Excellent, I'm glad these news were finally made public. Most of the songs have already been played live on various occasions, some of them for almost a year now, so it will be good to have them released finally, I'm sure no fans will be disappointed in it.

Here's my list.

I was going here to suggest a forum donation function, but it seems you already were on that track. A lot of people use this site daily, and I'm sure many wouldn't mind contributing a small amount, I believe paypal can let you set up both one time donations and a running monthly donation as well, so you should probably look into that, I'm running a monthly donation on another site and its been working flawlessly so far.

Even if a file is revealed to be a transcode here, I wouldn't count on the people who reupload the files to share this information with their downloaders. There's transcodes as old as time itself because of this, and they keep getting spread around even if they would be exposed as such on this forum. So if I could vote, I'd definitely say a 100% ban on transcodes, especially concerning new releases where we have a better chance of stopping transcodes from even starting going around, or, if not for the whole forum then at least for the lossless section, since downloading a large album and then finding that its a upsampling of a 192kbps file is just ridiculous. But really, since people insist on using lossy formats for music, at least we should be able to guarantee the quality of those lossy rips so people get what they think they're getting.

I would strongly advice you against buying Sennheiser headphones based on the kind of music you listen to. They are great headphones but NOT optimal for any kind of rock music. With the budget you're looking at, my top recommendation would be the Shure SRH840, I enjoyed those for several years before upgrading and they're really A quality for anything rock with one of the best midranges I've heard which is very important for fast paced rock music, the bass is good too, they're not open back though but, with open backs at the price range below 900-1000USD you're going to get a loss in bass quality which is vital to rock and metal music, so I couldn't with a good conscience recommend any of those. One of the albums I listen to the most myself is Dum Spiro Spero too and I can confirm it really shines on those headphones. Hope that helps.
