My two chosen archive reviews for this week were due to be Satyricon's Shadowthrone and Blind Guardian's Somewhere Far Beyond, but I realised the BM horde will pickle me alive if I don't classic-ise the Sat - will I be beaten to death with flowery sticks for not classic-ising the BG as well? As good as it is (certainly worthy of a high archive score) I wasn't planning on doing a classic of it... but anyways, I'll leave it to democracy - post your thoughts, vote for whichever is more classic-worthy, and have a whale of a time.

Lol, flower stick.


Fucking BG! Or I'll get Gandalf to cast a spell on your computer so BG appears no matter what the poll says.

If you do Satyricon their back catalogue is complete for this site, so I'd do that one first and be rid of it.

Same with Blind Guardian!

This is getting exciting, the polls are close. Trapt, archive which?

Just don't make them Classics. Neither deserve it. They deserve just Archive reviews.

I do hope fans of either band aren't going to take that lying down!

Satyricon, obviously.
The Shadowthrone is beyond reproach.

BTW, the fact that The Shadowthrone .jpg overtowers the BG .jpg is apt and sums it up nicely.

hehe... if you don't do Satyricon, well, sir, you will destoy the last remaining shred of hope I have in humanity.
Are you prepared to live with that?

My hope that everything that is decent and good will prevail is resting on your shoulders.

I can play all of the shadowthrone on drums completely through without having to stop.

Needless to say my vote goes to the shadow throne

Because Somewhere Far Beyond deserves classic status and I'm tired of Trapts damn opinion lately.

Oh and because I'm in a bad mood.

I'm wondering if Holy Terror took a dump and gave birth to you.

:blink: Because I don't love Blind Guardian? Or because I only listen to things prior to '86?

No because your opinions been rubbing me the wrong way lately.

But like I said I'm in a bad mood come back in 5 hours and I'll probably apologize and eat dinner.
