...and the Survivor. And the HEAT...

I'd rather just listen to THIS 6 times!

 

[Crow]

yeah i do think i like this more than in a flesh aquarium, still some of the stuff that bugs me about that one but the metal here feels just better in general and it's a bit more cohesive

may pick it up

[Crow]

it's hard to pigeonhole this but I'd say it has more similarities to post-metal than anything else

and in that regard it's a much better realization of the "post-metal with female vocals" thing than Mariner imo

like this is one of the few post-metal albums that feels like it has a claim to sludginess but it's also just, really dynamic on the whole? i kinda like it, a lot

[Crow]

okay so how do these guys sound exactly the same after 7 years between albums
and it's just. these guys will always be "that guitar hero band" to me and this kind of music just doesn't interest me anymore. it's really boring, lol

[Sacul]

Still have to listen to the whole thing but I really like the closing track on this one.

[Crow]

the whole thing was pretty cool all the way through, i dug it a lot, one of the better albums from the stuff i've been checking out for sure



i listened to this entire thing and it left absolutely no impression on me. not bad but not particularly interesting either and i probably won't be bothered to come back to it. feels a little one note, especially...

[jjrock88]

Trans Siberian Orchestra- Dreams of Fireflies

Yea, I heard something of this the other week. I know what you mean about the 'Guitar Hero' thing. I thought the song I heard sounded ok. Might give the album a go sometime soon.

[Train of Naught]

Yeah they're still trying to gain success because of that song. they even put "Impulse II" on that album which had exactly the same main riff as Impulse. It's a cool and pretty iconic riff at this point but to repeat it and try to get away with the excuse of it being 'part two' is kinda.. lazy. I definitely liked Magic Machine quite s bit though, specially the Jordan Rudess features.

Still listening to Painted In Exile - The Ordeal quite a bit, crazy how I only just found out about this, so good!

[Crow]

they were literally in guitar hero and that's the only reason anyone knows who they are, luke 

also i didn't get that far in the album i just listened to like the first three tracks and then died

[Train of Naught]

Listening back to it right now, it's actually exactly the same song but with a cleaner guitar tone (which on its own makes the main riff sound less good), different drums, and some random string/horn sections thrown in. I hate when people undeservedly throw around the term 'uninspired', but this song is the very definition of uninspired

[Crow]

holy crap no kidding this is literally just like a wacky cover of the exact same song, they didn't even change any of the leads in the slightest

[Lowdz]

Nah, the Survivor isn't their best but it's ok. The HEAT is excellent. They are a great band now they have the new singer.

[twosuitsluke]

Oh yeah, I'm in total agreement

I much prefer their Back to Where You've Never Been record.  I think that one has a different drummer and singer from the album pictured. 

Also, figured I'd go on a little Spock's Beard kick today.

[Big Hath]

[Crow]

on one hand they basically sound like tool fronted by mariusz duda
on the other hand it's pretty solid stuff and i may check it out further

[Crow]

I just... dunno. This just doesn't do it for me. It feels way underwritten. It's like the bridge between Bilateral and The Congregation, but not as fun as the former and not as jagged as the latter. The Valley is great but that's about the only song that sticks out and even it still goes on a bit longer than it should

[Tomislav95]

More like Tool fronted by Maynard James Keenan.

[Crow]

the singer sounds way more mariusz than maynard tbh

[Tomislav95]

Why do I know, I heard only the first album few years ago.

[Luoto]

Still have to listen to the whole thing but I really like the closing track on this one.

The last three tracks are a single composition actually.

[Train of Naught]

On Cognitive he definitely sounds more like Maynard than on Tellurian

He is now making his transition into Akerfeldt cleans, the new song sounds a lot like Tool + modern Opeth, though the instrumentation is more like Ghost Reveries Opeth. Check it out, its a great song (Sectarian).

[twosuitsluke]

Been a few years since I listened to this, it's still 

[jjrock88]

We Wish You a Metal X-Mas and a Head Banging New Year

Nice one Jason.

Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith, Turbo

Paul did you see that Priest is releasing a 3 cd 30th anniversary of Turbo in February?

[Lowdz]

Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith, Turbo

RATT - Dancing Undercover

Paul did you see that Priest is releasing a 3 cd 30th anniversary of Turbo in February?

I did. Packaged with the live album with a couple of extra tracks. They've missed a trick. They should have released Turbo and Ram It Down as the Twin Turbos package it was meant to be.

[TAC]

I didn't see that.

[jjrock88]

Yeah that's a good idea. They should have finally done the Twin Turbo release, like how it was intended to be. Great idea actually

[TAC]

I'm lost!
