Sick I might actually watch the grammys now. Doubt it but maybe. Still going to have to listen to Britney Spears or some embarrassment to the term music.

I loved Angel Of Retribution, I found it fantastic and accessible. Nostradamus is good, but it's one of those albums that needs to be listened to start to finish and considering it's a double disc epic, that can be hard. Worth the money though.

I know a grammy means sh** but I think the bands deserves some of that candy floss, get those little sh**s educated in metal, it's all about commercialism baby!!.
