NP  Sieges Even:  Paramount

So now I'v listened to it five times in a row, and I'm really impressed. This is one mf of an album 

Each of these four guys is awesome, and together they're simply over the top.

What a treat!

The Fourth Reich is one of great music !!!

Def Leppard - Hysteria

Maddox, you are my hero!!   

[Nicky007]

Ten:  Through The Fire  (on Essential)   

Fire, you bet! A real caustic one.

This song redefines what singing is !!!

And the guitar is right up there too !

John Wetton - Sinister

[The Butterfly Man]

Guys, I'm back! So what have I missed the last couple of weeks?

NP: Evans Blue - A Cross And A Girl Named Blessed

Really awesome band. They remind me somewhat of Tool and A Perfect Circle but I think you guys have to listen and decide for yourself if you like it or not...Anyway, here's a link to their MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/evansblue

Cheers, Tom

NP  Genesis:  Foxtrot

To my taste, this one is more interesting than enjoyable. If it hadn't been that Genesis became such a great band later on, I would never have gotten Foxtrot.

In my mind, the first real enjoyable album is Selling England, which is sooo much better than Foxtrot, and then it gets better and better up to Duke and Abacab.

Anybody here like the first three Genesis albums? - if so, what and why?

Mainly a lot of good beer, a bunch of birthdays, some interesting stuff in the Room - and some silly stuff - but isnt that the way we Roomies are? 

What were you so busy with, Tom?

Sounds real good, Tom. I'm sure gonna try'm out. I'm a big fan of Tool and APC. And I know that you're never out with bullshit stuff.

NP  Genesis:  Foxtrot

To my taste, this one is more interesting than enjoyable. If it hadn't been that Genesis became such a great band later on, I would never have gotten Foxtrot.

I think Foxtrot has one of the best Genesis songs on it: Supper's Ready!! And the beautiful acoustic guitar piece: Horizons (my dad used to play it on his guitar very often (even before I ever knew it was a Genesis song)). Watcher of the skies is also very good I think.

In my mind, the first real enjoyable album is Selling England, which is sooo much better than Foxtrot, and then it gets better and better up to Duke and Abacab.

I agree that Selling England By The Pound is much better than Foxtrot. But I think the earlier albums are very enjoyable too.

Anybody here like the first three Genesis albums? - if so, what and why?

Yes, I do!
From Genesis To Revelation (did you count that one too, Nicky?) is very simple and not really a good album, also because of production. But some songs are very nice and the guys (in their teens back then!!) showed very well how professional they were, or at least how professional they would become! In The Wilderness is very beautiful! The piano parts are very good. Of course it's more (60's) pop than prog but who cares...
Trespass is very good. It has some GREAT songs on it! Visions Of Angels for instance: WOW!!! Tears in my eyes when I listen to that one. But each song on this album has something nice.
Nursery Cryme: The Musical Box!! People, how can someone not like this?? This is also a brilliant piece of music! Harold The Barrel is very funny and secretly still very cool. Good album!
And then of course Foxtrot, which I already told about.

NP Kino - Loser's Day Paradise

Hey Mister Nameless, Do I seem a bit insensitive ... 

  No, wait  

[Nicky007]

NP  Genesis:  Wind & Wuthering

Now we're talkin business guys. This is one heck of an album. Real melodic and atmospheric. And Phil has become a fantastic singer, beside being a tremendous drummer 

And it's a real album. After all the banging around in "... In That Quiet Earth", Afterglow really transports you to higher spheres mmmmmmmm.

I must say, now that I'v gone deeper in Genesis, I'm now willing to place them in the top league together with Beatles, Floyd, Zep, and DT. There sure is a lot of Genius there

NP   Wuthering Heights:  The Shadow Cabinet

A fusion of power metal and folk music. Quite special. A Danish-Swedish band. Great singer. As good as it gets within power metal (although PM isnt really my thing, more for youths).

Nicky.

[bluepony]

Power metal? Yuck... you mean they're yodeling! 

[Nicky007]

No, more Irish style, on the folk side; and Dragonforce, on the power side. I'd say, somethin for you, Bluey. It rattles the brain nicely - whatever's left

I think you've posted a link to their website somewhere in another thread... the name sounds familiar... and if I'm not totally mistaken, they're indeed not too bad.

How would I know what's left of your brain, Nicky, after you smoked all that spicy stuff and drowned the remaining brain cells with loads of beer!

Well, Ms 007 says the same ...... but she likes my company nonetheless. Shows what women go for 

> I think you've posted a link to their website somewhere in another thread

Yup. Go searchin .....

> if I'm not totally mistaken, they're indeed not too bad.

Women go for the Wuthering Heights jive. They expect us men to spend all our life gettin them there.

Have a nice weekend, Bluey (and keep dreamin)

Have a nice weekend too!
