Alter Bridge - [Fortress - 2013 - #05] - The Uninvited

in yer face. i feel wicked. 

Just commented on their facebook page about crappy CD production. Let the flame war begin.

[Bupie]

Just received from an Amazon shop:

NP  Van Halen 3 

I'm ahead of you guys again 

Do you talk about the 1998 album, called III, or about the third album of the band, Women And Children First ? If it is the latter, I don't think that you are ahead of me since this is the very first vinyle album I bought in March 1980, along with Duke's Genesis, that was released this same month. I really liked Duke and really disliked Women And Children First (though it has a great title and cover). I haven't listened to it for something like thirty years !

You really know how to smear it in, Cap - but I agree 

Get the other six Ayreon albums and we'll talk.

I don't think so, Paxi, not for a while iac, they'r bit too much musical like for my taste (it's an age matter). But he's , Arjen, I like Guilt Machine a lot (just got the cd today - Yeah!)

We're talkin anyway, aint we, Paxi 

Are you talkin my correction, my style about the 1998 album, called III, or about the third album of the band, Women And Children First ?

Van Halen III, Bupie, super album, try it out:

From Afar  www.youtube.com/watch?v=82DHZ7se2NE

I posted it earlier - but with you guys ... 

Doesn't matter, cuz it's one'f the best songs EVA 

Duke's Genesis

You know, Bupie, I think it's the other way round - altho today I prefer it your way 


NP  Van Halen:  Best Of

www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbEW9Zv7f6U

Their early stuff sounds rather superficial today, quite festive tho ... but along the way ... 

- Nicky

[Bupie]

Yes Nicky, my poor English catches me again although I try to make my best ...

NP Subsignal - Paraiso

Wow, quite impressive at first listen ! It makes me think of a lighter version of Vanden Plas. Go and listen on progstreaming.com

[Nicky007]

NP  Van Halen III  (on repeat) 

Here's a super song with a very visible (audible) Genesis touch the sorta song Genesis could'a made post-Abacus if they had kept their touch and had a guitarist with Eddie's abilities:

Oh, man, this is sooooooo good, gotta get Van Halen in my Pantheon - just for this album 

Let's see about the rest .....

NP Subsignal - Paraiso

Wow, quite impressive at first listen ! It makes me think of a lighter version of Vanden Pas. Go and listen on progstreaming.com

Thanks for the reminder. Listening now!

[funkster]

Kreator - Phantom antichrist

Even some acoustic guitars on there 

[PH]

Still listening to Subsignal's "Paraiso"

I don't know why, but it makes me think of a heavier version of Yes.   Does that make sense?

Just like Bupie, I'm impressed! I'm surely going to listen to more of this!


This is the successor to Sieges Even, right? Does that band come recommended?

[PH]

NP

Chris - "Days Of Summer Gone"
I like the cover art!

[maddox]

Ah!!!!

I so need this!!!!

NP>  Pantera ~ Cowboys from Hell 

[Teunis]

See, Teunis, Porcupine Trees grow all over the place 

Not in my cd box anyway .

NP Subsignal - Paraiso

Wow, quite impressive at first listen ! It makes me think of a lighter version of Vanden Plas. Go and listen on progstreaming.com

Just played this one too and I'm as impressed .

Still listening to Subsignal's "Paraiso"
This is the successor to Sieges Even, right? Does that band come recommended?

According to Wikipedia Sieges Even was disbanded in 2008. Two members (Arno Menses and Markus Steffen) formed Subsignal. I've heard the Sieges Even album 'Paramount', which is a fine album.

np: Leap Day - From The Days Of Deucalion, Chapter 1. Nice music, but don't like the vocals at all.

[PH]

Played Outworld again today. Still nice, but for some reason it doesn't grip me in the same way as it first did.

Now playing:
Steve Hackett - "Genesis Revisited II"

I really like this. Steve made a very nice tribute to his former band. The songs were already good of course, but I think he actually improved on them here and there. Mainly because of introductions or instruments. Some of the vocals are not really an improvement.

[Nicky007]

Played Outworld again today. Still nice, but for some reason it doesn't grip me in the same way as it first did.

It's simply a question of balls, Paxi; some have'm, some don't. But don't worry, one can have a good life without'm, like half of the world's population are born without

I did have them. But when I listened to Outworld, they spontaneously dropped off.

It will be fine. I'll listen to it again when I'm in my angry mood.

Airbag - The Greatest Show On Earth
Mystery - One Among The Living

np: Ayreon - The Theory Of Everything

[maddox]

Airbag - The Greatest Show On Earth

I very muchly like that album.
Though it's Airbag as we know it, it is a bit rougher than before.
I can appreciate that. 

np: Ayreon - The Theory Of Everything

And I'm playing The Human Equation.
currently Day Six: Childhood

[Teunis]

I very muchly like that album.
Though it's Airbag as we know it, it is a bit rougher than before.
I can appreciate that. 

Yeah, they are definitely growing, both as musicans and the recording quality .

Steve Lukather - Candyman (5.1 version)

[PH]

The Flower Kings - "Back In The World Of Adventures"
A direct follow-up to Roine Stolt's "The Flower King", in sound and musicians.

[maddox]

Dream Theater ~ Dream Theater (2013)

I'm quite a bit dissapointed with the album.
Especially the 'big one' is a let down.
It's nice, especially the beginning but some parts are big question marks.
The orchestral piece in the middle and the end for instance...it would've been better if they skipped those two.
And then Along for the Ride. ...

Give me a break, guys. ... Mike the Ist was right about one thing; they lack inspiration. ...

[Teunis]

Knight Area - Under A New Sign

[Bupie]

Dream Theater ~ Dream Theater (2013)
Especially the 'big one' is a let down.

Yes, I agree about this one

And then Along for the Ride. ...

I really like it, especially the guitar during the second verse and the keys solo. But I can understand that you have a déjà vu feeling about it.
Overall, I am not disappointed at all, even if I miss a masterpiece song like Breaking All Illusions on the previous album.

NP Big Big Train - Make Some Noise

[PH]

I'm with Mad on this. Although, I still like it. Dream Theater's best albums are behind us. But their selftitled album is still a good listen.
They are somewhat repeating themselves.

NP Big Big Train - Make Some Noise

Seems you really like it!

Just listened to Big Big Train's "English Electric, Part Two". Probably my number one of 2013.

Still listening to Subsignal's "Paraiso"

No

Yes they are quite similar imo.
