Does Chris Poland guest on the No Place re-record? I didn't know that.
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

It's unmistakably him on those two tracks.  I'm just going by ear but I'd have to look it up to confirm.  Tone, style, phrasing, gotta be him.

I don't have it, and honestly, I've never heard it. The original No Place is an iconic album for me and it's perfect the way it is.


You must have an amazing ear. I wouldn't know a Chis Poland style if he plugged in his amp in my living room.

Halfway through the self titled and this is a good one too.  A bit more variety and an old school feel to Chaos, which is nice and it's some stomping metal.

The s/t has a lot more of an old school feel. A song like Life Is A Mess has a classic feel. Plus Jason Bittner's drumming is quite reminiscent of Kelly Smith's.

That one so far was indeed a highlight.  Love the groovy Verge of Tragedy too.  The rest will be played on the way home.

Here's a Kade approved song!

I'll confirm later.

The song title is approved at least!






I'm going to try and scan some concert pics in tomorrow.

NE Terror from New Haven 7/17/90. I literally saw them the night before on the 16th in Providence in a club that was easily half the size of this.

Ha!  Didn't expect that but love this sort of shit.  Way more 90's influenced than the last couple I've been listening to.

I thought you'd like the title. ;D

It's an interesting song musically, but it's a bit different than the rest of the album it's on. That album is METAL!

It's from 1999's Unnatural Selection. It's the first album after they switched two original members, with Mark Simpson replacing guitarist Michael Gilbert, and Craig Neilsen replacing drummer Kelly Smith.

Yeah, that's Troy Gregory, who played on No Place and When The Storm Comes Down. He was great live, but those two albums stand out on top for me. I loved his influence.

This new record smokes!  I never really dug the last one for some reason, but the new one has a lot of aggression in the riffs, which I love!

Can't wait to check it out.  Hoping there's a chance I'll be able to grab a copy instore, but I think that's a pipe dream.

I'm waiting for my Father's Day Amazon card, so it'll be a couple of weeks before I have my own copy.

This is a great album though.

Yeah, streaming this one now, it's a cracker.  Similar to the last one but just excellent.  The Walls is fucking beyond amazing.

It's out of the same mould as Recover from the last album.  Fucking love that one too.

Had a couple of more listens to Blood In The Water over the past couple of days. This album is amazing. One song I've been really digging, buried in the back half of the album, is Reagression. That tune rips.

And holy shit, Ken Mary! :hefdaddy

So I have a confession to make and i'm not joking here, i've heard the name Flotsam and Jetsam before but for some reason always assumed (i'm being real) it was a country/folk band or something like that. I recently saw Ken Mary playing a cover and new nothing about him and did some googling and found out he played in this band. "Oh cool, versatile drummer" I thought, had a search.... thrash metal   :omg: :lol

Maybe i've mixed them with some other group?

I never thought they were country but I only started checking them out about a month ago.  I didn't think they were thrash, but I don't know what I thought they were.

Troy Gregory was sick and it's too bad things didn't work out with him.

Unnatural Selection and High are their two worst albums. Everything else is gold! I just got the new CD and will pop it's cherry today!  :metal

Good idea! I remember in high school my girlfriend would say I was the desecrator when that song would play. I used to let her drive my truck if she'd do it topless and she had big ones. So picture a chevy truck with bouncing boobs blasting Flotsam coming at ya!  :metal

I purchased a cheap mp3 copy of this for the car.  Pumping it on the way to work this morning and holy shit, this album is fucking incredible.  I thought it was solid when I first streamed it but this fucking rips!  Gotta get a copy on CD.  You can't help but to feel more manly listening to this shit.  Some barnstorming riffing going on here.  fucking powerful!
