We like the SATs down here. I don't even know the scale for the ACTs.

Killtacular 05-09-2006 08:18 PM

It goes from 0-36. 18 would probably be what the average jock would get (average for my HS). 21 will get you a low paying scholarship paid for by the lottery. 26 and up will get you more money for that scholarship, and possibility for free rides to some skools. 30-36 are fairly rare, and mean you kick more as[size=2]s[/size] than everyone else.

I have no idea how the SAT goes, though.

Ugh, Wreath is a huge snore-fest.:p

That 26 is gonna need to come with some wicked good grades before the free ride offers start coming in.

I have no idea on the SAT either. Especially not since they changed it to a 2400 (?) point scale. I just know I kicked as[size=2]s[/size] on the PSAT.

EDIT: Wreath? Snore-fest? It's such a killer song. I love the production with the atmospheric guitars in the background too.

Nah, it's quite a thunderous opener...

tr00f. But that goes without saying.

I think you'd need at least a 3.5 for my college of choice. Too bad I have a 3.0.

:upset:


[on topic]I don't really like Wreath too much. It just keeps going and going.[/on topic]

Darkness 05-09-2006 09:38 PM

But the solos... and the brutallity... :upset:

Killtacular 05-09-2006 09:44 PM

Oh, the repetition! Oh, the repetition!!

Darkness 05-09-2006 09:46 PM

Add's to the feeling and power... feeling and power!

Man I have to get use to your new name...

I got a 30. *grins*

gmoneyguy 05-09-2006 11:00 PM

I got a 26 on my ACT and a 1100 on my SAT


What do you guys think of [I]Forest of October[/I]

pate 05-09-2006 11:00 PM

I didn't take the SAT.

FoO owns.

[on topic]
I like Deliverance (the album), it's a very solid piece overall and I like all the songs in it (all but key parts, like the beginning to master's apprentices which I find dull, and some parts of A fair judgment and repetitiveness issues with BTPISIO), but it just seems... frigid, compared to say, Still life or my arms, your hearse, in the sense of not being as rich and... colorful, if you'd like to see it that way.

...eh

[school talk]

Stoo 05-10-2006 06:26 AM

I got Damnation!!!!! Finally.

Fu[SIZE="3"]c[/SIZE]k me, only took since December. After 5 months of waiting for D & D and Amazon claiming not to be able to "source" both these CD's I thought f[SIZE="3"]u[/SIZE]ck it and bought both of eBay.

Just have to wait for Deliverance now.

7/8!

Np - Windowpane. :cool:

Quite frankly it blows. I was thinking, "Who's this n00b copying Scruples' avatar?" ;)

BurningSky 05-10-2006 09:35 AM

I got a 1300 on my SAT on the old scale (650 math, 650 verbal)...

My GPA was 3.1 unweighted (I took all honors and AP classes)...

I got into my first choice college, where I am now completely average compared to everyone else. College is definitely awesome, though. You have to deal with far less stupid people...

Darkness 05-10-2006 04:26 PM

Several Album Re-Releases!
SONY.BMG is rereleasing several Opeth albums from the Music For Nations Catalogue including:

Deliverance
Damnation
Blackwater Park
Lamentations DVD (this one will be released 3rd July by all as parts didn't come in early enough for June release)


Within Northern Music Co. (our management company), another band by the name of Paradise Lost, that many of you may know, are also re-releasing several of their albums.

View Paradise Lost's Myspace Website: Paradise Lost

Expect for the albums to be available in most countries supported by Sony.BMG very soon!

Whats the point? It's the older albums that are a bitch to find.

Shattered_Future 05-10-2006 04:27 PM

Moneymaking, my friend. Everybody knows those 3 albums are tons easier to get into. It's all about the moolah.

Darkness 05-10-2006 04:28 PM

I thought Opeth were all about the music... :upset:

I thought we were friends, Kage. You said you'd have my babies, and I believed you.

They are, but their parental record company thinks otherwise.

Yeah, I got that.

I think D & D are some of the harder to find albums outside of the US.

Darkness 05-10-2006 06:45 PM

I live in Canada, those are all I see in stores. Besides GR, that is.

Stormrider 05-10-2006 06:50 PM

The one I've seen the less is MAYH. Which I've only seen once or twice in the same store. Same with Orchid and Still Life. Deliverance and GR are the most common ones in my area.

I don't recall seeing Damnation many times either.

Come to think of it, I've only seen Morningrise once...

Darkness 05-10-2006 06:56 PM

I've [I]never[/I] seen Morningrise. Ever!

Otherwise I would have bought it.

Stormrider 05-10-2006 06:59 PM

I saw it for 16.99 USD :cool:

I was in a Virgin Megastore...luckily one guy who worked there told me to check in the overstock, under all the CD's, below the shelf thing. That's where I found it. Found loads of other stuff too, that I wouldn't have bought if it weren't for looking under there.

BurningSky 05-10-2006 07:50 PM

The only album that I haven't seen in stores is Still Life (I was forced to order online)...

The rest of the catalogue is always available in my local FYE, minus MAYH which is around rather infrequently...

Shattered_Future 05-10-2006 07:58 PM

I've never seen Still Life before, even at specialty stores.

Deth 05-10-2006 08:05 PM

I've never seen Still Life in the US. Everything else I have, albeit MAYH only once.

I picked up SL and MAYH in England.
