My review of Dreadful Thoughts - "Demise Of The Blind" Cet album n'est peut-être pas extraordinaire mais il est certainement bon. Même que moi je le trouve plus que bon.

Re: Top Favorite Melodic Metal/Hard Rock Albums ... rank them
Anvil always struck me as boring. My favorite Anvil song is "Forged In Fire" from the album of that name released in 1983. Great production (You know when they had the money...) I play this song often and the sound is amazing. My favorite album as a whole is the one in my list ("Strength Of Steel" ...

Re: Top Favorite Melodic Metal/Hard Rock Albums ... rank them
I never got into Triumph - where should I start? Of course I would say the album "Thunder Seven" (1984). To me this is Triumph at the top. I call that "intelligent" hard rock. This is close to neo-prog. The 2 albums following ("The Sport Of Kings" (1986) and "Surveillance" (1987)) are very good but...

There is also a light side. This is a mix of both. For example in the song "The Cause": https://www...

In all the discussions we had about neo-prog, the band Comedy Of Errors has never been mentioned.
My favorite album from them is "Fanfare & Fantasy" (2013)
