Nice. If this had some key metal picks, it would be perfect.

Disregard any mention of convention. Every album here is a winner, and I love Another Green World in the top spot

Thanks, I think the last time you rated it, I hadn't edited it to fit changes I made in my overall, so it reflected a lot of my older views, which might explain the drastic change.
