The Calling - Camino Palmero
Average one. Gems of this album are Unstoppable and Wherever You Will Go.
The rest is not as memorable but is nice to listen to.


Nirvana - Nevermind
Enjoyable album with famous Smells Like Teen Spirit. But there are other very good tracks on it like In Bloom. Worth listening to.


Hanoi Rocks - Oriental Beat
Maybe slightly better than their previous one but it's still weak. Nothing interesting or catchy. I didn't like it.


Short Cross - Arising
Thanks to Mr. Wojciech Mann I discovered this guys and I'm very glad I did. They recorded a solid piece of rock. Unfortunately it's their only album. It's a shame they didn't gained any attention.


Dead by Sunrise - Out Of Ashes
I was waiting for a long time for this one. I like it though I've expected it to be better. Still, it's very good and songs like Fire, Crawl Back In and Let Down are amazing. Chester's vocal has always been my favorite.


Electric Light Orchestra - ELO 2
I was surprised. From what I remembered I didn't like their first one too much but I really enjoyed ELO 2. Especially anti-war song Kuiama. I must listen to their previous album one more time cause I think I missed something then.

Original title: "Two viruses for the price of a bacterial infection"

Well, these don't take long to read :-P

I wrote most of this a couple of days ago.

ONE

LEO_ and Sanguine_Sky and Euphoria_Nemo did this before.

Made-up questions first!

Most anticipated albums:
1. Tarja - What Lies Beneath (2010)
1. Nightwish Album VII (2011?)
2. Within Temptation Album V (2010)
3. Liv Kristine - Skintight (2010)
3. Leaves' Eyes Album IV (an album of new ballads) (2010)

4. Anette Olzon - solo album (2010)
4. Evanescence - Album IV (2010)
4. We Are the Fallen - debut album (2010) (I was going to vote for Carly but forgot so maybe I'll buy her band's album :-P)

Best shoutboxes:
1. Nightwish

All the other shoutboxes are pretty boring right now :(

The crowning achievement of humanity in music:
Ghost Love Score

The loveliest, most wonderful song of all time:
Shared space-time continuously Twilight Sun and The Holy Bond

Bands that get undeserved hate:
Pretty much any band that plays heavy pop music and gets lambasted for not being metal, like Lunatica and Delain, to a lesser extent Within Temptation, etc. You can't equate the worth of music with its adherence to the boundaries of a genre.

Singers who get undeserved hate:
Just about every female clean vocalist who isn't the ideal classical soprano like Vibeke or Floor. Liv: "Ethereal vocals are weak!" Tarja: "Technically flawed and therefore overrated!" Anette and Charlotte: "Pop/rock/JAZZ?!? vocals in OUR MUSIC? NEVAAAARRRR!"

Favoritest albumses of all times:
1. Leaves' Eyes - Njord

2. Nightwish - End of An Era
3. Leaves' Eyes - Vinland Saga
3. Harry Gregson-Williams - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
3. Martin Kiszko - The Ocellus Suite: Music from Alien Empire (Have loved this for ten years now! :D)
4. Becoming the Archetype - Dichotomy
5. Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard - The Dark Knight
5. Project 86 - Songs to Burn Your Bridges By
5. Switchfoot - Nothing Is Sound (My first exposure to dark and rich music, 2005. "It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in....")

Least favoritest albums of all time:
I don't know, if I hate the music I don't listen to the entire album if I can help it. However, one of my flatmates played Vampire Weekend all the time this past spring. I HATE THAT MUSIC. Well, I kinda like some of it though.

Favoritest EP/Single of all time:
1. Andy Hunter - Life
2. Leaves' Eyes - My Destiny
3. Project 86 - The Kane Mutiny EP

Favoritest discoveries on Last.fm:

23 Favorite Music Videos

Strangest band names:
Black Moth Super Rainbow and their amazing song titles, like Vietcaterpillar ^_^
And The Devil Wears Prada, what's up with that?

I suppose I may have once thought "The Birthday Massacre" and "Leaves' Eyes" were strange names, but not any more. :-P

Ummmm... and Morten Veland's new project, Mortemia.



I hope they become (more) famous:
bloodline severed (The band Amulyn sang with on one song. The hardest bits of Design Your Universe sound like Bloodline Severed to me. :-P)
And this guy.

Kamelot Liv Kristine

Best pairup:



TWO

Get your overall top 10 artists from Last.fm, and find their three tracks you've scrobbled the most. Then note where they come in that artist's tracks chart. The lower the track in the list, the weirder you are... or something to that effect.
^re-worded because that's what I do.

Leaves' Eyes
Twilight Sun is #35
The Holy Bond is #21
The Dream is #31

I've never liked the Leaves' Eyes top 15 much. At least now the top two tracks don't have ten times as many plays as anything else, that was ANNOYING. :-P I'm pretty sure they still get played a lot more than the others on Last.fm tag radio, though, just because they've been playable longer than anything else and picked up more attention in that time, leading to blah blah blah blah who really cares how Last.fm radio works any way.



Nightwish
Nemo is #1
The Heart Asks Pleasure First is #343 this week and something like #1,020 for the past six months.

Ghost Love Score is #14

Howard Shore
The White Tree is #18
The Houses of Healing is #126 (But I'm scrobbling it as Liv Tyler - Arwen's Song :-P)
Isengard Unleashed is #56

Project 86
A Shadow on Me is #38
Lucretia My Reflection is #95 (Favoritest cover ever, by the way)
The Spy Hunter is #16

Within Temptation
Jillian (I'd Give My Heart) is #24
Memories is #3
Running Up That Hill is #33

Hans Zimmer
Red Warrior is #49
Run Free is #138 (I rented Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron because of this track :-P)
Drink Up Me Hearties is #7

ApologetiX
Corinthians is #2
Smooth Grandmama is #8
Here I Go (Against All I've Known) is not on the weekly chart, #138 for the past six months
^These are, respectively, parodies of Linkin Park, Alien Ant Farm/Michael Jackson, and Whitesnake

Switchfoot
Lonely Nation is #21
We Are One Tonight is #20
Awakening is #11

Theatre of Tragedy
Storm is #10
Envision is #52

я бы никогда не назвала Whitesnake своей любимой группой. Но я была бы не я, если бы не знала их честных, душевных, простых и красивых как жизненная проза баллад. это песни, под которые так легко с тяжелым сердцем... это песни, под которые так скучаешь по тому, кого меньше всего хочешь видеть... эта музыка соткана из неразрешенных вопросов "Is This Love?" "Why?" or maybe "Why not?". Вечных вопросов, общих для всех поколений, познавших любовь, и самых сокровенных для каждого в частности...

"Cause you're all I ever wanted
So come on bring it to me

You're all I want all I need
And it's more than I could ask for
You're all I want all I need
So much more than I could ask for


You're on my mind
All the time
I'm living alone"
