PocketMetal Posts: 750 From: Iran	Permalink 05.02.2014 - 19:39 PocketMetal Posts: 750 From: Iran I went for The Quiet Eternity. but I like the name The Quantum Enigma ... the new Mayan album wasn't half-bad but I wasn't blown away either , I hope the Epica album is better. judging by 2013 we definitely need better albums in the genre.

Secondary bet: Which rapper will be appearing on the album? I'm going for 50 Cent. Okay, Jiri will bet. He believes that Fred Durst, Kid Rock, Pink, Miley Cyrus, Kanye West and Sharon Den Adel will perform guest vox. If not them, than at least Gaahl will show for some action. Loading...

Troy Killjoy perfunctionist Posts: 21306 From: Canada	Permalink 06.02.2014 - 14:54 Troy Killjoy perfunctionist Posts: 21306 From: Canada Written by deadone on 06.02.2014 at 08:02 What do most Metal titles mean these days? It was easy when they were straight forward without any pseudo-intellectual garbage. To be fair, this is a pretty straightforward title. It's about quantum theory, which I wouldn't call pseudo-intellectual at all, although their approach may or may not be the most "sophisticated" per se so it's hard to say how this will be perceived. Not every band can release a Scream Bloody Gore. ---- "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something." Loading...
