        Well, I guess I should chime in, here, to put my 0.05 buckazoids in.
        Black Sword: Well, often, I don't like it, but when I'm in the mood for
it, such as when I've been (over) indulging in alcoholic beverages, I
tend to love it. The video, though, I doubt I will ever like (on account
of the stupid Elric person). Live Chronicles, on the other hand is
great.
        Palace Springs: Yes, I love this album. And has anyone ever noticed
that in the middle of one of the songs, I can't remember which, the tune
transforms into "Bela Legosi's Dead" by a certain gothic(ish) band. It's
exactly the same, to my slightly warped ears...
        IITBOTFTBD: Well, I don't actually own this album, but a friend of mine
does, and we have has some very *strange* experiences whilst listening
to it, so I have my own er... sentimental links to it. This being said,
I actualy like it a lot. IMHO it's far better than Xenon Codex.
        I don't have Yuri Gagrin, so I can't comment on that, but my personal
nomination for the worst HW (related) album is Pinkwind Festival of the
Sun. Now, that's crap.
        So that's my little bit.
