I;m not voting for it. As long as this contest stays in the Just for Fun section, other albums have a chance. ------------- back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums |

True, but in reality the majority will vote for Close to the Edge to get to the finals and eventually win. Then again, it's not really a big deal as this is just a game.  -------------
