I'm sure many have noticed that the Acid Mothers Temple album Cometary Orbital Drive is the 'Most Popular Album' for awhile now. I accidentally discovered why that is. There is a thread on the conspiracy theory website AboveTopSecret that links to that album page. I'm sure that website is more popular than PA and the AMT album page is getting visited from direct traffic from that site. I like to go to ATS often just to read 'out of the box' theories and opinions. I don't believe it all of course.
 
Anyway, the OP of that thread linked directly to PA(which I think is rare for a non-music site). The thread has an interesting discussion about 6 notes that AMT uses on that album. There isn't much 'conspiracy theory' on that thread; mostly musicians talking about the six notes, or people going "OMG! AMT are so awesome, I love 'em".
 
Here's the link:

That is because that one was the most popular album.

It was because someone mentioned that album was the most popular of the day, which led to more discussion about it. LOL

It was because someone saw the album cover and said that it has a naked woman , which led to ""discussions"" about it. LOL


Fixed, Matt.

I was the one who pointed out that there were boobs on the front page. >:-O Also, I think the cover is so attention getting that it's more prone to a positive feedback loop in keeping it there, besides the off-site link.

Over a year before, I've mentioned in my review as follows:
Quote I wonder if Japanese mates can accept and understand this album with such religious and spiritual atmosphere.
...Nah, I guess sadly it's so difficult for them to do so.
