Another pop album I haven't revisited in months but I'm glad I did. Excelent songwriting, many creative ideas, and lots of style.

The Gathering - Mandylion

I'm digging this so far. I mean, it's got Anneke van Giersbergen on lead vocals, so it's pretty much automatically good.

brand new: yeah this is pretty solid but i'm already kind of getting tired of it. it feels a lot less emotionally deep that the devil and god and mostly focuses just on really memorable hooks. a few dud tracks too, could never be heaven and desert especially. 451 is probably the best track just for being both very different for the band and yet really damn good and memorable. sucks that jesse lacey is a sexual predator though
caligula's horse: this is their worst album, easily. for one, the talky track is awful, i started skipping it only a few listens in. i hate that kind of thing every time. mostly it just feels like they wanted to make graves (which is pretty good) but didn't have a lot else to offer; the two ballads both feel like filler tunes, as do tracks 3 and 7 (the latter is just a straight-faced ripoff of the sound of the tide's sound except without the emotional depth). but i'll give credit, tracks 2 and 5 are both pretty good & tracks 1 and 9 are solid too. it's still not awful by any means, way better than the last few DT records, but that's not saying much
der weg einer freiheit: man, these songs have so goddamn much personality without ever straying too far from the album's core sound. german metal bands just tore it the hell up this year and this is easily in my top 5 releases of the year. tons of raw emotion, some really savage and sinister passages too, and yet a great ear for melody throughout. wish all black metal could maintain this level of diversity and intesnity

Eminem - Revival

I'm not knowledgeable on rap, I don't dislike all rap but I'm the stereotypical white listener whose only rap CDs on his shelves are Eminem. That said I'm loving this album and really surprised to see so much hate for it on Reddit
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

Y&T- Earthshaker, Black Tiger, Mean Streak

Great back to back to back run of classics there!
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Currently making my way through some of my plug discoveries.

Currently listening to: Earthside - A Dream in Static (two songs in but I'm liking it so far)

Recently listened:
Headspace - I Am Anonymous (4.0/5.0)
The Great Divide - Duende (4.0/5.0)
Slice the Cake - Odyssey to the West (4.0/5.0)
The Devin Townsend Project - Addicted (4.0/5.0)
The Thirteenth Sun - Stardust (3.5/5.0)
Grimus - Egretta (3.5/5.0)
Liar - Spirewards (3.5/5.0)

A lot of really strong vocals from these albums. Especially Headspace, Slice the Cake, and The Great Divide. Oddly enough for Progressive Metal, the vocals have consistently been the highlight of the past three albums I listened to.

That album sounds like there are three simultaneous piano players battling for the most notes. I love it!  :biggrin:
