I'd put it above the s/t too

I know most fans don't consider it a true Alice record, but fuck... it's so much better than it has any right to be. I love that album to pieces, the 3 ballads on it are absolutely incredible. Really the the whole record resonates with me so much...

Don't worry. Only irrational haters don't like that album.

Album Rating: 5.0

Haha, not sure I agree Egarran. Most of the time I consider myself quite rational in my behavior and by no means I'm a hater or something but after spinning the hell out of it upon its release BGWTB does almost nothing for me now. Wore off so hard with no replay value for me at all.

Seems you prophesized

This should have a crushingly bleak atmosphere given the lyrical content but I just don't feel it. It doesn't help that it opens with quite possibly the two 'happiest songs' on the record, what happened to setting the tone? And also the riffs aren't the most interesting I've ever heard. Maybe I should've listened to this back when I was depressed...



It's decent, nothing special.

I'd say the Them Bones / Damn that River opening punch sets the tone perfectly. Crushing and powerful, that's how I like it :]

Them Bones isn't necessarily my definition of "happy" lol.

But regardless check Jar Of Flies dude, an entirely different thing and you can love it irrespective of your thoughts on this one.

Who said that them bones is a happy song? the whole album is an ode to hell itself.

Dude frequently says some crazy shit.

Album Rating: 4.0

Can confirm the "ode to hell" analogy is accurate since I feel like I'm spiraling into hell with each passing track.



Album is a jam agreed

Album Rating: 2.5

It's not a happy song, it's 'happier' than most of the other material on this album. And I'm not talking lyrically.

Lars Ulrich put this in his favorite albums ever yesterday. Not surprised, considering where they went musically around this time.
