Andrew-Woops

This cover just screams Iceland, doesn't it? Not that there's some geographical point of reference we'd all pick up on. But shit, this homemade good vs. evil heavy handed conflict just seems so daft that it must be Icelandic. Not to sound mean but don't you all actually believe in elves and shit like that still? I still give Andrew credit though. I like the name. And I love the album title. Kinda sums up the whole life experience in a rather succinct way. This album is all over the place like many albums of its time. And I kinda like it more for that reason. I am petty sure this was the work of some dude with money/time/sadness on his hands. At least, that's what I want to believe is the case. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Icecross

Here's another spooktacular album to scare the kiddies away. Well, really it isn't all that scary I suppose. But the cover is kinda creepy. I think what makes this so desirable is the fact that they played some serious hard rock and were based in Iceland. Not typically the country you associate with this type of stuff. I always thought they had to sing about elves and shit. Not here. Instead, Icecross choose to rally against religious zealotry and the like. Songs like "Jesus Freaks" still make me smile. Then again, I hate religious nuts so most things that blatantly address their ridiculousness are going to make me smile.
