I'm amazed on not seeing more Novembers Doom 'pale haunt departure', an incredibly good CD that i think is suffering from the "i was released very early in the year, so people forgot about me" syndrome.
I mean, i can't believe some people can seriously say that System of a Down is better than that one.
