Anal Cunt You had several good albums,but all your side projects are basically anal cunt with a new name and you're hella' racist.

RegurgitateI cant remember why i liked you so much once. I think it wore off and I think thats why youre pretty high up there.

GallhammerGallhammer, It's hard to find
something I dislike about you.The fact your newer albums aren't that rad and gloomy lights is as new as I wanna get.

Insect Warfare The fact that you're disbanded sucks.

WatainYou'll notice I really only listen to your demo, because i dont like most of your other shit.
Bestial Mockerya lot of the albums you've put out sound the same.
AssückYou guys are fucking snotty.And as i do recall Necrosalvation is pretty fucking grind and ya'll don't wanna be associated with the grindcore/death metal scene because you're all p.c anarchist pussies now.BOO HOO.

Capitalist CasualtiesHow about the fact that I couldn't find your skate deck for a while fucking year!

Well those similar album arts shouldn't be a coincidence, there must be something in common between them, all I can tell is the presence of female vocalists on all those 3 albums, but there should be more...
but more importantly, what the heck is so special in that sleeping angel cover art to be worth plagiarizing?

Opinions are welcome but I would really appreciate some facts.

We know that last week was quite a pain because our charts came very late, and I saw quite a lot of people whining about not being able to get their weekly chart on Monday in forums, groups, even complaining to LAST.HQ.

I, myself, quite curious why should the chart be very late as actually the chart data themselves are (always) already available in Audioscrobbler web services on Sunday.

So actually we can get our weekly charts earlier, although it's just raw XML data, but more than enough for a spoiler LOL I know some smart people already know this trick, basically it's this link:

http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/Fulvian/weeklyartistchart.xml?from=1204459200&to=1205064000

The above link is to get my weekly chart for the week ending on 9 March 2008 (which is, at the time I'm writing this, still unavailable on my page)

How to get Yours

First, just copy the link above and paste it in Your browser address field, replace the text "Fulvian" with Your username, that's it. …
