Good, 'cause I think that's their best album.

Ehh...what!?


on shuffle-mode!

Tom

Uhm.... very sad actually huh?    The last 3 years I've been so busy Renovating my house, I just don't had the time...But don't worry, there's already an album on my wishlist Take a guess wichone

NP  Linkin Park - Munites to Midnight

[debsss]

NP Elegion - Through the eyes of regret

[Nicky007]

thanks (again) Nicky.

I immediately went to some online-stores but sadly none of them seem to have the album so I'll just keep on searching...

I'm not sure that it's officially released yet. I just read some reviews about it in newspapers and mags. I expect that Amazon.com will have it at some point, as they pretty much have everything.

I'm not gonno actively pursue it currently, as my musical interests lie elsewhere    but if I get a chance to listen to it, I will 

hvis det er okay med dig. I hope Google Translate didn't mess up what I'm trying to say...

Nope, perfect translation (hvis=if, det=it, er=is, okay=okay (surprised?), med=with, dig=you, like "Jeg elsker dig"  ).

Guess you can get Google to translate some of the stuff, and I can help too (send it in pm's). Particularly with this album, I think it's important to understand what he's singing about.

JP: Lis Er Stille - The Collibro

Tom, you'r a lot into Danish music. It would make sense for you to learn some Danish. It's actually not so different from Dutch - both are marshy 


NP  KoK:  Reptilian Majesty  (on repeat) 

That opening of the Ports to Heaven at the end (after all that noise  ) is simply overwhelming 

KoK's Reptilian is my album of the year 2010 - no doubt - with Haken's Aquarius as second. I don't yet know what should be third ... maybe Nevermore's Obsidian Conspiracy, I have to listen to it more, somehow it didnt grip me like This Godless Endeavor and Jeff's solo-album, but that's probably cuz I got my fill of that stuff for a while, I did listen a lot to those two albums (over 100 times).

Looks like my preference is rather heavy currently (altho the quiet moments give me the shivers) 

Nicky.

[The Butterfly Man]

Now I regret mentioning that I used Google to translate what I wanted to say to you in Danish...

Okay, you'll hear from me then, once I get hold of the album...

Tom, you'r a lot into Danish music. It would make sense for you to learn some Danish. It's actually not so different from Dutch - both are marshy 

Actually you're right, I dig a lot of Danish artists: Mew, Saybia, Lis Er Stille, Carpark North and Tim Christensen to name a few. Too bad I've never been there yet, although I've been thinking about making a citytrip to Copenhagen for quite some time now.

JP: Opeth - Blackwater Park
NP: Opeth - Deliverance
Up next: Opeth - Ghost Reveries

Wow. I really need to listen to Opeth more often.

I've been thinking about making a citytrip to Copenhagen for quite some time now.

You know who to contact when plans materialise 

I can show you (and yer lady) around to all prog related places. If you'r clever, you'l even organise your visit in connection with a good concert in Cop 

Wow. I really need to listen to Opeth more often.

Makes sense 


Guys, I found a new group (new to the Room that is): Masterplan.

"Masterplan is a German power metal band founded by Roland Grapow and Uli Kusch upon leaving Helloween." - Wikipedia, Masterplan (band)

Despite them being a German group, they have a distinctive American sound to'm. Guess that's very much cuz they got Jørn Lande singing.

Here's Masterplan's Spirit Never Die 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oDXRo78rtY

I find it interesting that the Norwegian singers are so good at English. In fact they'r top of the game in all ways. There's Lande, Khan, ICS Vortex, Thebon, and Michael Eriksen, just to name some of those that I listen a lot to.

Good idea. I *may* visit Copenhagen next summer as part of a roadtrip I'm planning together with the bassplayer and drummer of my band. Our plans are still in their early stages but I'll keep you posted.

Wait, what? You mean Roy Khan? Is he Norwegian?

NP: Amorphis - Skyforger

I guess it's needless to say that this album rocks...

You *may* need a real lead guitarist 

Wait, what? You mean Roy Khan? Is he Norwegian?

Listen to One Cold Winter's Night - Live at Rockefeller in Oslo, 2006 


NP  Deathspell Omega:  Fas – Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum

Quite unusual 

Nicky.

[Manatee]

NP: Riverside - Live in Amsterdam 2008 (companion DVD to ADHD)

[Nicky007]

Actually you're right, I dig a lot of Danish artists

Then you should really get into Anubis Gate, top-league melodic progmetal for the thinking wo/man (the lyrics are in English), the only Danish band that to my mind is up there with the international biggies (DT & Co.) 


NP  Nachtmystium:  Black Meddle   

Hm, next time 5000. Cap, you'v kept me quite busy 

Guess I'l have to post somethin special .....

Nicky.

