Damn this thread moves fast... with four Aussie's here, not surprise there's a lot to wake up to:
@ Kade re: Firewind. 100% agree. So far, one of the best albums of the year for me.
@ Tim re: slow year. 100% agree. Only have 10 (11 now... I seem to have missed any news on Striker) albums that I've checked out. Mind you, I haven't dug in to my usual sources for new material yet. Re: Lancer... saw you listening to them, and had a go at them. Pretty good as I recall.
@ Brent re: ADSL. Jebuz... I think I had dial-up modems faster than that! You and Bend should get out and push.
