My 1998

And, yes, there are a couple of records in the lower regions of my Top 20 that weren't really that melodic. But they were still head music and harmonic enough for me to enjoy them.

radical, dude.

Is this for reals or is this guy a parody of some sort?

Geir,you day has gone. Grow up and get over it and stop choking your chicken here its getting tiresome to wade through your crap.

There should be a load of 2-step here but I didn't hear any of it until a couple of years later. This was what I was listening to back then (I was 21)...1998 is a pretty under-rated year

when is this going to be remastered??

A bit surprised to see that you like that Course of Empire record, Chuck. I picked it up for $.50 somewhere, and really love it. Sadly overlooked album.

I turned Chuck on to Course Of Empire! I think. I remember taping "Infested" for him years ago and he liked it. I just couldn't get over that song though. and nothing on that album, though i like it, reaches those heights.

Crazy Town and Course Of Empire. You can see why we get along so well.

I found their way way way OOP self-titled debut in a cut out bin at a Warehouse. It's pretty great. I used to see Initiation for like a buck at parking lot sales all the time, but I didn't know that I liked Course of Empire back then, and the stores that had the sales went out of business. I've only seen it once since, and that was for five bucks, and I refuse to pay more than a couple dollars for it because of general stubbornness. I don't know what that has to do with anything, but Course of Empire are cool.

i wanna hear that debut now! and i kinda want to hear the third album too.

the update on their website is from 2004
