**** sorry, I copied it wrong...

I have failed you Trollheart. It was a great record though and I'll be sure to listen to them further.

It's cool. Glad you enjoyed it. I like that you rated nothing below an 8. I'm impressed.

It was consistently great. Each track impressed me enough. They all stood on their own enough for me to justify that rating.

Eh... I just thought I would give them a shot. It was good for the amount of **** the genre gets. May go back, may not.
