George Harrison - Living In The Material World

"Met them all here in the material world
John and Paul here in the material world
Though we started out quite poor, we got Richie on a tour
Got caught up in the material world"

[nick_z]

Some classic metal today



The SkyEye album I believe I first saw here, recommended by Kade...really good stuff. Strong Maiden influence, including the vocals (far from a mere Dickinson clone, though!). Nice balance of more straightforward (Detonate is a banger!) and more adventurous songs. I think they have a new one coming out soon - I'll be keeping an, um, eye out for sure!

The Reverend Hound was just released, and I came across it kinda randomly. I ended up listening to the whole thing, as it's very enjoyable. Think NWOBHM filtered through German metal. That is - lots of Maiden, but Accept too. The songs are relatively straightforward, but the stuff works. A Cry for Light is a real nice closer. Inevitably, this is the kind of album that gets lost in the sea of new releases, but it's a fun ride.

The Reverend Hound...Lots of Maiden and Accept too....that sounds awesome. I'll have to check it out. I don't remember seeing SkyEye before.

[Glasser]

[Bluefish]

[TAC]

Still my favorite.

[nick_z]

Dool - The Shape of Fluidity

Me too, today! I'm really liking it.

[NoseofNicko]

Wheel - Charismatic Leaders

Damn this is dense (complex?)! I like it though.

[ReaperKK]

Still my favorite.

Out of curiosity, why?

Out of curiosity, why?

The first song I ever heard by them was Hit The Lights when KEA came out. It blew my mind. I was still pretty young..14 I think. It's such a groundbreaking album. No other album by them has tapped into my music soul like this did.

I mean, I love tons of Metallica, and there's plenty of individual songs that I'd take ahead of KEA, but as a whole, nothing beats it for me.

Just finished this. Very nice!

I loved the solos in Glory towards the end. reminded me of the ones from Emerald by Thin Lizzy.

To the bolded, probably, but it's earned a second listen.




I also spun the new Warlord at work, and I need to do it at home with headphones, but overall, I liked it. I love songs with generous musical sections.

Thanks for the insight, it's always tough to gauge how impactful albums are when you listen to them years later.

It's funny, but I knew it then, and I'm a little wide eared 14 y/o every time I listen to it. It never disappoints.

[wolfking]

Underrated TMac cut.

Exploring Birdsong

Checking this out thanks to the thread from earlier. Really loving this.

Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT

[nick_z]

I've been going back to this recent release quite often:



Definitely scratches that Nightwish itch. Symphonic metal, but a tad less "over the top". I like that there is a nice, how to call it, "emotional heft" to the music and the vocal melodies.

[PixelDream]

Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine

Something very soothing about that early-mid period PT.
