How dare you! Epitaph is literally the best song ever and my second favorite off the album. Jesus In the court is so shitting shine.

Right. First, you contradicted yourself (as I'm sure you know). Second:

SWOD=Sad Wings of Destiny. I was referring to Epitaph off of Sad Wings...
Epitaph on In the Court is AWESOME. I hope you now see what I mean.

You confused me as well Mr Caps, but I realised quick enough what you meant. I enjoy Epitaph off SWOD very much, it makes me chuckle in the good old way Priest does (not a bad Priest chuckle like Nostradamus but a good one like Hot Rockin'), and I'll never skip it. I find it very nice. But I like a bit of gay old fun from time to time, such as Porcupine Tree, whom I can't seem to get anyone to like apart from Paul. Even though I only like two of their albums myself. But Deadwing is great. But I digress.

Camel, for goodness me. I need to get Mirage. And everyone, for god's sake EVERYONE, needs to check out Khan's 'Space Shanty'. Please, for the love of god, you won't know what perfection is until you hear that album (although it's not instant perfection, like the best prog it comes after a few listens). Unless you have the new Opeth album of course. Probably the best album of all time, and I don't say that lightly.

Yes, Jonny, you do.

As for Epitaph. Come one, we all know it's poo. We might enjoy it like we enjoy Hot Rocking but surely we agree the album would be better without it. Dreamer Deceiver is beautiful.

Sod of caps, epitaph is excellently amazing in cringe worthy marvelence.

Suck my created word!
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

No. Absolutely no. I can accept all other opinions because this is totally subjective but fucking Nickleback? Sorry but their music literally makes me squirm. I thought it was just 'How you Remind Me' or whatever it was but then I heard a song they did about domestic violence (with the cringingly terrible, totally bone-headed line of 'She's just a wooomaaan!' :wall: ) and I was squirming again! I have to leave shops when 'Rockstar' comes on because I feel so uncomfortable.

I HATE Knickleback...


Yeah but, you drink sick in your spare time, so...

I know, I was being sarcastically hilarious. But it's like the boy who cried wolf. This time it really is the best album ever made and no one will believe me apart from Bangover.

And Epitaph is bloody great, I bloody love it. Altogether now, "Old maaaan sitting theeeeeeeeere...... His head boooowed doooooooooooooown..."

Absolutely lovely. Much better than "I AM NOSTRADAMUS! THE LIGHTNING ROD!" Though I'm sure you'll agree with me on that one anyway.

i can't be "ringed with this", but iain is correct, ten is one of the best albums ever

whoever said any opeth album over still life is wrong (MAYH maybe)

and lev is a n00b, smash is better than all the offspring albums he listed
