Well I'm not Dr. Emmett Brown.

One listen in and this (to me at least) is likely the most diverse round and is overall quite strong I think.  Some of you guys are really pushing me - who knows.......I may surprise you with my ability to take in stuff way outside my comfort zone and then again  :lol

A couple of the tracks are going to need room to grow (may or may not) - but on the whole I am impressed at how you are beginning to tailor unfamiliar music to my rather rigid tastes.  And that was the idea of this preliminary phase - to give you some space to do just that.

Should have some teaser comments up on the weekend.

I have. Quite possible Mason has as well.  There are few IQ fans around here.

Absolutely.  My WASP submission was actually a last minute thought.  Spent time looking for something then just thought, "fuck it, I remember Chad doesn't know WASP, so here you go."  It's often the best approach for some reason.

I am still mucking around with ratings/rankings , but a few teaser comments:


A strong, pacy guitar driven track that I enjoyed more than most $^$%^@  that I have heard.  I don’t think the chorus is brilliant but the guitars get this one over the line


I found it quite a pleasant listen ,although I am not sure that there’s enough going on for me to be itching to play it over and over.  It would work very well on an album in between tracks to create an atmosphere, which I imagine is how it was employed


The only album in my collection that it reminds me of a bit is Zakk Wylde’s Pride and Glory


the progressive elements were cleverly infused with melody and there were enough regular twists and turns (without meandering proggy stuff)  to hold my interest


It’s the sort of music that I would really need to be in the mood for if I was to listen to a full album.


This song doesn’t quite have the vocal or instrumental brilliance to be getting a 10/10 but it’s certainly very strong power metal and there were some little melodic things going on that revealed themselves over multiple listens

That would be a pretty long interlude. LOL

Am currently listening to the album from which I would get the next entry. Have you made any album purchases the past week? Hahaha
