I love that you included the umlaut. Plus one internet.
Meh. It's a good/nearly great album to be sure, but I prefer the darkness and complexity of Tyranny and Mutation. It's like their Stained Class. Secret Treaties rules, but it just doesn't have quite enough bite. It's like Deep Purple's Machine Head, but without the completely flawless songwriting to overcome it's less laid back chillness.

BTW, how many people are actually going to be down for metalcore? Mondo is a lock, some other guy who I'm too drunk to remember was about it too, I'll make sure to get Dylstew in on this ****, but that' still just four members (including me), and I'd love it if there was a bigger pool of voters.
If there aren't enough people interested, I'll shorten it to a five album battle, and if that still fails, I'll call time on the battle and put Converge's Jane Doe in the Wild Card battle. Oh yeah, ContrivedNihilism might be down, but I don't know how he's gonna be about a bunch of old school metalcore bands.

I'll have to wait and see if I know any of the bands.

I'm sure you won't. Here's some Botch for ya. I doubt you'll dig them, but they're all technical and ****, so your prog lovin' ass might appreciate some of their sound. Probably not, though.

Machine Head on the other hand is a different animal, it's that classic hard rock album that feels like it was written on the road and then thrown altogether, which is kind of what happened when you see a documentary on it and in this case it came out perfectly, rather than sounding like a studio beast which the BOC album sounds like.

I know a few albums on the list and if it comes down to them I'll vote.

I've often wondered how it would have ended up if the original recording location (casino) hadn't burned down. It's pretty funny to hear about what the band had to go through each time they wanted to hear a take while recording at the subsequent hotel.

BOC
and Purple To nobody's surprise, I won't be participating in the metalcore vote. Nor probably ever again, unless you do prog or power metal maybe.
