What was your rating for that Alias Brent. I remember thinking it was decent

I like it - it's a bit of a melodic rock classic and Freddy Curci was a monster vocalist.  Rating would be up in the high 80's.

The AOR/melodic rock part of my collection has been neglected for a long time , so starting to inject a bit of it into my listening for a while.

Does the Avatar mean anything to you?

I quite like Osukaru. The Alias is ok, a bit too polished for me to love it.

The Steve Stevens is a cracker.  I was recommending it in the classic albums of the 80s thread.

The Dokken is ok, but not a patch on the early stuff.

Love the Survivor.

Only Praying Mantis I've heard is Sanctuary which is a great album. Listened to the odd old track on YouTube and wasn't that impressed. I have been in a NWOBHM mood in the last few days though.

Not listened to anything today as we've been busy with my youngest' birthday party. About to put that right though, lining up ADTOE. Not sure where I'll go from there.

This album is so... intense. One of the best releases of the year so far.

in all seriousness...

How is it?
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

Winger have found their way back into my regular listening.  The latest one is still really enjoyable.

That Evergrey is still incredible.

Sorry for the huge cover, but couldn't find another one

These days I'm busy with the roulette, but Freak Machine caught my eye in a Plug DJ session with our dearest Sacul, and I checked it out. Fuck yeah it's good.

Nice! I saw her with Glen Hansard once. It was an amazing gig.

I'm not Lucas, but it's Russian kind of progressive chamber acoustic stuff with female vocals, piano, violin and cello. (I think it was a string quartet on the album.) It's enjoyable enough. Don't go for a blind buy though. :biggrin:




This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

Two thumbs up for all of this.  Listened to ToM myself last week.  Fantastic album.
