That is patently absurd. Blackwater Park couldn't eclipse my pinkie toe, let alone Still Life.

Do you (or anyone) own that album? I really want to hear Opera IX's version of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" but not quite badly enough to buy the album.

Tough call between Twilight and Apostle... Twilight takes it.

Yes, it's really a shame that Orchid and Morningrise aren't bland, unexceptional, overproduced pieces of shit like Blackwater Park. Tragic, even. Those albums are great because they meander, because of those abrupt transitions, because they command your attention. They may not be catchy, but...

A little Orchid love. Many of you simply have no idea.

Is it just me, or does seventi's avatar remind anyone else of Bill the Cat when you aren't quite looking at it?

If you feel that you have excellent taste: Buy Orchid or Morningrise first. If you feel that you may suffer from questionable taste: Blackwater Park instead. I just want you to be happy. [Note to whiners: This post contains at least 50% jest.]

<-- "Orchid fanboy"

It's a shame Anders and Johan aren't in the band anymore, I'm sure someone could have worked wonders with that top hats and tuxedos pic.

You people are spoiled fucking rotten. At least most of you know it.
