I honestly got pretty much the same today (I think it was the Greatest Hits title though).

 

OFFICIAL JOURNEY SONG RANKINGS:

1. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)

2. Who's Crying Now

3. idk Lights maybe???

 

...oops, I'm supposed to have left.

 

 

ranking is good (especially Separate Ways at #1, GOAT song) but I'd maybe put Only the Young at #3

 

The Essential compilation is super good, it's got all the songs from the greatest hits plus another disc of songs (less popular singles, deep cuts, a couple live, etc.)

 

 

After much consideration, I think I agree with "Only the Young" at #3.

Also, got The Way of All Flesh by Gojira.

 

The Great Cold Distance by Katatonia

 

I really, really, really like The Fall of Hearts now after many listens. How is this album?

 

imo their best and my second-favorite album of all time. less progressive than The Fall of Hearts, but the atmosphere, melodies, and songwriting are sublime.

Stratovarius: Visions of Europe Live

 

Comes with two CDs. Great songs in here, and while some songs sound like studio recordings, other songs the vocalist sounds a bit off. A good purchase overall EDIT: Screw that, this album friggin rocks! Listened to it a couple of times and it is excellent. The crowd is/was very enthusiastic, lol. :lol: Next time I'll try and get a studio one. :P

bought Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death), and The Pale Emperor by Marilyn Manson; the limited edition of Das Seelenbrechen by Ihsahn; Delta Machine by Depeche Mode; and a sealed copy of Machinae Supremacy's extremely hard to find debut Deus Ex Machinae, which I'm very excited about because that was basically my music collection holy grail.

 

my wonderful girlfriend Kitania also bought a copy of Arktis. by Ihsahn for me, which I'll get when I go visit her in March.

I bought three albums:

  • Mythodea, by Vangelis. Epic space opera with powerful greek choirs, soaring vocals, ancient instruments, and synthesizers. This should help with my writing!
  • Narnia, by Narnia. Christian power metal of good quality (which is a rarity), and sounds kind of like Stratovarius but isn't always talking about 'global warming is coming, we gotta change our ways! We are as high as the sky and fast as the wind!', which is most of their songs. :superfunny:
  • Art of War, by Sabaton. I should have gotten this instead of The Last Stand for Christmas.

All around an epic purchase.

you're right dude, singing about god is way better than singing about something that actually exists

Again? Your hostility towards me and my faith is tiring and immature. Also, I never said that global warming is not real or important, but with Stratovarius it starts to sound like a broken record after a while when you don't use different words and prose. True, I don't think they ever say 'global warming' but it is quite clear that's what is being shared by the lyrics given. It was jape, please recognize that.

 

I still like the band, music quality is still great, just need a break.

I had two CDs come in tonight, and the jewel cases were damaged at the lower left corners, the covers unable to stay on. One even had a part of the plastic missing, a shard-hole open for all things. i wanted to know if it was possible to fix the hinges, or if I will be forcedobliged to send them back and get replacements.

either send them back or buy a pack of jewel cases. those usually aren't that expensive and it's always good to have spares

 

Thanks. I will be sending them back, but at a later date i will be sure to buy extras and learn how to replace the artwork inside and such.
