    Hey Scot, you made me a Wobbler fan last year, so I won't pass this one up. Btw I just noticed a little typo: it's "Fortellinger", not "Foretelling". Great review, thanks! 👍

    Ooh! I have this on order but it's not here yet. The snippets I've heard and Lars' CV were enough to sell me a copy but you've just confirmed that it was a wise choice. Last year my album of the year was Comedy of Errors' 'Time Machine' and I know that it was in your top list too. Saw them live last weekend and got a copy of their new release 'Threnody for a Dead Queen' which might even be better!
