    I think maybe it's not so much that 'Titinhis Anus' is such a great album... its more so that when it's broken down, 'Rocket Ride' isn't as great as I also thought it was too. And of two solid but not amazing albums, apparently I prefer the anus one.

     

    How do you give something 7.25 compared to a 7 or 7.5? Freak.

    Love that Edguy cover, fantastic stuff !

    Yeah I dig it but I think it's a trend. Their covers have been getting better but the albums worse!

    Nothing has been in the same stratosphere as "Hellfire Club" for me. A few songs here and there but nothing even close to that masterpiece.

    Apart from Rocketride of course which is far better ;)

     

     

    Out of curiosity, you guys haven't rated their albums, hey? I did, and shocked my balls off with the results. FYI;

     

    1. Tinnitus Sanctus - 76%
    2. Rocket Ride - 74%
    3. Space Police - Defenders Of The Crown - 73%
    4. Age Of The Joker - 65%
    5. Hellfire Club - 64%
    6. Mandrake - 48%
    The thing with them, is their fillers are so shit and they have very few truly ball-cracking tracks. So nothing rates really high, but the fillers are so shit that it's basically impossible to rate one of their albums too high. ;)
    The thing with 'Tinnitus Sanctus,' though, is there is no terrible filler on it... unlike their other albums. Hence it escaped with the highest score. Hardly a glowing endorsement, as in my mind I think 'Rocket Ride' has their best tunes... but I guess as an entire album, consistently, 'Tinnitus Sanctus' is their best... allegedly. ;)

     

    Basically you are wrong.

    This probably sums it up -

     

    "Giant came and went quickly. Pearl Jam came along, and that was it! We moved back to Nashville," Huff reflects to Rolling Stone Country. "I was a horrible frontman. I hadn't been born to be that. So I just jumped back into what I knew, which was playing sessions. In the changing face of country music, it was perfect."

     

    I do like that sort of candidness. I can appreciate that. I never saw them live, obviously, but on record, shit frontman or not, the dude did a better job that a gigantic percentage of his peers.

     

    Ive read that quote before... and cant understand it either. Amazing guitarist and a singer with a unique passionate voice.

     

    He's one of my favourite musicians... the guy has played on hundreds of records across multiple genres and is a plain legend. I find myself buying some weird albums just because he plays on them.
