A rant/ not necessarily "album of the year", but pretty damn close thread.

NEW NIGHTWISH ALBUM?! Wow, I have to get on that. And I highly doubt anything will be as big a disappointment as Metallica's "Lulu" *bursts into hysterical laughter*... and "Death Magnetic"... and "St.Anger"... the list goes on.

30 November 2011 - Finland
2 December 2011 - Europe
6 January 2012 - Australia

Apparently the 1 1/2 minute I heard of Storytime is a remix or something? But it was official...But the production and symphonies are just ridiculous. So nope,  haven't heard the whole thing....damn it!

Get Arch Matheos Sympathetic Resonance please!!

Thank you 

I did, and I didn't like it. Made it through 3 songs and I hate John Arch's voice. Reminded me of Dominici's band, because it sounded a lot like modern stock prog metal. I just kind of expected more innovation from Fates Warning after doing prog for so many years. Trend followers, not setters.
