Teh ultimate therapy album of course, The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack

02. Which album are you most likely to listen to when feeling high?
Any of the albums 2-7 would do but if I have to pick only one, then it's gotta be Mars (Vanillaaaah, baby!).

03. Which album have you liked the longest?
Dance of Death, the album that got me into Maiden in the first place.

04. Which album have you liked for the least amount of time?
Saints of Los Angeles, since it was only released in June 2008.

05. If you had to throw one album away, which one would you pick?
Sorry, Gackt. It was fun as long as it lasted.

06. If you had to offer one album to a friend, which one would you pick?
I would recommend Heroin Diaries Soundtrack to anyone, anytime, anyplace - and I do, too. Hmm, I could actually almost start a tradition of giving it as a birthday present for all my friends. Neat.

07. Which album have you listened to the most?
Heroin Diaries. Seems to be impossible to get bored of those songs.

08. Which album have you listened to the least?
Well, Last.fm obviously says it's Dance of Death but since I've been listening to it way before I even joined Last.fm it has to be The Velvet Underground & Nico.

09. Which album would you listen to to make you feel better if you were down?
Any of these albums would help. Dr. Feelgood would probably help the most (it's all in the name, isn't it).

10. Which album has influenced you the most in your life?
Wow, most of them have influenced me a lot. Hell of a lot actually. But oh well, it's gotta be Heroin Diaries again. Cheers, Nikki. However, VU & Nico and In Lust We Trust have been truly lifechanging albums in their own regard.

32. Which song from #3 & #5 would you like someone to make a cover of, and who?
