Was curious after this album got the highest rate 'vette krent' in the iO-pages. Let's say that I have an other taste than the reviewer. It sounds like ordinary AOR to me. Reminds me a bit of Toto, but I do prefer my favourite band ;).

At the first track I didn't like the vocals, but later on it was better. The music is cool, will listen again :).

np: Theo - Figureheads (Like especially the last two tracks)

I agree with you. When the first song sets in, you're put on the wrong track at first. But the album develops into a pretty nice retro-symphonic-neo-prog album. For W&W-era Genesis fans and bands like Transatlantic. The last two tracks are my favourites as well.

I found 'Her Halo' a great album, the album after it didn't grip me and I was curious what this one would be. Except for the track with growls, the album is great. Will listen to it more often!

I also listened to this quite a few times. I really like it! I've sort of missed out on earlier releases. What do you think is their best album? "Her Halo"? You seem to know them very well.

pp: The Pineapple Thief - Versions Of The Truth 8) (Still my favourite 2020 release, like it more than the new Neal Morse and Gazpacho album ... but the year isn't over yet ;))

I love that album. I don't know if it's my favourite of 2020, but I expect it to end very high on the list.
I also like it more than the new Gazpacho. But I don't think I'll rate it higher than the new Neal Morse album. I think the second half of "Sola Gratia" has some really fine parts. I really like the song Never Change. So powerful and so true. It really got me a few days back. The words really entered my heart and they 'convicted' and humbled me...

Riverside - Love, Fear And The Time Machine

I listened to this one yesterday. The strange thing is, when it came out, it didn't do much for me. But it may be their best album to date. I also love "Shrine Of New Generation Slaves". Can't really choose.

You can't just talk about an unknown band here, saying it's really great, without actually give a (small) review about it Teunis! What is it like? What makes you want to listen to it again? Do you recommend it?

Definitely will listen again. A very pleasant listen, albeit a bit long.

Riverside - Wasteland 8)

There we have the other one. I wonder how you would rank these albums Teunis:
"Wasteland", "Love, Fear And The Time Machine", "Shrine Of New Generation Slaves"

And do you think Riverside and Lunatic Soul are shifting more and more towards each other? What are your favourite Lunatic Soul albums? I really like "Walking On A Flashlight Beam".

I was wondering what you would think of that one. And why is "In Extremis" still not found on Spotify?

Different Light - Binary Suns Part 1 (Operant Condition) 8)

Still listening to that one I see. 8) It's a cool album.



Last few days I listened a lot to:
Neal Morse - "Sola Gratia"
It starts off pretty good, than it gets a little weaker, but it ends really really well. Not his best. Certainly not his worst.
Riverside - "Love, Fear And The Time Machine"
Teramaze - "I Wonder"
John Petrucci - "Terminal Velocity"
I think this is a good example of an instrumental album done well. I like it. 8)
Ozric Tentacles - "Space For The Earth"
Pretty cool stuff. A bit interchangeable with their previous album though.
The Flower Kings - "Islands"
I need to listen to it a lot more. But I already think that it's different from the other albums. No big epics. But very pretty.

Also today I listened to:
Black Fate - "Ithaca"
It reminds me of Kamelot. It's not bad, but I don't think I will listen to it again.

White Walls - "Grandeur"
Also not really original. But I think it's still better than Black Fate. I think I'll try again. I also think you should not try it Teunis, because of the growls. :P

At this moment I listen to:
Zirp - "Circle Divine"
Only three songs in, but I already really like it. It features a hurdy-gurdy which gives it a medieval and folky sound. Yet, it's still a very easy-listen.

I only know 'Her Halo' and the two albums after that. 'Her Halo' deninitely is the best of those!

:). Actually I didn't listen for the second time yet and I don't know why it gripped me then. Will listen tomorrow, thanks for reminding me ;).

Indeed, only from his website and a long one which made it boring in the end.

Exactly in the order you mention them :D. But I find their first two albums great as well 8).

Actually LS is a bit too 'electronic' for me, Don't like it half as much as Riverside. The two tracks I heard from the upcoming release are sounding more like Riverside. Will listen to that album for sure, but overall I'm not that enthusiastic abous LS.

Prog metal from Puerto Rico. Must have read a positive review somewhere which made me listen to it. Well, I like the melodies and the guitar solos on this one. And the singer has a pleasant voice, at least for me ;). It reminds me a bit of Shadow Gallery, though they're not at the same level. Yes, nice music indeed 8).

It's on Spotify. Nice, but I do prefer Riverside. Will give it some listenings, after that I'll decide whether it will become a purchase :).

Wanted to hear it after reading a positive review on DPRP.net. The album seems to have influences from bands like Arena, Wolverine, The Pineapple Thief, Abigails Ghost, Votum, Satellite, Believe and Riverside. Impressive list, so I had to give it a listen. Well, I do hear some of those bands in it, but the quality of those bands is better than this band/album. Just IMHO of course :). Full review here: https://www.dprp.net/reviews/2020-105#acute-mind,
