is the inter arma any good. i didn't like the last album (despite the gorgeous cover & an image from the booklet was one of my avatars) & didn't like what i checked out from the new one either

I've only listened to it once. It's a lot to take in. I would say it's at least as good as their last one, with potential for it to grow on me. Ask me again in a few weeks

"as good as their last one" meaning it sucks

doom/sludge metal ain't my thing anyways so

Elis - Dark Clouds in a Perfect Sky

The lead singer of this band sounds like she would work great in Ayreon.

^better than it should be

TAC · « **Reply #2600 on:** May 21, 2019, 08:16:17 PM »

You mean it shouldn't be good?

I'm liking it. It's pretty cool. This may get a purchase.

Crow · « **Reply #2601 on:** May 21, 2019, 08:21:07 PM »

it's power metal, so it shouldn't be good, yeah

TAC · « **Reply #2602 on:** May 21, 2019, 08:23:31 PM »

It has some power metal elements to it, but it's a lot more thoughtful than simple power metal. There's some progressive elements to it too, and even the occasional loopy keyboards. Lots of long songs. Definitely not power metal vocals.

It's different. I like it.

Oddly enough, I almost sent a song off that album for the bonus round of your roulette. It came up in my "new albums I might like" section on Google Play so I gave it a listen and immediately thought of you. I thought it was pretty good.

(the physics house band - mercury fountain)

any of y'all need some psychedelic prog rock right now? here's 30 minutes of it
they got namedropped in a comparison to poly-math and, yeah, that's not inaccurate

Top 10 all time vocal for me on that one, and closer to #5 than #10.

it's pretty good but i'm probably gonna pass on getting it, that overly symphonic style doesn't hold a ton of appeal to me unfortunately

rn listening to the new Laster as it just arrived in the mail

i have a stack of like, a dozen records that just arrived that i need to get through tho

TAC · « **Reply #2609 on:** May 22, 2019, 08:02:10 PM »

For the record, I hate symphonic metal. Nothing is more corny than that. But this doesn't hit me over the head. It's not symphonic driven. I don't mind some subtle accompaniment.

Crow · « **Reply #2610 on:** May 22, 2019, 08:23:07 PM »

i felt it was a bit more symphonic than i prefer
that sacrificed alliance album i sent you a song off of you didn't listen to is a real good balance of symphonic & metal elements, i find, i still go back to that one half a year later haha

Just in the past week discovered this band. I have not purchased yet, but have listened to these listed along with Core. For those that have listened to both for real and not on youtube, which version do you prefer?

This is really cool. 2019 album.

Like a hard rock/metal version of The Smiths.

Been meaning to check this out - some ex members of a band I introduced in the podcast a year or two back that I quite like (Spellcaster)

I was grooving to Stevie Ray Vaughn - The Sky is Crying yesterday, so I feel ya, Mang.

Blues of Desperation is one of my favorite albums of the past decade. Mountain Climbing is just too, too good!

2019 Redux version. Specifically, the remix. Both versions were remastered and are quieter than the original. The remix is amazing.

I've never listened to Umphrey's McGee, what is a good place to start?
