's wrong with Once is that I don't like it.

I forgot the new Borknagar album which was also quite good...

Nightwish´s Once wasnt bad and for sure wasnt commercial or whatever was supposed before its release, it just lacked a bit feeling i thing. Well, there are some good sounds, like Ghost Love Score, Wish I Had An Angel and Dark Chest Of Wonders, but the other songs just cant reach that level. Even Century Child was better imo...

Ok, let's recap:
- Once wasn't such a bad album.
- Yes it was!
- No it wasn't!
- Yes it was!
- No it wasn't!
- *bzzzt* Your five minutes is up.
- That wasn't five minutes!
- Afraid it was.

at first I hated century child... but then after listening to it many times it become a very special album, it's different but still nice..

Once had a better first impression on me... I love ghost love score and the Siren... and of course Nemo.

I don't like I wish I had an Angel...

white night fantasy of the single is better

I liked Once because it sounds simpler than their other stuff. Wishmaster and Oceanborn are great, but it's good to see that they're moving on.

Best Album-
Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm

Worst Album-
Rhapsody - SOEL2: The Dark Secret

Dragonforce's new offering is by far the most impressive musicianship of the year, by all members of the band. It definitely makes up for no releases from Iron Maiden or Stratovarius.

Rhapsody's new album is the most disappointing album I've ever listened to. Every album they've put out up to this point has been better than the one before it, but it would seem that Power of the Dragonflame can not be topped. In fact, this album isn't nearly as good as Legendary Tales or the first SOEL. I'll give Rhapsody credit for trying to create something fresh, and new for their style, but it is executed horribly... BORING!!!

too long to explain, eh, Babylon?

Good:

Blaze: Blood & Belief
Megadeth: the System Has Failed.
Motorhead:Inferno.

Bad: who cares?
