Mine has only 7% :(

It appears everyone who likes prog has to check out that MindMaze album?

No.   :lol

Well okay, it's just not my cup of tea. And I like tea. 

Well, it's not really prog, but definitely has some prog tendencies. Very little keyboard use, but some longer songs with interesting structures that make it more than your run of the mill metal album. Definitely worth checking out.

The vocals are distracting me to be honest.

^Funny, because I like the vocalist but find the music a bit average (based on one song).

Don't know which you checked out, but my personal favorites are probably This Holy War and Destiny Calls.

I only based my opinion on three songs.  The music, like you said, is somewhat average but I can't get past the vocals.  I'll listen again when I'm not distracted by the snow ruining my day.   :P

With the announcement of the 2014 inductees to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame today, the realisation just hit me that Dream Theater are now eligible for it. 2014 is 25 years since their debut album came out.

LET THE CAMPAIGN COMMENCE!!!  :metal ;D

Considering that KISS only just made it in, and Deep Purple are yet to even make it in, I'd say don't hold your breath for a relatively recent prog band to ever make it in. :lol

Right. It's just past midnight on the first weekend of my Christmas holidays, and what am I doing? I'm listening to Wagner while searching for some good articles that I can use for writing my own paper for my Seismology course. I must be going *slightly* mad.

I'm pretty good thanks, how are you Marco? Really enjoying my holiday, I needed it! Aside from the Seismology paper which only has to be about 4-6 pages and which can be handed in near the end of January, I don't have any studying to do! This will be two weeks full of meeting friends, gaming, playing the piano and drums and generally just good stuff.

I've been translating (or trying to translate) a paper on religious diversity in Nordic countries my dad gave me a while ago. It's no wonder the guy who wrote it said those things are difficult to explain in Finnish - I'm glad I didn't choose the translating module at the uni :lol I've also downloaded a bunch of Katatonia bootlegs from a site that's no longer up with the help of Wayback Machine. I'm not much of a bootleg collector like a certain someone, but I wanted to save those because there's not a whole lot of Katatonia live stuff from the 2001-2003 era on YT.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

What blue ray?
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

This is pretty much it.


Hah, what a good day. I'm finishing up a paper on injection-induced earthquakes that's due in the last week of January, and tomorrow is my last day off before I start uni again.

Don't post for my show outside of its thread often, but feel tonight is appropriate.

"When Prog and Power Unite returns tonight one hour from now for the first time in 2014! And it will be a monster of a show. We will be running down all the new music from 2013 in a special 4 hour show from 6-10pm EST. Don't miss out!"

www.wpapu.com - The year end wrap up show is always a good one, especially for those who don't typically tune in or chat. Always fun to go over the past year and discuss all the new stuff.
