this album rocks 

Pendragon always Rocks. Outstanding band that could blend whatever aspect I want hear from a prog-band. 

np: Pendragon - The Edge of The World 

[Nicky007]

NP  Vanden Plas:  The God Thing

Great album from one of the world's greatest progmetal bands

Frost* - Experiments In Mass Appeal
Bonus DVD: Falling Down (Instrumental)

With the best keyboardsolo of 2008 in my opinion.

I'm curious with Frost* now 

NP: Back to the magic of childhood - Pagan's mind
Very soft opener and followed by usual heavy riff and nice tempo's change. And certainly the keys sound is quite good

[Steve Jones]

Threshold - Critical Energy. (The CDs, not the DVD!)

[Nicky007]

NP  Vanden Plas:  Fire Blossom / Rainmaker  (on The God Thing, on repeat)

Real  

Mad, Tom, Hanin, and Jonesey, you guys should get thisa1 (if you dont have it yet) 

And Paxi, Garden Of Stones (nb 3 on TGT) has one of the cooooooolest keyboard atmospherics, contrasted with some reeeeeeal heavy stuff

Marillion - Happiness on the Road, Live at The Forum, London, 19 November 2008

This is a limited edition (1,000 copies) double CD that was recorded on the night for fans to buy on the way out of the gig.  The only drawback is the (very nice) packaging doesn't have a track list as, obviously, this part was manufactured in advance - I hate typing track details in when ripping to digital!

Although the physical item is sold out, digital downloads can still be had from http://www.marillion.com/shop/music/hotr.htm

I know. 
Most of VDP's albums are above average which is good. Christ. O is to date their best effort imo.

Lets speed things up a bit:

Megadeth - United Abominations

To feed the metal-me. 

[Teunis]

The Reasoning - Dark Angel

[Iggy]

Drama - Yes

[maddox]

Devin Townsend - Terria

Some people reccomended this album to me because it's one of the proggiest albums of mr. Townsend.
I don't agree. 

In the mellow songs he sings rather well i'd say and those songs are the best but when he speed things up...it's like... 

[Steve Jones]

Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos.

[h9]

Blind Curve - Marillion

[Nicky007]

NP  Vanden Plas:  Fire Blossom / Rainmaker  (on The God Thing, still stuck on this start of the album)

Actually Riverside fans should go for this 

And Stephan Lill is a brilliant guitar player

Enchant - Tug Of War

Track: [01] Sinking Sand

NP  Dillinger:  Miss Machine

Strange, after Ire Works, MM seems more accessible to me 

Wikipedia writes about MM: "The critical reception for Miss Machine was relatively favorable, with Allmusic going so far as to say, 'There's nothing more to say — the next true image of rock & roll has crawled out of the swamps of Jersey.' Despite being positive in their review, Pitchfork noticed 'Though Miss Machine displays DEP in top musical form, the band seems to have lost its confidence and direction.' Rolling Stone, however, was negative, noticing 'unless you're trying to drive a third world dictator out of his barricaded palace, you'll be hard pressed to listen to Miss Machine in its entirety.'"

Rolling Stone has long been mainstream. But there's some truth to what they write; I too am bewildered by much of the album. But I think that Allmusic is right: DEP are a groundbreaking band, for sure !

Hey, guys, honestly, are you becoming a bit "loungy" ?

Next time you pull down your pants, just check .....
