I changed my vote. I'd suggest Pink Floyd's "The Wall" not only because it is an insanely brilliant piece of work but also because I think you'd have a better chance working with a text the markers would be more likely familiar with. Check your email...

THat said - I beleive Mattias Blad sung on the new album so in that respect I'd be very keen to hear it.
Their albums generally get favourable reviews but there was life in the debut but that progressively got sucked out.

I agree with you 100% here Gary. I *loved* the debut, it totally blew me away and I thought it was one of the most original and exciting pieces of powermetal I'd ever heard. Chapters was bitterly disappointing, Sceptre was awful and Grime I found to be completely unlistenable.

However, I thought the new one was quite good. It's not brilliant, but it's not bad. Enjoyable without being anything special. It's definitely worth a listen.

Pete, you're 100% right. You said alot of the shit I couldn't be bothered type. Everyone listen to that post like gospel. The Ye Amen Corner song to poem appropriation, I used to do that all the time with music.

As I said, though, I'd be wary about even doing that...as cool as lyrics are, poems are easier - written to be studied and there's some really interesting shit out there - for imaginative, you could do this - always a nice poem

. Keep an open mind about poetry!
