Good to see The Tomb of Gilgamesh ranked so high. That’s my favorite TQT song.

Yep! My #2 because I think the storytelling in Broken Chromosomes puts it ahead, but Gilgamesh is great. Probably the best example of Tourniquet's weirdness making them better. The chorus is definetely not something you would expect from a metal song, but it's great. And so is the rest of the song. Even got cello sections. Currently my #15 song overall.

Tourniquet, as well as Flood and Echo Hollow, have an almost trademark eccentric quirkiness to their music. It gives a rather unique character to their sound.

Annihilator also has this element, but it's not used as often.

Another quirky thrash band is Rosicrucian. They only made two albums, but they're both worth a listen. Especially their second album "No Cause For Celebration".

Yeah. For all the hate MVOATR gets, that album is probably the best at showcasing that (and is also my favorite of them)

Your list is missing Mission to MACS J1149​+​2223 Lensed Star 1

I don't agree with the list but I have to admire the effort.

Any idea what Rosicrucian is about? Rosicrucianism is a weird cult-like religion, definitely not compatible with Christianity

Does MVOATR get a lot of hate? I think it’s generally (and correctly) thought to be the best Luke Easter-era album

Not to speak for Magnus, but I don’t think he was mentioning them as a Christian band, but as a quirky thrash band. Same with Annihilator, whom he also mentioned.

People around here seem to rank it all over:

I go back and forth between MvoaTR and WM&RD as my favorite Luke albums.

Yeah, I kind of did that on purpose because I didn't want to listen to 25 minutes of droning guitars

It's certainly an interesting concept, though

Many people do think that, but the people who put it in last in that thread really hated it. Fundy said it was 15th or maybe 16th, and Temple of Blood said it was 28th.
Out of 9 albums.

This. This is correct.

You are correct, Pethead.

You solved the riddle.

You're the guy.

Take a bow.

Congratulations.

May the Force be with you.

You are hereby granted Moderator For A Day status. 

It's okay. Kerrick and Karam (who will have a new podcast starting soon "The Letter K with Kerrick and Karam") are cool with it.

I'll fit right in with the moderators when I change my official name to "King Pethead."