[Manatee]

JP: Jethro Tull - Bursting Out

NP: IQ - Ever

Gazpacho - Missa Atropos
Gazpacho - Tick Tock
Day Six - The Grand Design

KBB ~ The Desert of Desires

[The Butterfly Man]

You *may* need a lead guitarist 

Actually I do since I'm also the singer in my band these days and it's real hard to play lead and sing at the same time! Playing rhythm guitar and singing is easy but our songs need lead guitar!

Then you should really get into Anubis Gate, top-league melodic progmetal for the thinking wo/man (the lyrics are in English), the only Danish band that to my mind is up there with the international biggies (DT & Co.) 

Yeah next week the holidays start (which means that I'll have two weeks off from work) so I'll finally have some time to listen to new bands. I'm really looking forward to it!

Guess I'l have to post somethin special .....

Don't bother. Just buy us beer!

JP: Gazpacho - Tick Tock

NP: Opeth - Deliverance

Tom

[Nicky007]

Don't bother. Just buy us beer!

OK, I will ... but only those who deserve it ... so I'l drink'm all myself

What happened to real 

I'll finally have some time to listen to new bands. I'm really looking forward to it!

I got a whole bunch of'm forya, Tom, e.g.

NP  KoK:  Kolossus

How long do I have to be alone in the Room with this Genius group 

I thought that I was the old guy here who should settle down 

Nicky.

[Bupie]

NP Jadis - Photoplay

Their last studio album to date (and at all ?  ) and a good one.

[Bupie]

NP IQ - The Seventh House

Wow, it took me a while to like it but now I just find it outsanding, really 

Sorry, Nick, but I am far from metal, progressive or not, these days ...

[The Butterfly Man]

OK, I will ... but only those who deserve it ... so I'l drink'm all myself 

Tsss, I thought we were friends...

What happened to real 

I guess it got lost in translation...

I am far from metal, progressive or not, these days ...

With me it's the other way round. I've been listening to Opeth a LOT this week, especially Deliverance. It's so heavy and addictive, great!

Next to Opeth I've been listening to a.o. Between The Buried And Me, Tool, Amorphis, Mastodon, Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold and Mutiny Within. Oh, and some A Perfect Circle too, since I got Mer de Noms and eMotive from my brother as a belated gift for my birthday!

It seems I said goodbye to the 'moderate' stuff (for now)...

NP: James LaBrie - Static Impulse

Tom

[Nicky007]

Sorry, Nick, but I am far from metal, progressive or not, these days ...

You'r French too. I don't know what's worse 

But seriously, Bups, I think that's how it is for all of us. Even I can get tired of all that moronic metal banging around. And the growl gets to me too 

Then there's nothing better than Arena's Ascension ... or Lisa Gerrard's Sacrifice. Give it a listen, Bups, really 

And you too, Tom ... or else I'l start callin you a French Fry 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoXsxYf2UMA

now I just find it outsanding, really 

You should stop takin your cd's to the beach, Bups 

Tsss, I thought we were friends...

Yes, we are, but I'm even better friends with my beer 

I guess it got lost in translation...

I could easily get lost in her ... what was it ? yeah, translation 

Next to Opeth I've been listening to ... Tool, Amorphis, Mastodon, Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold

You'r just rattling off my prog pantheon 

It seems I said goodbye to the 'moderate' stuff (for now)...

So you know what's on the program now, Tom. It all begins and ends with K. Practice: "K, OK!  K, OK! ....."

Just fasten your seat belt, and YouTube "Kalessin Majesty", and you'r ready for "a helluva ride" - Dr. Mad of MadWorld. You can even Ctrl-C this. Then you might even deserve a cold beer when ya get to Cop 


JP  Hawkwind:  Epocheclipse – 30 Year Anthology  (3 cd's)

Unusual, and occasionally rocks ... but after having done some 5 hours of Hawkwind, I think I have enuff for a while 


NP  Into Eternity:  Buried in Oblivion

This is the group that I like best in this metal department, more than BTBAM and Shadows Fall.

Of course, if we count in Trivium, then their Shogun is way above all else (imo) 

Tom 

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

NP  SW:  Waiting In The Wings

There's no doubt about this one 

Nicky.

[Teunis]

NP IQ - The Seventh House

Wow, it took me a while to like it but now I just find it outsanding, really 

Really? It was my favourite IQ album, but I'm afraid Frequency tops it  .

Darkwater - Where Stories End
Antimatter - Saviour

I'm a bit uninspired to type, so that's all for now...

Tom

[Nicky007]

I'm a bit uninspired to type, so that's all for now...

I think it's still sorta 10-1 in my favor ... so ..... 

Maybe I'm just more talkative than you, Tom 

But that doesnt make me less intelligent 


I must say that at this point Mutiny Within doesnt do much for me. But I'l revisit .....


Somehow I always end up playing

NP  KoK:  Reptilian Majesty

these days 

Donno why 

Maybe I just like great music 

Nicky.
