:rofl: Rush? In the same genre as Opeth?
Come on, if Sabbath aren't Metal there's no chance in hell that Rush are, they're practically the old people in bill caps when you listen to them next to an Opeth song ...
So you don't think it takes creativity to use samples? Listen to Aesop Rock, EL-p, anything by MF Doom under all of his various titles. All genres has creativity invovled, you just have find it. Also anything produced by Blockhead.

Sure its not perfect, but its more accurate than what you are going for, observe the criteria, take note of the part that says "vocal skill in their primes".

Just phenomenal.
Thanks to NSW for this. I really liked it too.
Thanks to Zarko. Liking the beats.
I read on a blog that this was one of last years best unknown Metal releases. Lying bastarRAB.
I'm downloading a live concert off of livemetallica.com now I'm about half way through with it.
EDIT: I downloaded one of the free ones and the sound quality is HORRIBLE but overall it's not that bad.
Utter drivel. These are just the most popular albums, not the best. If The Eagles are ever in a REAL top albums list, I may have to beat the critic's face in.
But hatred aside, I could have sworn RABOTM sold more than that. Wasn't it just barely beaten by Thriller in terms of popularity?
