But Ruba - I love From the Flame :)

Well. It's not a bad song. But I can name 20 better Leprous songs without breaking a sweat. And See Hell is easily better than it. But to be fair, it reminded me most of Bonneville, which is awesome.

Might be a little too moody for you, but it's totally worth a listen.

You're talking to a depression patient here. :loser:

No that was directed at TAC.  (Unless you meant that he's a depression patient...)

That's better than I expected. :lol Yeah I guess you won't like Cult of Luna then, the Julie Christmas feature was a one-off I'm pretty sure. There's a pretty cool band called Khoma which is more like a prog version of Cult of Luna with clean vocals, I'm personally not super into that big contrast of a fairly high pitched prog vocalist with super punchy sludge instrumentation though..

You might have converted me into a Made out of Babies fan. :lol They kick fucking ass, but they want to make me break stuff and I'm scared of her and aahhhh!

The best Malina song wouldn't make my leprous top 30, tbh
Maybe not even top 40, tho I'd probably have to listen to Aeolia somewhat cause there's barely enough songs otherwise :P

Not even Stuck or Mirage?  :sad:

But Malina is pretty underwhelming indeed.

Actually I think the second to last track was alright
I literally don't remember what mirage sounds like

They're really good!! Check out Battle of Mice, that's another Julie Christmas-fronted band. :)

Not sure if I'll be able to send in time, can't think of any song for this theme right now, tomorrow is a holiday and this weekend I'm going to a festival... but I'll try! Otherwise start without me please

I had Korn song featuring Skrillex in my first roulette. It was okay, but I'm not really into nu metal.

Also, I've had eight submissions so far and the total runtime of the playlist is already at 74 minutes. Blimey.

now I'm going to get Light of Day, Day of Darkness, ain't I

No need to apologise, I haven't imposed any time limits and actually your submission isn't even among the three lengthiest. :lol

I dunno - I probably could name 20 better Leprous songs as well, but I don't really think of it like that.  I really do think it's a great song.  But I also think Malina is a great album and I know that opinion is in the minority here.

Crow

I think most people were fine with Malina but those of us who don't like it are really vocal about it

Granted I mostly just find it boring rather than actively unpleasant most of the time but it's like a low 5/10 at best

Considering I'd give all their other albums 8's or 9's it's such a notable drop in quality that I reeeeally dislike it as a result
