At the risk of saying something insensitive, but maybe you don't have the "right" sound system then? Or need more than one? If there's strong quality material out there you aren't enjoying because of the way it sounds on your setup, maybe have a secondary or different setup..... (This feels overly ...

Got a chance to listen to this solo in the car (Bose 10 speaker system, so definitely able to give it a fair critique sonically), and Larry..... I don't hear what you hear.... AT ALL. The disc sounds great to me. No issues at all with the mix. What I DO hear, and you highlight clearly, is how track...

The only reason I don't is that I think finding buyers would be too much work compared to the money I could get for them.

^^^ THIS +1

Evership / The Uncrowned King - Act 2. Very disappointing indeed. I got this with the new Arena and I thought I would be 2 for 2... nope. I skipped this one as I wasn't overwhelmed with the first one. NP - Symphorce "Unrestricted" (Andy B Franck, very "ehh" songwriting) ****The first one actually g...

Great post --- love posts like this, they are far and few though these days. Seventh Wonder “The Testament” – It’s very prototypical SW, complete with big lush melodies and sufficient noodling to keep listeners occupied. I can’t find anything not to like on here, but come away feeling that this was ...

I agree with everything you said .... I'm curious to hear what some of the others think of it once they hear it ........

I agree. Damian's voice is so distinctive that when I hear it my brain goes "this is a Damian album" not "this is an Arena album". I feel the same way about Fabio in Angra. In both cases I like the singers and bands but I would rather they not be together even though they produce quality albums... ...

1) I’m surprised you are a late comer to the band. I thought you jumped on board like I did with the debut in 1995. Perhaps that’s why you’re so married to the sound of “immortal” and “visitor”. ***Consider me old. I can only remember back as far as 1998 .....I was on board with you on the debut, j...

For whatever reason, I didn't care for that song ......... I love the previous disc, and the band itself ........ but this song just didn't do it for me.

Thanks to The Lasers Edge I finally got my hands on a copy of the new Arena disc. It is no secret that the band has set the price of the disc at $24, something that Im' sure doesn't sit well with lots of people, including me. From what I'm reading and hearing, the band ( or Clive Nolan ) has decided...

If you had asked me this 10 years ago - the list would have been much longer. Now, it has greatly diminished. Without looking at the collection and going thru my aging memory, it would be these ( in our genre ) - Dream Theater Vanden Plas Threshold Arena IQ Pendragon Mystery (VP & Threshold are subj...

ARENA - The Theory of Molecular Inheritance It took way too long for this to finally appear on iTunes (I think it was released on CD 2 or 3 weeks ago), but finally it's here and I've now listened to it from start to finish 6-7 times, and I'm stunned about how good this is. My expectations were high...

I'm taking the lazy man's route (again) and just listing some of my favs here ....... no order except for alphabetical. I've gotten rid of at least half of my Neo collection and kept only the ones that I go back to frequently or that they blew me away way back when and I don't have the heart to get ...

Yea I know the feeling. Heck, I'm listening to the Carpenters and Bread right now, still two of my favorite bands of the 70s :) and then I'll probably break out my Kitaro collection, great relaxation music....... ***Funny you write this ..... I just finished up listening to Sting's greatest hits .....

I've been listening to very little metal lately .......... some of the newer stuff like Vanden Plas, Virtual Symmetry, Edenbridge, the Conception re-masters, etc still get plays...... but since its Halloween, the whole month it has been mostly movie soundtracks, John Carpenter, scary movie compilat...

I noticed that folks like Guy, Stevie W, Troy, Todd and Dweeb seemed to have moved on from this board.... I hope they are well with their health or maybe their musical tastes changed?.............It's such a different board compared to what is use to be years ago .... So sad :( Dusty ***Dusty - tha...

Pretty sure you have said the same thing after the last 2-3 releases! :) ****This is it !!!! I'm telling you .... I'm much older and wiser this time around ........ well........ :wink: There are certain bands that I know exactly what I am getting any time a new album comes out. Vanden Plas, Thresho...

I'm gradually trying to clean out the collection, and working through all my old discs to thin the herd a wee bit..... Actually JUST started listening to all the old Edenbridges last week, and Shangi-La just arrived today from Ken. Through the first three albums, and everything continues to track j...

I just counted 6 Edenbridge (and 3 Lanvall) albums in my collection ... I think that's about 4 too many, as I honestly never go back and listen to them. Not saying Sabine isn't a great vocalist, or that Arne (Lanvall) isn't a really good composer and guitarist, but it just becomes the same way too ...

I figure there are about 3 people total here that would even consider buying this disc - so I'll keep it short. If you are remotely interested in this band, then you know ahead of time what you are getting ..... nothing has changed here. Artwork - beautiful. Songs - some beautiful. Sabine - beautifu...

Loving this album..... Getting the obvious out of the way, the combination of the Wastefall vocalist and Kristofer Gildenlow does lend an immediate early era Pain of Salvation sound to some of this, but it's definitely not a POS clone.... It's not as quirky as PoS, trending more in the heavy end of...

Been spending some time with this one ...... I would say that this is their most technical release to date as there is a lot going on here. Those who like their prog metal played a little more on the complex will do well with this one. It seems as though they have upped their "chops" game and it's o...

Thanks to Claus for sending this to me ....... Arena releases their first video for the new upcoming album "The Theory of Molecular Inheritance" ........ it should put any fears away of having Damian Wilson singing for them (myself included and I'm a huge Damian fan) ......if the rest of the album i...

Claus --

Check out "Crimson Skies" when you can ......... MIke Andersson has such a powerful / melodic voice ....... to me, CS is their most "proggy" ...... but also their most powerful as well .......

The audio was horrible on that show ..... video was very good for a one person shot, but man the sound was so muffled I had to really dig in to hear what song they were playing ..... I have no problem watching shows like this as long as the audio / video quality are good ..... but geez man, just rel...

I'm at a loss on that one..... There's nothing on here that makes me think 80s at all. I hear an amalgamation of bits of different old school prog/power/metal bands, but all circa early 2000s. Flashes of different pieces, but Evergrey is probably dominant musically. MidKnight said the vocals gave h...

I found it a little "too" 80-ish melodic metal ...... or am I missing something ? Vocals were very good ........music is very good as well just a little "dated" from what I'm hearing ? I should love this ...... but my aging ears don't ........

Mine is on the way..............

Excellent !!!!!!!

I don't recall anyone talking about this one ......or maybe I missed it. Just ordered this in time for Halloween ...... a supergroup of sorts starring the great Teddy Moller on drums. Sounds fantastic and seems to right up my alley for cinematic prog..... https://www.lasercd.com/cd/serpents-fields-s...

***Scott - start with either PURE or Love Over Fear ....... they should give you a pretty good idea of what they are all about. In your case, I would start with PURE first. Funny how we just went in two completely opposite directions on this one..... :) ***Yeah I saw that ..... I went that route as...

I've never gone down the Pendragon path. I vaguely know of them and have probably heard a song or two. I might be mixing them up with Galahad. British neo prog is not my strong suit. Knowing my tastes for more than 20 years, Larry, or anyone, where would I best start with them? I could just randoml...

I tried to give "unprocessed" a chance, but I just can't stomach the vocals, just too radio and modern sounding for my ears.........Also, seems more rock than metal, but maybe there are other songs that are more metal.... ***I felt the same way. Now I'm hoping we are talking the right thing, we are...
