NW One Cold Winter's Night - Kamelot

Wonderful 

Nicky.

[Peter]

Actually, Cap, both singular and plural are acceptable in English 
The associations differ tho:  Singular indicates the group as an entity, while plural refers to it as an assembly of individuals.
I too prefer the plural form, as I note what the individual members contribute with.
But here I think it's really a matter of taste 
But the content of Tom's post is absolutely wrong 

I was actually referring to making posts like "this IS, and that is NOT...": opinions can't be stated as facts. Disturbs me more in this special case, as I don't share the opinion I should stop being too much of an old school teacher... sorry Tom.

NP  Marillion:  Clutching At Straws
Not as good as Misplaced Childhood imo, but it has the wonderful Warm Wet Circles 

I love it, it's a brilliant album. Haven't listened to it for quite while now, as like many others, cos I'm a bit over-fed (?) with the stuff.

[Peter]

What's so funny about 'art'? If there was an 'f' in front of it, I could imagine that YOU could laugh about it, but...

Great, that made me laugh for quite a while

Oh, and while talking about "art" and being a "beast": just take the Porcupine Tree stuff, it has all there is to art and smashy metal stuff.

Dream the Electric Sleep ~ Lost and Gone Forever

Info: http://www.dreamtheelectricsleep.com/

You can download their album for free. Give it a try.

Wow, they have some of the really big sounds in there. Very good.

Excellent example!!
Porcupine Tree can be a beast and art at the same time.

OK, Cap, but you didnt make that clear. Anyhows, we all make categorical statements like that, meaning of course "imo" 

I'm a bit over-fed (?) with the stuff.

So what do you listen to instead, Cap ?

just take the Porcupine Tree stuff, it has all there is to art and smashy metal stuff.

True, but e.g. DT, Priest, and All That Remains have all that too 


NP  All That Remains  on  YouTube

e.g.  Two Weeks   www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGtW4AFyLyM

Baptized in Blood, Bullet for my Valentine, and All That Remains were the three big positive surprises for me at Copenhell, and ATR were the best (imo). Later, listenin to them on YouTube (I barely knew'm beforehand, and thus I didnt have any cd's by'm), it's clear to me that they'r pantheon (imo), and thus --> my pantheon groups 

I'l tell you more about my experiences at Copenhell later - promise - just have had some busy days 

Nicky.

Yeah maybe you have a point but I was getting a bit fed up with all the praise for the Fish-era and the neglect towards the h-era, that's what triggered my reply. And besides, opinions can't be stated as facts you say? Then what's this:

Marillion ended 1988.

NP: Sun Domingo - Songs For End Times

Listening to it -DTES- right now : really cool ! 

[The Butterfly Man]

Getting ready for a double Devy delivery.   

Me too!!!

NP: Symphony X - Iconoclast

I can't get enough of it. This album is turning out to be a masterpiece!

I also played V: The New Mythology Suite yesterday, for the first time in more than a year. I forgot how good it really is. But the thing is, there's just too much good music around and I don't have the time to listen to it all.

Rebecca St. James - "If I Had One Chance To Tell You Something"
5. Love Being Loved By You

Sometimes I just need this. This album is really nice PopRock.

NP: Symphony X - Iconoclast

I can't get enough of it. This album is turning out to be a masterpiece!

I wouldn't go that far but it's a good album.
It does sound a bit like Paradise Lost but then better.

Riverside - Memories In My Head

[Nicky007]

Swedish progmetal band Wolverine has released a new album, called Communication Lost.
And here's the video that goes along with these lyrics.
Watch and be amazed. 

Yeah a bit like Amorphis. Thx Mad.


Guys, here are four great songs by two of my pantheon acts - special for you

Faith No More:  Pristina    www.youtube.com/watch?v=RywWpPdIXcc

Ah, guilty...

[Nicky007]

Ah, guilty...

You know that for captains, dishonesty requires capital punishment 




NP  Faith No More:  Stripsearch  (on repeat)

Man, can't get that song outta my head 

Any'o ya guys played it ?


I read in the magazine Sweden Rock that Iconoclast was considered the heaviest SyX album to date, the "Black album" of SyX.

From Amazon.com: "Considering this accomplished history of prolific creation, prog connoisseurs may ask themselves how SYMPHONY X could possibly go one better. The answer comes from the singer himself, Russell Allen: 'Iconoclast delivers a summary of our previous work and a musical positioning of SYMPHONY X within the second decade of the new century.' Meanwhile, Michael Romeo raises the bar enormously with his guitar work: 'This record will only become accessible to the listener after several runs. That was our purpose – otherwise we would have failed trying to create a multi-faceted and profound album that gives pleasure to our fans for a long time!'"

Hm, gets me pretty stoked .....

Hmm, I thought that people considered Paradise Lost as the heaviest SyX album. 
Don't really agree about Iconoclast because although it has it's heavy moments, there's also room for the softer SyX side.
