Exactly !  That was then. Since then, my style has become ...... amazing  *horns*  ;D

But Blueys "little pregnancy" doesnt seem to have amounted to much  :D

So what does all this have to do with Blind Ego ?  You guys tell me  ???

Good question, PH. Well, sorry to deceive you with an unextraordinary answer but I just didn't notice the date  :-[

But date and Bluey are two words that go together well   ;)

What?

Yes, message board, I know this topic hasn't been posted on recently, but that's no reason to make a second one for the same band.  :P

Inasmuch as I've been meaning to give these guys a try for a while now, they're another of those bands that it's nearly impossible to get a physical CD from here, and I've got a discount on my next Amazon download, I'm planning to buy the download of one of their albums.  Any opinions as to which one to try first?

As they have only 2 CD's why not start with the first?

It's about time I got some of their stuff, too! 8)

As good a method as any unless the second is clearly better (since I won't buy the other if I don't like the first).

Editor's note: once again I typed this a long while ago, but I got distracted -- this time talking to a woman who doesn't obviously want me dead, which is always a nice change of pace.    ;D

Yes, the ones who hide their feelings are always a nice change ;)

If I meet one who hides those feelings for a full year after meeting me, I'll probably marry her.   8)

Best album to start with?

Mirror is nice but Numb is insanely good, so that'll be my choice.  ;)

There we go, a man not afraid to take a stand.  Numb it shall be unless we get multiple votes for Mirror in the next day or so.

QuoteMirror is nice but Numb is insanely good, so that'll be my choice.

Though there are some extremely good songs on Numb, as a whole I like Mirror better.

I suppose it depends on your taste. Mirror is a more song-oriented (not unlike Arena), while the somewhat heavier Numb echoes Queensryche...

From what I've heard: Mirror!

I still should buy that one myself.

To make things even easier for you, I would start with Mirror.

I think Mirror is more diverse and - dare I say it - more prog. Although Numb has got some stellar songs, after a while the album started to sound a bit 'samey' to me. I think this is mainly because there are no keyboards present on this album.

On Mirror, there are actually three different 'types' of songs. There are the typical prog-songs, sung by Paul Wrightson, there are a few rockier tunes sung by John Mitchell, and there are a few instrumental songs as well. Because of this, the album doesn't sound quite as coherent as Numb, but it's great nevertheless and it's the one I would recommend to someone who isn't familiar with Blind Ego.

I hope this helps. :)

So there you go Mirror it is.  ;D

I agree with Tom. He has summed up the 2 Blind Ego CD's perfectly.

Yep, overall Mirror is the better album - it has more distinct songs whereas, like The Butterfly Man said, Numb is quite 'samey' although to be fair as it still didn't grab me after a couple of spins I haven't played it for a little while - perhaps I should give it another go tomorrow.

OK, thanks guys.  I asked for opinions, and opinions I got.  Sounds like I'll be getting Mirror after all, although chances are I'll end up with both.
