Indeed, both are great albums and I'm looking forward to their third album next year. 2010 is already looking good for me with new Blind Guardian, new Maiden, new Priest and now new Gorillaz. More shall come along with them. :)

Yay, we're getting somewhere now. Glad to hear you don't think they make the worst music ever.
That's right, they don't. But they don't make good music either.
At least you don't declare them as the worst band ever, like iscrulz declaring FF as the worst games ever.
Also, I think the worst bands ever are found in the grindcore section, like "Hemorrhoidal Anal Suffering". XD
I was never a fan of grindcore and never will, although Carcass might be exempt from that sometime in the future.

Haha, now THAT'S out of date. XD For my updates, I've made it so anyone with at least three outvotes and are truly inactive in the forums are taken off the list to clean things up a bit. More than one new regular could be added to the list as a result but right now, we have plenty.
No-one was taken off the list due to having at least three outvotes but another regular has requested to be taken off the list due to lack of activity. Phil wished to leave the Regulars List and like the previous retired regulars who made this request, he is more than welcome to return if he feels he's up to it again sometime in the future.
This is a list of users who have been retired from the Regulars list, all of them were active at some point or another and were either voted off (the default method) or saved others the trouble by taking themselves off. They can be added back on if voted back on, and for those who were removed by request they can simply reverse their request.
Although it seems you've got your problem solved with getting through Kvatch, I actually had trouble going through there as well since at first I was really reckless with levelling up and didn't take my friend's advice with major and minor skills seriously. :S I had to avoid using most of my major skills for the time being until some of my minor skills such as Blade and Block were at a good enough level to take them down. However, that took a while as due to how hard the enemies became, I had to kill one at a time and rest before facing another one. At least that problem's over with and now I'm taking it much easier on levelling up. :)

DS remake like KingExodus said. I did find the PS1 port to be hard at some points but it was manageable most of the time. The difficulty of the remake is much higher than I recalled the other version to be.

Good thing we have Amazon and eBay. Otherwise, I would have had a really hard time getting half of the albums I own right now. Infact, if I was getting into all these bands before I even heard of the internet, I would have had to rely on luck to finding them in the shops.
Despite those sites, there are still some albums that are hard as fuck to get. :(

I don't know any Disney songs written after the 90's I think. -.-
What about those songs then? Anything after the 90's, surely Manowar have got to be better than High School Musical and Jonas Brothers in your opinion, even if you hate them.

Oh and have fun with those elemental archfiends.
I already have with the first fight against Scarmiglione (real, not fake) and Cagnazzo. Really tough bosses but I seem to be having more trouble with Dark Elf or maybe I haven't got my characters to be strong enough against him.
You're gonna have a hard time with them since there's this one battle where they come together as one and fight you all at once... AND NO BREAKS INBETWEEN...
I can't recall having to do this in the 16-bit version but maybe my memory's just poor. However, things are coming back to me as I progress with the game.
That game still is impossible...
Heh, this reminds me of the last dungeon in FFIII where you have to go through a long dungeon to face one boss, lose to another, enter the dark world and face four more bosses with random battles in between and then the final boss WITHOUT A SINGLE OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE! That part was hell.

I'm happy with the +2, especially when I passed Now-n-Again who I've been stuck behind for ages now. :D The next to pass is LockClock but that'll have to wait until 3 weeks time. Afterwards, it'll be a long time before I pass anyone else since there are several active users altogether. Perhaps no more ranking up until next year but we'll see.

Never judge an album by just one song bro, the rest just may kick ass.
I'm 50-50 on this. If you hear a song from a new album and you don't find it to be anything interesting, chances are the whole album might not interest you. On the other hand, the band themselves might have chosen the wrong song for a preview for their new album and maybe the album itself isn't as bad as you think. Usually if I hear a new song and don't enjoy it, I won't be too desperate to get the album and put it aside for the time being.

Hey guys, just passing by to let you know I've just turned 20 :)
I got FFIV DS a few weeks ago but I've been playing through it at a slow pace. I'm facing the Dark Elf right now and damn, he's much harder than I remembered on the PS1 port. I can't say I'm too impressed with the DS remake. While it's good that they've kept the story intact (well, with the exception of script changes, I don't see anything different), the voice acting is sub-par as well as the use of voice acting in cutscenes being inconsistent. Also, the bonus features I've come across so far are awful. I mean, do I really want to do maths in a Final Fantasy game?! It's even worse when supposedly the GBA extras were taken out in place for this. Despite some of my dislikes towards the game, I'm still going to beat the game.

However, their contests are even worse than what's happening on Gamespot right now, unless the rumour about the Bub & Bob and Samus votes being swapped around is true. I'm still disappointed to see Bub & Bob go but I hope Duke Nukem can somehow win against Link.
Man, a lot of Pantera debate going on. If you don't like the band, I have no problems with that. If they're one of your favourite bands, that's also fine. I can understand both sides here. However, I'm leaning more towards liking them but not considering them as one of the best bands of all time. IMO Cowboys from Hell and Vulgar Display of Power are fun to listen to but I never bothered with the rest of their stuff and that's kinda a good thing since I really don't want to hunt down the glam metal albums due to their rarity. I've had enough trouble with getting several Running Wild albums and more recently Slough Feg's Down with the Deadmen.
