My view of that Magna Carta album:

it's hilariously hippy and spinal tap but also has a small element of awesomeness at times actually! The title track is really funny, but also kind of mysterious and cool. And the cover art is very atmospheric.

"Astride a great CHARGER, with a cloak of white samite..." :lol:

"Gatherin' in the harvest..." :lol:

Yeah.... I'd agree with that...pretty cliche' but it's still an album I can listen all the way through and enjoy each time. A good winter album.

I recommend that everyone goes to the shops tomorrow and buys The Roundhouse Tapes by Opeth. As far as live albums go, it's almost the best one out there, with How The West Was Won topping that particular chart. Blackwater Park and Demon of the Fall will make you shit your pants.

The problem is there isn't much like SYL out there. I suppose early Fear Factory but even that's not precisely right. Ministry's Rio Grande Blood might do you good if you don't mind the constant Bush-baiting.

The last thing I need is a music recommendation. I have NO money.

There's an unseen fortune under their belts

I think Devin Townsend is quite retarded, but I'd like to hear some Strapping Young Boys.

:lol: Yes, I'd go with that. But although I haven't heard Made In Japan in it's entirety, I might even rate The Roundhouse Tapes above the other three. But I always do this when I get a new album, I think it's the best thing in the world then I slowly realise it's not, with the exception of Ghost Reveries and 10,000 Days, which means Opeth and Tool are the best and therefore The Roundhouse Tapes definitely is the (second) best (live album). I wonder if Tool will ever release a live album. It'll probably be pointless without the lasers though.

But now I think about it, the only live albums I've listened to in the past as much as I've listened to this album (considering I've only had it two days and have pretty much only listened to this since) are How The West... and Maiden's Rock In Rio. And maybe Halford's Live Insurrection.
