Something to keep you occupied... "first impressions". I've listened a lot more since, so some of the final results aren't going to match, but this is where I was at when I first listened.
- I love Deep Purple. I love this.
- Every song I hear from them I like a little more than the one before; when do I break down and buy one of their records?
- This is what Queensryche SHOULD be doing.
- I don’t know much about this band, but they do know how to craft a song.
- There’s something to be said about sticking to what you know and do best.
- I’ve never actually HEARD the rumors that Kevin DuBrow is alive and well in Montana, but apparently they’re true!
-
-
- This is just f*****g excellent. But when did Joe Satriani join Toto?
- I don’t know what to make of this; in five listens this is either going to be AWESOME, or, well, not.
- I feel like I’ve heard this before… a lot. Even in this roulette.
- This is what it feel s like to expect McDonald’s and get Red Robin (for those of you that don’t get the reference, this is what it’s like to expect Budweiser and get Guiness. Well, maybe Boddington’s. Let’s not get crazy.)
- How refreshing; prog metal that doesn’t sound like Queensryche! And it’s still good!
- The kind of song you hear once and sing in your head for the rest of the day. My kind of song.
- MTV is AWESOME! They play music 24-7; it’s like the radio but with pictures!
- Hmm. I can’t decide if I want Chinese or Italian. Maybe I’ll have a grinder from Subway. No, wait, Chik-fil-A. No, wait, Capital Grill…
- Never judge a book by it’s cover, especially when the cover shows a pretentious, ironic douchebag!
- Incredibly moving; I can’t even make jokes about this.
- “Dude, after hockey practice, we’re going to get a twelve pack and go down to the lake!”
- Metal when metal was still f******g metal.
- If songwriting is an art, then this is somewhere between stick figures and finger painting.
- I remember them being so much better.
- I want to like this, but it just all sounds the same.
- I don’t know if that line is meant to be sincere or ironic, but either way, it’s hard to imagine she has any idea what she’s talking about.
- This started slow, but certainly kicked into high gear.
- This is what it sounds like when someone takes something to the next level.
- This has a lot of energy, but it sounds like frustrated energy…
- This sounds like it could be so much more.
- Short, sharp, SHOCK. Metal up your ass.
- Never heard much about them before, but it’s almost exactly what I expected. Now I need to go pray.
- Good solid hard rock. The meat and potatoes of hard rock.
- I guess “instrumental integrity” isn't enough after all; just because Jeff Beck did it doesn't mean you should too!
