I agree 100%. I so much want to get the two Dream Theater live disks they released last month, but I just can't get over the fact that his voice is going be really rough sounding.... ****I was able to stream the Images and Words show, and sadly our fears are coming true ....... not only does the sh...

WITHIN TEMPTATION - Shed My Skin https://youtu.be/oG-VDwEA6hI ***I didn't click on it yet - but I'm not surprised by what you're telling me ..... with each release they get further and further away from me .....it's not that I think the music is bad, it is not. It's just not what I want to hear fro...

WITHIN TEMPTATION - Shed My Skin Okay, it's not a full album, but a 6 song EP, consisting of one new (title song) tune, the two previously released singles and instrumental versions of all three. Modern Within Temptation is not the same as where they started out 20 years ago, nor do they sound like...

I ordered: QUEENSRYCHE / Operation: Mindcrime - vinyl newly remastered at Abbey Rd Studio. (Thanks to you). The recent 180g vinyl was a big disappointment and sounded lame compared to the re-mastered CD. I'm hoping that this one steps it up to where it finally should be. From what I read, this will ...

As suspected, the CD version is better than the vinyl version, but this time not by much ........there is a ton of bass stored on the CD, and I actually had to turn my subwoofer down a bit ......but the music is clear and crisp as are the vocals. The vinyl is much sharper, much more crystalline in s...

Lo and behold I did a comparison between the vinyl and the accompanying CD that comes with it ....... the differences are staggering. The vinyl is mastered hot, with tons of treble, crisp clean vocals, and no bass to speak of ..... The CD now has a very good amount of bass, has a fuller sound, but t...

What I failed to add to these PoS posts is that both version of the vinyl so give you the CD version of the re-mixes as well. You will have to buy the vinyl to get these CD versions if I'm not mistaken.

I just got around to playing this new vinyl from PoS ....... If you are a BE fan, you already know that it is very hard to hear the lyrics due to the way less than average production......this is a lyrical disc that begs for the lyrics to be heard and I have strained many a time trying to hear the d...

“12:5” is still, and will always be, the album I dislike the most in their discography (even more so that “in the passing light of day”). The way they (mid)treated all those great songs in the live setting here was just horrible to me. Every time I go back and listen to it, it upsets me. ****Old ma...

I ordered both the 12:5 and the BE vinyl editions from The Lasers Edge ..... I just got them in yesterday and only played the 12:5 so far. I'm going to wait a night or two before testing out BE as I want that to be a special event, but the 12:5 vinyl does indeed sound excellent !!!!!! Much better th...

Those two songs sound great !!!!!! Will definitely be on this one .........going to check the previous disc as well. Thanks for the heads up........

Streaming "Return Home" as I write this ......

It doesn't have to be "the same" to be good. I went (skeptically) to the show here last year, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tate sounded great, and the band did a mostly solid job musically. If he comes near you, I'd recommend it, honestly, and I never thought I'd say that! ***Yes I get it ... and do ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvinLNhyihQ ****That is very cool !!!!! I love when people do things like that. Speaking of which, I've been on a QR kick lately and just discovered some live videos of Geoff Tate doing the Rage for Order / Empire discs in their entirety. It's just not the same ........

Whatever happened to Digital Ruin? They had one of the more distinctive sounds of the era. ***Matt, the singer, left Digital Ruin to pursue a different path in music. He went to California and for a time, was a tech for Tommy Lee's band. Matt had a project, but if I remember right, it was sort of a...

I was never a WASP fan ....... I didn't care for the band concept and Blackie's vocals felt like I was a getting a massage with sandpaper.

It's back to that old concept that once a band writes that disc that captures our hearts ( in this case it's Evership's debut ), then we compare everything after to it. I realize that it's not fair to the bands to do this, but we as listeners really have no choice. We want everything to follow to be...

I'm not a fan of the direction Sirenia went with "Riddles, Ruins, & Revelations."

*****Glenn -- I'm about 4-5 discs back ........ what has changed with this band besides the singers ?

Just finished my first listen of this and it's pretty great. Well executed melodic powerprog of the kind that's been kicking around for 25ish years, but with more modern sound palettes.

*****Totally. And excellent.

This disc was one of my most anticipated once I saw that The Lasers Edge had it forthcoming ..........jumped on it immediately as I love this band. The problem is, I've been disappointed by their last two discs, and after so many years in between, I figured that this had to be the comeback for them ...

I can now add SYLVAN / One to Zero as my biggest disappointment of the year ...........such a total let down for me.

Ssssshhhhssss … don’t tell Larry …. Larry doesn't reply or even acknowledge my posts, I think he might he might even have me on ignore. No idea why either :D ****I read every one of your posts ....... I didn't jump in on this one because I'm not a big of an Amorphis fan outside of the main discs we...

You know when you hear a band - many times over - and you know they have the potential to be the next best thing in their genre ? Well, Evership is that band ..... they have the potential to be the next Mystery *if* they could master their songwriting and get a label behind them ......as it is, thei...

I already posted in the New Stuff Friday thread, but decided also to start its own thread... Neo-Prog band Nine Skies from France Copy paste from the EPK: The new album is called “5.20” and will be released the 4th June 2021. Achraf El Asraoui joins the band to record this new album. It is an acous...

Few couple of months into this and it's definitely the best I've heard this year. Need is second at this point. *****I'm the opposite - Need beats this one for me, but not by much...... there is something so emotional about that Need disc that captures me. Turbulence is fantastic prog metal ..........

I don't think I've ever seen anyone come this close to doing Kamelot ...... that was superb.

I actually ordered up the new Evership and the Benthos discs yesterday, and ALMOST threw this in the cart to round it out..... Maybe next time.

*****For me it was Evership and Sylvan ........

I did give the video a play, and it just didn't grab me. I can hear aspects of the bands mentioned, but at the time I tried it I just wasn't blown away (PERSONALLY). Keep in mind, of course, that a lot of the more modern prog isn't really my thing anyway (aside from Haken and Leprous, although Lepr...

Never heard of them before, but this description from their website had me laughing out loud: 6:33, the deformed mutant child of Tim Burton raping Devin Townsend and Mr Bungle in a deserted asylum ... That's just effing funny! I definitely hear a lot of Mike Patton styling in the vocals, so I guess...

Men Who Climb Mountains was an incredible disc, however it was extremely dark and not something I can listen to often. Love Over Fear is the antithesis. Bright, positive, and authentically so. Combining the old sound with the new perfectly. "360 Degrees," "Soul and the Sea," and "Eternal Light" hit...

Powermad is where lots of us originally met - my friendships with Glenn, Ken, Todd, Guy, STevie and so many others started in 1997 at the first Powermad .....one day, while a lot of us were sitting around the huge tables they had at Powermad, someone mentioned the legendary words - " I can do bette...

POVERTY'S NO CRIME / A Secret To Hide - This was a no brainer as we've talked about > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Xd_woZExA ****Great disc. Great band. STRANGER / Kaleidoscope - Based on the video that Noren posted, this was awesome. I hear a mix of Leprous and Haken in the music with tons of...

The singer killed it for me ..... too high pitched and not enough control.

Maybe I'm talking out my ass and way too early - but I'm dumbfounded that more people aren't talking about this one, or at least checking it out ....... seems as Claus and a few others have heard it, and aren't that excited about it as I am - but hopefully that won't change when I get the disc. That...

Much like most here, I had been on the alt.prog sites all over the internet at the time. I had met Ken Golden at the time, ( man I miss The Lasers Edge catalogue ) and at the same time I met the great Erik Welty, whose now famous prog band listing helped me find all sorts of prog that was circulatin...
