Coffee!!
This has to be my all time favourite album. There's not a single bad/weak song on it.

I love this album... I've been having this album as a background while writing my dissertation. The hell... there's not review! As soon as my dissertation's ready, I'm going to fix this mistake!

It's gonna take a little time... probably more than just a little but these are things that aren't entirely up to me...

My favourite album of all time, with my favourite male vocalist. No skip songs, no fillers, just pure awesomeness. I would write a review, but my English is not good enough and it would be extremely biased anyway
Go Wuthering Heights!

Fantastic album, far exceeded my expectations. Deserves to sit in the top 200 alongside Blind Guardian's best work. Underrated at 8.6 with 140 votes (at time of writing).

9.1/10 for me - 'The Road Goes Ever On' is the standout track. 'Tree' and 'Bad Hobbits Die Hard' are also fantastic.

...and I finally enter the mystic forest with hidden elves in "The Bollard". Great album but I prefer "The Shadow Cabinet" a little more.
