Apocalyptica are a different sort of heavy metal band. Imagine "One" being played on cellos and you have this album. Although at frst I thought that it would be corny, I came to realise that this album really rocked. When my wife and I have company over, I can put in this CD (or "Inquisition Symphony". their other CD) and no one knows that it's metal music. It's great, people who listen to country music tell me how good it is. How cultured I seem. Then I drop the bomb. Their looks are worth the money spent when they find out they've been listening to Metallica.
