This thread is interesting because a lot of people rank SOI in the middle at the moment. I went back and looked at the NLOTH rankings (initial leak and 3 month later threads) and most people had it in their top 3 with some saying it might be their best album. Now some of those same people have it towards the bottom of their list (Mikal....lol).
I'm very guilty of hyping up new material too, which is why I haven't ranked SOI just yet. It's just that, it doesn't seem that this album got the "hype" NLOTH received around here and I'm curious if over time it will be the opposite and actually grow on people.
And Mikal, I didn't mean to single you out but most of the posters in those threads don't seem to be active (remember the oh so positive GibsonGuitar?) when I saw your Brett Farve avatar, it caught my eye. You ranked it 3rd in the "3 months later" thread, then in the "1 year later" thread it was top 5 and now you have it 9! By SOE, you may refuse to acknowledge it
I have to search to see if I posted in that thread....oh boy
