Jesus fuckin' Christ!!! I think that "Nighttime Birds" is my all-time favourite album from The Gathering. It's nonsense to state something like that, I know, because every album has its very own personality and its very own elements that make it special and worthwhile, but maybe this has to do with the fact that "Nighttime Birds" was my first album from the band. In any case, I really love "Nighttime Birds" and it's a shock for me to see it being voted as the "least favourite album". Bahhh... that won't change anything anyway! The album rules! :D As for the poll itself, I am sorry, for I am really unable to vote.

I find it interesting that so few people have voted for Souvenirs. One could expect that some would find that album so different than others, that they wouldn't like it at all. But maybe it's because those who hate the direction TG has taken do not follow this forum.

A lot of people say there are 'bad' songs on NB ('bad' as in 'slightly worse as compared to other TG songs, I guess).
Uhhh... which songs are that?

In my opinion Confusion, Third chance and Shrink.

I dont HATE but definitely dont like the direction they have taken at all, its good music but honestly I dont like them to do that :cry: and... hey Im here :P
Anyway, they were my favourite band for years and I like them.
Maybe Im kind of stupid because of that, because I know for sure that Id never buy an album like Souvenirs from another band.
Most of the people who hate the direction The Gathering has taken do not follow this forum, thats right, they dont follow the band either.


(btw, I do apologize for my english :oops: )

Easy question. Mandylion is the worst. The songs just are a bit boring..
I'd hardly call Mandylion their worst, it may have a few boring songs on it but certainly not the entire CD :roll:

You're right. All the songs are not boring but still Mandylion is the worst of the albums IMO.

For me, Nighttime Birds is the least favorite of their albums, it's a cool cd but some of the songs sound the same. Mandylion was the 1st Gathering cd i bought so that cd got me into the band so i can't pick it as their worst.

Interesting remark, because I did. First of all IMHO it's hard to find something of which you can say it is actually 'like Souvenirs', so I ended up with albums like Massive Attack's 100th Window and Radiohead's Kid A.

Then I found neither of such albums coming close to Souvenirs, for an obvious reason: the vocals (duh) are just really making the diference. :roll: :roll:

May I change my vote? :oops:
I've been listening to HTMAP? these past few days(some 20 times), and I have to admit that it is in fact a great album. :D

Feel free to mock me, I deserve it. :oops:

For my is MANDYLION a very very great album. It's on the same level with NIGHTTIME BIRDS. Music with powefull heart. This first song I've heard from TG was Kevin's Telescope. In that moment I couldn't believe how somebody can write such a great song. I nearly must cry. It was wonderful! :D

Sad to say, but it's Souvenirs. Maybe I'm not adult enough for it. I've just came to understanding of HTMAP. But now...
