Geemo, was The Astonishing the first DT album you heard?
Yes! I had heard PMU around 1990-91. My cousin said “ you have to hear this” and I remember thinking, “Wow so big and so full, and that singer!”. I kind of forgot about it. I was in the midst of moving and a career change.
So, fast forward to 2016, my kids are older and I wanted to get on board with streaming music on my phone for running and then also in my office. I got on spotify. I liked metal, but was picky. Then I thought, what about that band DT, I wonder if they have any other music?
So, I bounced around and listened to this and that. Maybe the Greatest Hit got me started. Home, Rooted, Nightmare, SS, OtBoA. But as I got more and more interested I noticed the latest album had just come out and I was like, are they touring??
My son and I had a road trip planned for spring break. He was in his infancy of his musical ride. We bought 3 CD’s for the road, TA, and the new ones from Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.
After the TA show, I went home and just immersed in that album, but also went online and learned..they had another similar album...Scenes. That was my 2nd, and I think I only listened to that for the next 3 months!
