I almost want to vote for all the albums that have nil points. I thought Haken - The Mountain was being hailed as some modern masterpiece?! Anyway my vote is for Zopp - Dominion , an album that I never tire of listening to.

I found Jordsjøs follow-up to Nattfiolen; Pastoralia a little underwhelming in the songwriting department. It's not bad by any stretch, but it hasn't really sticked with me. Unfortunately the band got reduced to being just one of many that convincingly nails a certain 1970's sound. You still need to craft memorable tunes and themes, to stand out. I feel kind of bad for almost writing it off, as I can tell that a lot of work was put in to it.

-I was happy to find their latest effort Salighet to have everything I found a little lacking - in spades. To my ears they've even reached a new artistic peak. It's "retro" alright (as I want them to be), but the arrangements are inventive and engaging - the atmosphere enchanting and mysterious. Not original as such, but originality is overrated. Jordsjø have character.

Choirs Of The Eye is an amazing as well (and actually quite original), but these days I have more of a craving for Salighet:)

I enjoyed your thoughts on Jordsjo. I did pick up their latest, a split with that electronic band. Haven't spun it yet though. My favourite right now is their re-doing of their "Jord" album called "Jord Sessions".

Thanks for all your votes Paul! Yeah, but not your typical Opeth album though is it. I adore that record. It's so strange to me that it clicked with me while driving a van with my family on our way to Florida. This was going through Virginia I believe, and everyone was sleeping. Click!
