Nothing excited me about it --- not even the bloody cellos! --- and nothing made me hate it so much that I never wanted to hear it again. I just simply thought it was below average, and after the way you guys had hyped it I was expecting to feel, I don't know, something. And I didn't.

I have far too heavy a workload to listen to albums twice that I didn't like, so it won't be spinning again here. As for TMR, that's never coming near my poor ears again. I'd listen to Cryptopsy or Cannibal Corpse before I'd go through that again!
