Re: Random shelf pulls March 20 edition

I pretty much freak out on all the Lance King stuff, but for some reason I never got into the Avian releases? Had the Scudiero back in the day. Never really got into it much even though their style is what I typically love. Funny I checked and still have 2 Order of Nine cds in my collection. Haven't...

Re: Triton Project - Messenger Quest...

Odd Logic is a bit hit or miss for me but when they're on their game they put out some great stuff.
I would agree until the last release - Last Watch of the Nightingale which I found to be totally awesome. Triton Project is all killer no filler imo as well.

Triton Project - Messenger Quest...

My friend told me about this new release. It contains the singer from Odd Logic and sounds kinda like that in style. Check it out...

New project from Jim M and Ray A. Great tune, but I hope there's some distortion on the album? I'm sure it would be cool anyway...

It has been hard for all of us not to hear Ray Alder singing on a Redemption disc, but Tom Englund is a great singer in his own right. ...

2. The Anchoret - It All Began With Loneliness
The mood of this debut album from the Canadian band reminds me of mid-era Opeth but with its own distinct mark and sound. The Anchoret arrived there from a prog rock (not death metal) starting point.
Checking this one out. Liking what I'm hearing.

Although I absolutely love Secret Garden for its emotionally wrenching narrative and dark atmosphere, it doesn't feel very similar to past albums. If you do end up enjoying this, maybe give that disc one more shot. I love Secret Garden although it's different for Angra. I feel like 3/4 if it could ...

Love this CD. Hate the packaging! It's one of those slipcase cardboard deals. At least put the cd in the middle of the flaps so it doesn't scratch everytime it comes out.

Re: What are you listening to right now?

I found out about a very overlooked Eternal Odyssey "Awakening" album from 2019. Listening to it now, a pretty interesting power/progressive metal in the style of Lethal, Queensryche, Power of Omens, Divine Regale.
Checking this out. Love this style of stuff.

Re: Parius - The Signal Heard Throughout Space

This one was actually mentioned a few times and boy was I glad I checked it out! What a fantastic CD! I didn't make a best of 2022 list last year because I couldn't even come up a top 5. However, Parius was one of 2 releases (and Atomic Symphony) I thought could've been my top spot had I made a list.

Listening to Scratch - Beyond the Fear 1986 demo. Never heard this back in the day. It has Carl Albert (Vicious Rumors) on vocals who sounds awesome. Classic old school stuff.

Re: Kamelot - The Awakening

I'd guess I'm in camp B. The 1st 2 releases with Tommy floored me. However, the shadow theory reminded of Seventh Wonder's the Testament. I enjoy the album immensely, but it didn't blow my mind like the 2 before it. Hopefully, the new one meets my high expectations.

A Tribute to ABBA
This is one of the handful of tributes I really enjoy. Thought Rush & Fates Warning were quite good as well. Similar story here. My sister in law drove me nuts playing ABBA greatest hits in college every weekend so I purchased the ABBA tribute to blast at family events. :D
