Tolkein is an amazing author.
i love BG's Nightfall in Middle-Earth (i love The Silmarillion as well)

I had never heard of the Silmarillion before NIME...

:eek:

/slaps.

go read all the Tolkein you can get hold of!

The Silmarillion is amazing, if a little dry. It's like reading a history text or the bible... only way cooler and with elves. :)

it gave me a headache the first time i read it. so i read it again straight away.
it's good, but i suppose it's told in a manner that's a bit too linear.

Ya, it was hard to get my head around all the stories at first, but now I really love it. Let's face is it, Tolkien wasn't the greatest "writer". He was, however, a great thinker and creator.

I have all Lord of the Rings books...including the Hobbit. I havn't finished the second though, and havnt read the third and the Hobbit :upset:

NP Einherjer - Slaget Vad Harfsfjord

The Hobbit is kind of childish, since it's written for children.

Oh really...I learned something right there...

[QUOTE=Hope Eternal]The Hobbit is kind of childish, since it's written for children.[/QUOTE]
True, but I still enjoy it. :)

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]Oh really...I learned something right there...[/QUOTE]
I think he wrote it for his own children when they were small...
[QUOTE=ACircuitShock]True, but I still enjoy it. :) [/QUOTE]
I enjoyed it too, but one should be aware of the fact that it's not the same kind of book as the Lord of the Rings.

[QUOTE=ACircuitShock]The Silmarillion is amazing, if a little dry. It's like reading a history text or the bible... only way cooler and with elves. :)[/QUOTE]

It is indeed dry, I noticed that. BG turned it into something very intense and emotive though. Knowing the story really adds to NIME.

Seconded. It is amazing how he created a whole new world from the scratch.

So, I'm going to the CD store in a few minutes :D

Still not sure what I'm going to get back home with...but I'll let you all know what it is :)

So...I bought Sonjic Firestorm :D

I was extremely surprised of seeing it there, and it made my decision harder. It was between that and Hellfire Club. I chose Sonic Firestorm because it was actually the only time I had seen it in a store. Then and well, I had a feeling for more Dragonforce...

I just hope I won't regret this...

I think Sonic Firestorm is their weakest album. It does contain my favorite song [I]Fury of the Storm[/I] on the other hand.

Still need me some Edguy.

It's actually the one from them that I wanted the most :p

I love Edguy a lot. At the store, there was Mandrake, Theatre of Salvation, Hellfire Club, Rocket Ride and this other one whichb I don't remember. I really wanted to buy Hellfire Club as well :(

Do what I do. Don't buy CDs for a few months and then go crazy. I love walking out with 4 or 5 albums.

Yeah, Fury of the Storm is my favorite too. I need to get my tickets for their show here in May. I like Sonic Firestorm more than Inhuman Rampage as of now, but I still need to listen to that more.

NP: Elvenking-The Winter Wake

Inhuman Rampage is a lot more consistant to me. It doesn't have crappy ballads or weaker songs like Once in a Lifetime.

[QUOTE=Deth]Inhuman Rampage is a lot more consistant to me. It doesn't have crappy ballads or weaker songs like Once in a Lifetime.[/QUOTE]

I agree, although Fury of the Storm is a better song than anything on Inhuman Rampage, IR has MORE good tracks.

[QUOTE=Deth]Do what I do. Don't buy CDs for a few months and then go crazy. I love walking out with 4 or 5 albums.[/QUOTE]

My problem though is that as soon as I got the money to spend to get one...I spend it. It's ...maybe a month I havn't bought a cd...no wait more. I'm not too sure. The CD cost 31$ with the tax :-/


I'll do that next time though...I hope. Wait a few months, gather money that I want to spend, not what I'm saving up...then come out of there with 4 albums :cool:

Surprisingly, this is the first Dragonforce album I see in a store.

I can't not spend money on music when I have it...

I want to get so much stuff, but have no money for it. Even though I'm sitting on a substantial pile of dough right now...

I'd much rather listen to either of the first two 'force albums than IR, I don't quite know why, but...

[QUOTE]Don't buy CDs for a few months and then go crazy. I love walking out with 4 or 5 albums.[/QUOTE]
I do that, although it's usually because I only have enough money every few months, rather than me being any good at saving money.

I did get [I]A Personal Journey[/I] today though :-D

Yeah, I'm really going to have to cut down on CD spending now I quit my job.

I'm the kind of guy who saves for ages then splurges. I love walking into a CD store, and buying several albums of different genres. A brit pop here, a heavy metal there and a jazz album to boot. It's great.

Tolkien's son had to wrestle with his father's ideas and compile them into a storyline, that's why. Fantastic ideas involving the creation of the universe through music.

[quote]Nevermore talk.[/quote]
I'd call Nevermore just heavy metal.

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]are they the same guys that do dungeon's 'resurrection' album that comes with the dvd?

if it is then i officially love those guys...kind of


still no sign of my edguy cds :angry:[/QUOTE]

Limb Music does both, and yeah, they're fond of extras.

Limb are great, Rhapsody are on there aswell.

Yeah, my version of [I]Rain Of A Thousand Flames[/I] came with a sticker. \m/

Yeah, I have a Resurrection one and a poster

NP-Running Wild-Raging fire

Though it isn't Power Metal: Tills Dagen Gryr is a damn catchy song by Mithotyn.
