I heard that a while ago, but forgot to mention it, but still great news! Yet I hope the next album will be a little less 'dark'.

Because??

If you're searching for happy prog I'd recommend A.C.T which is absolutely BRILLIANT. You take Queen, Dream Theater and some other elements, mix it and you get the idea.

Noooo, not happy! Just a little less gloomy and dark. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe some faster songs+solo's?

Not that it is gloomy and dark. It makes you think, and maybe you do not like what you are thinking.

I like very much how the y think and make me think

It's just that even today in this world at least some positive things happen

PH · Wed, 2006-08-09, 09:11:28

Yeah, well, still you should listen to A.C.T... I suggest you start with Last Epic.

Do You play in that band that You make so much advertisement for them

johninblack · Wed, 2006-08-09, 17:27:09

And if it's only half as good as the last two albums it will be fantastic.

Well I like to advertise for bands I like! But it seems A.C.T is hard to find...
But listen to a sample on ProgArchives!

*Ahum* ehh?? What? Oh yes, Threshold. *Ahum* Yeah, great band!

Back to Threshold, I only know Hypothetical and Critical Mass, which are generally considered as their best albums, and frankly I am not so impressed $:-\$

I think that if you take the best parts of those two cd's, you could have one hell of an album but I feel that there are many fillers on each one.

So I propose that they start all over again and record just one album called Hypothetical Mass with the following track listing :

Light and Space
Phenomenom
Sheltering Sky
Falling Away
Long Way Home
Echoes of Life
Narcissus
Avalon

Now you have a classic for ages

More seriously, I am not planning to go further with Threshold if those two aforementioned are really their best albums. Would like to see the DVD, though, cause it should be fun to watch them play Light and Space. What a great tune

PH · Thu, 2006-11-16, 13:55:19

I've seen the DVD and to be honest, I wasn't impressed.

The voice and maybe other things were overdubbed. And generally it did nothing with me.
Just the same songs sounding exactly the same without anything extra added...

No...

You better buy Dream Theater's Score.
Anyway, that's my opinion, and as you all should know by now, my opinion is superior to others.

I already bought Score

Great setlist, poor hair cut for John Petrucci (who should slow down on body building, by the way). BUT ... am I the only one to feel that LaBrie's voice is completely out of sync, which of course leads to suspicion of complete vocals overdubbing (backing vocals included cause I never heard Mike so in tune)

GREAT band, anyway ...

Bupie · Thu, 2006-11-16, 14:33:07

Oups, PH, I just saw that you already mentioned Petrucci's haircut in the Score topic. Sorry, I didn't want to copy ...

Don't worry!
That from the haircut was obvious.

Anyone in the house who likes it?

*silence*

Ok.
Didn't realise the body building and I also don't think Labrie is overdubbed.

Ok, so let's say that's just a matter of sync. Is his voice in sync with the images on your copy ?

Yup. As far as I know.
I'll be watching it tonight or tomorrow night (or the day after tomorrow). I'll let you know as soon as I've watched it again.

My Smoke and Mirrors DVD was in sync right from the start, no need to get it fixed. So maybe I get a divine punishment with DT for being so lucky with Arena
