I don't post often lately cause I have a new job keeping me real busy but this one needs to be talked about. I'll be blunt: This is probably their best since Clone. Morgan brings back some aggressiveness in the singing and the happy sing-along songs are kept to a minimum which is good from my point ...

The Portnoy extravaganza was partially ruined by the Haken singer. Should have let the guitarist sing, he was way better and much more soulful. But I've never liked the Haken singer's nasal style. Overall it was pretty good, but yah... it felt like a cover band, as there was little charisma from th...

Wow! Santa Claus himself is now singing with Avantasia!!! I know, right? Just when you think he can't look any more eccentric, he outdoes himself. Still better than the Bert look. You sure about that? At least, he looked younger and more fit. What a slob he's become. Get in shape and hire someone f...

Hey my favourite Alien, you should come around here more often, we have a way of digging some gems.

When Pig Destroyer comes before Images and Words, you know there's something wrong.

They got most of the classics right but there are way too many hipster discs. I gotta mention I'm happy they put in my fave Manowar disc with Hail to England.

Still, fun read...

Stevie WOnder

It's a double whammy for me ...... not only do I not like the song and think that it was way out of place on an other wise perfect disc, my bigger gripe was that it was a cover song in the first place ....... To my ears - when I hear this song, I cringe. It just took away from a disc that would hav...

Empire was indeed their financial pinnacle - and I imagine that people who started here, found it almost difficult to go back to RFO and worship it the way we do......that's my theory anyway ......... I didn't get into QR until Empire, just based on when I was getting into metal at all. I remember ...

I was very underwhelmed after one complete listen. It sounds very disjointed to me, doesn't flow at all well, too much Lee lead vocals, too much repetitiveness (lyrics and same melody) on some songs. Then the actual recording sounds like a different studio/producer on a few songs. Very disappointin...

This has got your name written all over it.

I enjoyed this disc, although it really doesn't sound all that different from Airbag to me. This kind of moody and laid-back prog-rock appeals to me nowadays as long as I am in the mood for it. If you aren't then this won't be for you. ***I think his previous disc was much better than this one .......

Stevie WOnder

It can be dense at times so those of you who can't bear that side of prog, stear clear. But those of you who like their prog to be challenging, this is definitely for you. With this said, I find Tetrafusion's music very unintimidating and pleasant to listen to despite its density and difficult musi...

Stevie WOnder

Late to the party but damn... This is really good! Very proggy stuff while infusing lots of influences and catchy melodies. I hear some jazz, bluesy solos, djent, Floydian moments with a modern edge.... I mean, lots is happening. It can be dense at times so those of you who can't bear that side of p...

Stevie WOnder

I have the first one. I remember really liking it. It was a bit uneven but they certainly had some nice melodies. It's been a while, I should dig it out.

I'll keep an eye out for this one.

Stevie WOnder

I wouldn't expect much in new material from Styx these days. Though their live shows are quite good. Anyway, I just ran across this info, and know there are a few old school Styx fans here. so... "Styx fans got a somewhat unexpected surprise when the band announced the upcoming release of a ne...

I don't really get why everyone is so hot for Ronnie's voice, but he's ok, and the song is pretty darn good. They come out the same day, so I'm going to wager on this winding up being better than Jorn's new album. Dude, you crack me up. You seriously put an effort in hating everything... That being...

Stevie WOnder

And they're coming to my hometown in Quebec City!! Really excited about this one!

I still hold Nothingface as their best by a huge margin. Prog, innovative and heavy. It's got everything. KT was getting there but they got it perfectly on NF.

Stevie WOnder

Wow! That bluray might interest me if it's well filmed.

Although I've been in and out for the last decade, I joined the original board in 1998 I believe, a random link from the Heady Metal site I clicked on. I hate that I still to his day have not met any of you in person, which is a source of regret. I hope to have provided a miniscule contribution ove...

Been around the PM Boards since 1997 so it's 20 years now. How time flies by... I'll add my voice to Sparky's and give you a big shout out bro for all the work you put in here.

Psychedelicatessen > average, Morgan is excellent but songwriting is so-so. :shock: :shock: :shock: I know. I *LOVE* Under the Sun and Innocent but somehow can't get into whole album.

So, going through Amazon I picked up EIGHT cds today. I currently own zero Threshold. Nice work!!!! And congrats on the house..... Can't wait to hear your thoughts on these. Did you skip Wounded Land and Extinct Instinct on purpose? Those are actually two of my favorites..... I'll vouch for Extinct...

You got that right Larry brother!! I'm beyond thrilled! I absolutely loved Psychedelicatessen. I still hold it as their best by far with Morgan fitting perfectly according to me. Dark, emotional, melodic. crunchy.... I was just reading the PPUSA FB page and it's a no go over there. I figure the musi...

Seems like the speed is mostly gone if I can trust those two tracks. I'll admit Tiranti sounds a bit whiny but it doesn't take away from those excellent songs. Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Jean-Claude Van Damme? :lol: Yeah he does sound really nasally////Music seems abit dated as well...

Stevie WOnder

I'm definitely getting this one too!!
