[Mr. HCI]

The Circle of Ouroborus "She's Lost Control" cover you have linked is from their 2006 album, Shores, not their 2007 album, which was Streams. Where'd ya' get the title Orbis Excessum? Great band, either way; I've become obsessed with them and their pals Nuit Noire.

[BrianTurner]

Whoops, you're right, Mr. Horribly Charred Infant. That Orbis Excessum is on the cover of the sleeve hence I always thought that was the title. Nuit Noire rule!!

[special tommy]

wish weezer cover "more mittens" or honda introduces a car that runs on mittens no justice no peace
