Fates Warning - Darkness In A Different Light
Judas Priest - Sin After Sin
Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East
Spock's Beard - The Light
Transatlantic - The Whirlwind
Wintersun - Time I

I endorse these purchases.

I gave that Wintersun album a spin on Spotify first and it was pretty good on the first listen. Good enough to spend some money on at least!

Yesterday, I picked up Transatlantic's Kaleidoscope, but I also found used copies of Dream Theater's Live Scenes From New York and Jordan Rudess' Rhythm Of Time, so that was cool.

Can't argue that too much. DC chose the wrong band to stick with. Get Silent Force's album... it's incredible.

wolfking · « **Reply #674 on:** February 06, 2014, 01:16:03 PM »

I haven't picked up the Royal Hunt yet. Didn't know it was that bad.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #675 on:** February 06, 2014, 01:32:52 PM »

Let's put it this way, they're on a definite declining trend from from X and Show Me How To Live. I think 'awful' is a bit strong, but it's definitely bottom tier - for Royal Hunt, and for 2013.

Haven't purchased anything in a while, but you saved me from this. Glad I didn't pick it up.

I don't think D.C. is the problem, it's Andre. He seems to hit dry spells in his writing. The Mission is the last album I would rate better than a B to be honest, and X would be the only B in the post Mission albums.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #678 on:** February 07, 2014, 05:17:29 PM »

Vinyl:

Indian - From All Purity
Behemoth - The Satanist (fuck this was expensive, but worth it)

While I don't agree with this in full, the problem definitely is Andre. D.C. is a great singer, and likely has little to no input on the songs.

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #683 on:** February 10, 2014, 11:34:14 AM »

in hindsight "awful" was too strong.
But I was shocked at how much they'd slipped.

How is the new Periphery Wolf?

After one spin, it's pretty decent. Nothing outstanding, but a solid release form the boys, some different stuff in there which is cool.
