Another release from Legacy Pilots, and another home run for this band. They continue their brand of Prog Rock / Neo-Prog music with this release, and I do believe that this one could be a bit poppier than their previous discs, but brilliant nonetheless. If you are into the Neo-Prog side of Prog Roc...

Seeing how Kansas is one my favorite bands of all time, I could not resist grabbing this one from the former front man and violinist of Kansas from The Lasers Edge. R.I.P. Robby, and I believe this was release after his untimely death...... The title of the disc is actually a play on words - the art...

TRANSATLANTIC / The Final Flight - Live at L'Olympia (3-CD / Bluray) I finally got my hands on this one after waiting for some time to get some points at Amazon. Damn these TRansatlantic discs are very expensive no matter which one you buy..... I've decided to get this one as a finale to my Transatl...

Old school day here..... In the car, we have Eniac Requiem's "Space Eternal Void" (very quirky Shrapnel Records project from the late 90s....), then at work we've had Stratovarius "Intermission" and Luca Turilli's "King of the Northern Twilight" ****Man that Eniac Requiem is a blast from the past ....

I do remember them well ..... and I enjoyed their disc for many years. Totally shocking that they would release a new one after all these years...... I tried a few months ago to re-listen to the disc, and I could not get through it all ...... it just doesn't hold up to the test of time ........ Very...

I finally find time last night to listen to Anima One, and that was even more boring that All My Shadows. Holy crap ... lol, sorry to all those who love those albums, but neither did anything for me.

***I had no doubt that this was going to happen ........

This album feels very much like Origins of Ruin for me, which is great because that's one of my favorite Redemption albums and was also tremendously affective for me. ***Same here -- Origins of Ruins is my favorite as well although the song Sapphire from Fullness remains dear to my heart ....... th...

As one who has a habit of sticking his foot in his mouth, I am loving the new Redemption ....... I initially thought that they were going to go in an even more thrashy direction, but like Sir Exar said, this one hits the sweet spot for me with the glorious melodies and chops galore ....... I do have...

TRANSATLANTIC / The Absolute Universe - (abridged version - 72 minutes) I've been into this band big time lately due to my journey through Neal Morse band land ....... This is the shorter version of the unabridged version which is a 2-CD set....although so far my favorite from them is The Whirlwind,...

Firstly, I love how you started out by writing that you belonged in Camp B, but then changed it to Camp A. Old age strikes again ;) ***Yeah, I can't follow the camps as well as I used to .......... :wink: Yeah I hear you and I understand where you're coming from - I just don't agree, which is fine ...

Absolute Universe was probably my least favorite of the Transatlantic albums, but I did enjoy the live DVD immensely. If you don't have it yet, GET IT. Honestly. Not only does the new material come across (a bit) stronger, but the older material feels absolutely EPIC here. To my ears, Absolute Univ...

TRANSATLANTIC / The Absolute Universe .......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W344FYp ... 1MMmjzR0vM I am getting into this band (finally) big time lately ...... I'm sure that my recent journey into Neal Morse land has led me to this band, although over the years my attempts to get into them reg...

Awesome....
Thanks for posting...

I checked out every single clip that Claus posted up above ....... and afterwards, I'm still in Camp A. I'm not going to sit here and type " same old shit " and call it a day..... I realize that it is quality material. How can it not be with music like that and Tommy once again singing his ass off (...

Originally I was going to automatically place myself in the Camp A group without having heard a note ........ I told myself that it wasn't that I didn't care for Tommy singing in the band as if Khan won't do it, who can do it the best ? Well, let's face it - Tommy can. That said - I'm just tired of ...

Gunter Werno - keyboard player for Vanden Plas, releases a CD / DVD combo package for his ( 3 ) Movement symphony concert. Complete with what looks like a 50-60 piece orchestra, all the members of Vanden Plas, he puts on a stunning show for Classical Music enthusiasts. If you had any doubts about go...

