Yup - it’s a masterpiece within the genre!

I'm pretty sure Steve Rothery produced this,I know he played on one song..

To me Blueprint is essential in the neoprog scene.
Wounded is OK..some highlights

Breaking news I actually really like this Matheos going extremely heavy,way out of the box for him. And his voice for a change not only doesn't annoy me,but actually sounds great in this song,no over singing,and his tone sounds a bit mature in that he doesnt have that nasally/shrill sound that kills...

Redacted to prevent unessesary drama

I must have listened to the album close to 25 times now ... no kidding ... Why? Well ... I really was trying to prove a point here (that the band sucks), so I decided to give the disc a thorough listen on Spotify so that I could tell Larry and company how bad it was. However, after 3-4 listens I ke...

Barren Cross..
Vocalist is an dead ringer for Bruce Dickinson ..music is a power metal style with a great guitar tone

Based on the first song Voyager might have the CD of the year

Everything I love in music in one package

I got to listen to the whole record yesterday, and it was awful. Want to bang my head into the desk awful. None of it makes any sense as he bounces from idea to idea, none of the riffs or melodies are interesting, and there are myriad sections of ambient noise that add nothing. It will wind up bein...

Hmm

Anathema-the last 4
Kingcrow-the last 4
Voyager-I am the Revolution and Ghost Mile
Marillion-the last 2
Leprous-Malina
Persephone -Aathema
Devin Townsend-everything

redemption-take your pick

Fates Warning-Theories of Flight

Tesseract- 1st 3

Honestly I would have liked this much better had I not seen this video... Horrible first impression really took away from this song..which I actually liked,killer box (Actually this first time hearing this band) Seeing as my girlfriend is opening her mind to.more metal tbese days from her usual Mari...

I made a similar move from Long island to South Carolina (Myrtle Beach)in 2000(a few months before I met you at Powermad and my life was changed in regards to knowing great music not only existed but was thriving ) Be prepared for a bit of culture shock as it's a bit different from the pace of the n...

I just randomly discovered this on fb

Where in the eff was I when this came out?Right up my alley as it's right in that Crimson Glory style metal that was right up my alley back then

2nd track is out.....can you say Metallica? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFxH4kky6z4&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2VHqoXPT7dAUuba5bJ3qkXkqlzx1Eh-Eq_8Xve7omc45NbVbmexEjs_qg Yep John writes better Metallica licks than Metallica has in 30 years,right down to the guitar tone. This is EXACTLY what I w...

Great list.A lot in common A few quickies 1.Ghost For those people who have the "there is no fun in metal"attitude,(which we know there are way too many),screw them.Its pure cheesy satanic bubblegum pop rock with an edge and a funny gimmick (seeing pics of a satanic pope playing sax onstage make me ...

Really? It sounds painfully generic, and paint-by-numbers DT to me, and I'm the guy who put ADTOE #1 that year. I'm fine with paint-by-numbers DT. Do what you do and do it well. This song fits perfectly. Sonically, this is a mix of "Train of Thought" and ADTOE. And what I like about this one is tha...

This is really good.
Killer hook there,cool.solo break downs(Rudass has a cool solo tone here)

I guess I can officially pretend the Astonishing never happened.

Sisare has your name all over it.

After listening to that link i agree.
I hear a bit of The Cure in that song,maybe the guitar parts but it's a great sound .

Sounds quite good

Enchant

Is it wrong that I like those teasers more than anything from Astonishing?

O town !
Love how all of a.sudden all these tours are hitting central Fla after how many years of Fla being basicly called the passover state(all the good tours pass over Fla)

Hell even Marillion starting their latest tour in Orlando was incredible

Depressive Age Anyone remember them? For me this was one of the most “genre-pushing” bands of their time (early 90s). While only putting out 4 albums in a 5 year span this band managed to do a complete shift from technical thrash (think Coroner, Deathrow) outfit through a dark/gothic tinged prog me...

Really dont hear a Crimson vibe..vocalist kinda has some Midnight influences,sounds more like Urban Breed..

Great stuff though

What an incredible thread..
I kinda came on board at the tail end of the classic era of prog in 2000 and had a lot of catching up to do

One of the best disks ever released for prog in the 1998-2001 period

From Long Island
My good friends Inner Strength,anyone remember their disk?
I have the demos from the follow up and they were heading in a nice blend of more modern grove with the technical style..then egos destroyed the band

The SANVOISEN post from last week really got me thinking about all those amazing prog metal bands that were the basis for all our discussions here - those bands without whom most of us wouldn't care so deeply for the genre. Those bands that showed us a window to more than just Dream Theater/Queensr...

Digital Ruin - Listen I just went back and listened to that disc. That was a disc that I really loved back then. However, listening to it now didn't really go over that well - in fact it sounds "old". We've obviously come a long way in terms of production since then :) I also feel that there's too ...
