Re: Kamelot - The Awakening
OK, in all the posts above we're missing a link to the single best song on the album!!!! Through 85% of the disc I was thinking.... Sure, yes, it's Kamelot. No surprises, but still loving it. EXACTLY what I expected. Then THIS track came along.... How I wish there was more like this on here! Still ...

Hey Claus, I know you are probably not into deathcore, but check out this guy's snare work. It's only the musical track, so there are no vocals The whole song is great, but even as an ex-drummer myself I have to say this guy's snare work is insane in a couple of spots in the song.

Re: Kamelot - The Awakening
I think tastes evolve either one direction or the other as we get older. Some people's tastes grown more softer and more into rock music as they get older and others musical tastes change genres completely. My taste has been gravitating more towards power/melodic and symphonic metal as I'm getting ...

Re: Queensryche in my top five?
I noticed on Amazon that the new Queensryche has a 5 star average rating across 185 reviews. That's pretty damn good being that it's easy to be critical about them due to what's happened in the past.

I agree, great album! I just wish more people would give them a chance instead of the lame close-minded excuse of " I can't listen to it because it's just not Queensryche without Tate or Degarmo". If that's your attitude, then just listen to it as if they are a brand new band, and if one does that, ...

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.

I think within the next year or two I'll probably be unloading many my CDs on ebay that I no longer listen to.

If Yngwie is a joke now then he was a joke back in the day. The only thing that has changed are the people who are listening. Yngwie is Yngwie. Did he put out better albums 30 years ago? Probably. Is he any less Yngwie now than he was 30 years ago? Absolutely not. Disagree. Yngwie has always had th...