Got my Ice Age CD today and I am blown away at how good this is ........ it is so hard to believe that this is 20+ years later for these guys and this is what they come up with..... absolutely outstanding and first rate prog rock / metal ........ they just pick up right where they left off so if you...

The rest of the Mistborne disc is excellent !!!! Purchased !!!!!! Damn this really emotional / melodic stuff .........

A few corrections to what you wrote: UK (not Irish) band from London 2022 (not 2023) release Symphonic prog metal with some prog rock leanings but also some power metal ideas thrown in. Great theatrical vocals (reminds me of Poverty’s no Crime / Vanden Plas in the vocal aspect), lots of middle east...

Picked up the rest of the catalogue recently (so much for buying less music this year). I'm in the Larry camp on this one where I prefer the older material, but the D-Day albums aren't bad either.... Just different. I definitely prefer the original singer, as I think he has a distinct voice that fi...

Music is wonderful but the vocals grate my nerves … sounds like an English version of Tom Petty.

***Ugh - one of the worst singers ever and his band is on my " change the channel immediately " when his music comes on ........

XANDRIA - The Wonders Still Awaiting It's Nightwish worship all the way; very well-done for the genre, but if you're expecting anything more than that, you'll leave disappointed. Production is good, music well-written, and musicianship is great. I think the new singer is okay, but similar to Annett...

Draconian - Sovran

I'm not enough of a subject matter expert to say this is the BEST B&B band in the genre, but they sure as hell are my favorite.

****Fantastic band that never got the recognition they deserve ....... great disc there as well .......

I've been hooked on Neal Morse (again) lately ....... I pulled out Innocence and Danger recently, and I was blown away all over again. As a matter of fact, my wife asked if it was Dream Theater playing, and I realized that this disc rivals DT in many ways ...... the chops are just enormous. This 2-C...

Sometime Friday afternoon I threw on Red Circuit - Homeland. I'd forgotten how good this disc is, and how great Chitty sounds on it. So I'm listening to it again this morning cause it was already sitting there.

***Hell yeah on that one !!!!! I miss Chity .........

Killer song - pre-ordered. Hard to believe these guys haven't missed a beat after all these year....... incredible.

Knight Area - Nine Paths I have their first 2-3 albums, and tend to forget about them, but whenever I break them out I find them to be better than I remember.... I need to dig deeper into their catalogue, time and finances permitting. Any strong feelings past the first couple of albums? Recommendat...

****I'm not really sure what that limited edition means ...... I can only guess that only so many were pressed ........ but in reality, it's not that hard to get an IQ disc..... That said, I know you're a fan and this one is pretty amazing. Their live shows are always great as you know ..... the so...

Came into 2023 with the goal of buying fewer CDs.... Have two kids coming up on college, need new flooring throughout the house, and already out of space for physical media so REALLY want to slow my roll and just order the necessary items.... Saw this pop up last week and decided it's a good one to...

IQ40 / Forty Years of Prog Nonsense -- IQ celebrates their 40th year with another double live disc set ....... no bluray show from this one. Yet. I have not played it, waiting for the right moment to open it and indulge. If I'm not mistaken, this is a limited release, with only so many copies presse...

Kamelot … going through their discography since there’s a new album on the horizon. I’d still proudly state that I’m a total supporter of their debut album as one of the very best US power metal albums ever written. Also, “poetry for the Poisoned” is totally underrated in their catalogue, and the f...

Chris Rifkin passed away yesterday of pancreatic cancer. Many of you know him from the boards, Prog Power and other........ No one should be taken that way. He befriended me many, many years ago - when I raved about his first CD way back in the 90s, and he never forgot that. I will play that disc ca...

Self-titled After Forever this morning. Definitely not my favorite AF album, but it has its moments. While Floor still sounds amazing, nothing touches her power from the After Forever albums. ****I love that disc - but I played The Invisible Circle the other day and it blew me away all over again ....
