Also, what were the 7 songs?

Alcest - Ecailles De Lune Part 2
Rosetta - Lift Part 3
Isis - Garden Of Light
Enshine - Cinders
Everything In Slow Motion - You Are
Rush - Middletown Dreams
Agalloch - Falling Snow

I still prefer the Pallbearer version of this album.

Nah^. I will never understand why so many people prefer Pallbearer and why they have so much fans. They are pretty good, but for me not near the level of Warning and even 40 Watt Sun.

Anyone who recommends this album to you loathes you and you should delete the sad fucks number from your phone and block him across all social media. This is crushing, melancholic and makes you sad for no reason at all. This album would be a fitting listen on your deathbed as you reminiscence your life struggles and successes. If you are a young and energetic lad skip this album and have fun, and do stupid shit once in a while.

This album can shatter you, pick you up, then shatter you into pieces again, and you'll love it.

It's strange I am sure, but while I love this album and recognize it as one of the all-time great masterpieces of songwriting and performance, it makes me feel absolutely nothing. I've never once gotten misty-eyed listening to it, not even with "Footprints". I wonder just how much more I'd like this (and other albums in the genre) if doom was a genre that made me feel something other than just admiration for the craft.

This listen is for you Grumpy Old Fuck. See you on the other side

May Marcel watch us all from a distance from now on. Will also be listening to this masterpiece in remembrance of him. R.I.P. He was a true classic no-nonsense metalhead.

Just like your favorite song from this album. You made footprints on my life. Thank you, dear friend.

The man was a guide for me. All the knowledge I gathered over the years was because he showed me the way with his lists and recommendations.

So long Marcel.

Currently drinking a lot of beer trying to wrap my head around all of this. He pushed doom on me from my time being bumped to elite in '07 ... too boring. This album, his fave of the decade, was the one that connected with me. since that day, a decade ago, when we lived in the US, random packages would just show up laden with doom albums and t-shirts. after I moved to South America, it was all digital (and I bought any album I loved). Continued to as recently as a month ago.

Blast this, weep, cry, or whatever. When it's over, turn the page to some great 80s thrash (or Mercyful Fate), grab a beer or Scotch to remember and celebrate the laughs. I'm pretty sure the golden-hearted crusty bastard would prefer it that way.

Don't know what to say, just read what happened, and I cannot believe it, and somehow I knew there would be some comments specifically on this album, it was pretty special for Marcel.

Even if I never met him in person, I learnt lots about music thanks to him, Shit, I'm sure that I got my taste for Doom because all of his recommendations and carefully written reviews and lists, dunno, I just knew that whatever album he praised, it was something worth listening.

Damn, that man had a terrific taste for great bands, and was a fun lad.

I now regret not posting as often as many years ago.

Rest in power, good Marcel, you'll be remembered.

I'll also blast it today in honor of our MS legend

Also listening to this one on my way to work today. Feels strange, I've never met the man but still feel like I know him. Been a member of MS since 2005, half of my life and Marcel/Ozman has always been there (criticizing my taste in music).

This feels weird, MS without Marcel is a different place. He was honest and kind, he was ever welcoming even when he was grumpy. There are a lot of stories to tell about the man even though we never met.
Next time I'm in Roadburn I will think about you. RIP old man.

This will be forever his last message here.

RIP, big man.

Maybe the lineup changes helped bring about some newfound inspiration.

I can guarantee uou that certainly did. Especially one certain change

Yeeeeeep, this bad boy gets a 10 from me. Good god the entirety of this album is soul crushing.

This is just about to get in the top 200, only 3 votes left

Ok, imma listen to this album because it needs only 2 more votes.

Boring, whiny lyrics, zero atmosphere

I thought about going with a more nuanced response, but this is sufficient.

Completely agree! That said, R.I.P. Marcel, despite all our disputes I could see all the goodness in you. May you listen to this forever and it bring joy to your soul! Peace.

I'll even (tortur...) try to hear it right now in your honour!
