all we love we leave behind rivals Jane Doe in terms of pure bad assery. just in more of a post-hardcore direction instead.

Finally caught up... Now every time I post an album I will have just finished listening to it. Obviously If I have already posted it here I won't post it again. But if it is an album that I have heard before and it isn't on this thread then I still will post.

Jesus H. Dickinson! You rate "Loneliness" a 10? Fair enough but it bored the **** out of me. As did some others, as already mentioned.

It was the Return of the King. That kind of says it all. That, and two previous dungheaps of albums which shall not be mentioned in polite company.
