Played:


Blue Öyster Cult:  Career of Evil: The Metal Years  (1987)

Sorta bluesrock, I'd say, interesting ..... 


Alter Bridge:  Blackbird  (2007)

Hard rock, very melodic, surpringly good 


Royal Hunt:  Show Me How To Live

First run, seems a bit much "made" music, but let's see ..... 


Good to stretch one's wings

Now listening to:
Anathema - "A Natural Disaster"
4. Are You There?

Just heard Closer for the first time. What a fantastic song! Chilling!

Anathema is quickly becoming one of my favourite bands!

Great Paco! They are indeed really good and a favourite of mine as well! Flying is my favourite song on this album, pure magic.

Anathema - "A Natural Disaster"

It was a stuck-on album with me a few years ago

Played:

Explorers Club:  Age Of Impact

My fave album, so much music 

But nobody here seems to share my excitement

NP  Bupie, if ya wanna hear a really great Royal Hunt song, then here it is, one of my overall faves, a true stuck-on song 

Royal Hunt:  Intervention    www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYzqT_FaU5Y

Give it a few minutes to warm up 

After this, I'm sure you'l know what it's all about with this group

I'm way ahead of you, I bought the album the year it was released

[Teunis]

Airbag - All Rights Removed
Wolverine - Still

[Nicky007]

I'm way ahead of you, I bought the album the year it was released

OK   Hadnt actually heard about it until about a year ago, whereupon I bought it. However, what I was puzzled about was that no other Roomie seems to share my excitement about it 


Played:


Explorers Club:  Raising the Mammoth

Hm   Not as endearing as Age of Impact, to say the least, altho the track Vertebrates is 


Mehuggah:  Catch Thirtythree

Phew, at last I got thru this album in one go. It must count as one of the most unusual albums in my collection, together with Magma's Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh - just the title 


NP  Stealing Axion:  Eventide

www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pEQJqMTIAg

Gonna see these guys at Temple of Doom, Nov 7. Real good stuff, rather special, very atmospheric, guess it's what they call post-metal 

Nicky.

Headspace ~ I Am Anonymous

I really like Damians' singing on this one.
He almost sings like he doesn't care to actually sing on this album.
Unfocused yet strong.
And music wise, it's not the usual type of prog-metal you hear nowadays.

OK   Hadnt actually heard about it until about a year ago, whereupon I bought it. However, what I was puzzled about was that no other Roomie seems to share my excitement about it 

Probably because you read the wrong newspaper.

Played:


Explorers Club:  Raising the Mammoth

Hm   Not as endearing as Age of Impact, to say the least, altho the track Vertebrates is 

At least we share the same favorite track/part.
Two progepics, the second entirely instrumental...
I agree with you that Age of Impact, as a whole album, is more ballanced, yet I must say that I do like the second album as well.
Can't really tell which is my favorite though.

Mehuggah:  Catch Thirtythree

Phew, at last I got thru this album in one go. It must count as one of the most unusual albums in my collection, together with Magma's Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh - just the title 

Nicky.

And now for something completely different!
If you have troubles with this album/band then I wouldn't recommend the Dutch equivalent band Textures.
I personally like them more than Meshuggah, yet I do think that Catch 33 is an excellent album, for that sub-genre.

[Iggy]

Big Big Terrain which is a free CD with a prog magazine.

This months CD has Aeon Zen, Katatonia, The Pineapple Thief and Beardfish on.

JP March of Ghosts, Missa Atrapos and A Night at Lorely by Gazpacho.

[Manatee]

JP: Sylvan - Sceneries                           Album of the Year for me so far (the new Discipline was technically 2011).
     Syncromind Project - Syncronized
     Steve Hackett - Spectral Mornings
     Sugar - Beaster

NP: Anathema - Eternity                        My favorite Anathema, I think, with my favorite song of theirs, Angelica.

[maddox]

Tool ~ Wings for Marie pt I + II

[Nicky007]

Headspace ~ I Am Anonymous

Yup, I like it too (as noted earlier) 

Thanx for introducing, Mad 

Probably because you read the wrong newspaper 

Whoops, you shouldnt have seen my copy of Penthouse 

OK, Mad, tell me yer story 

I do think that Catch 33 is an excellent album, for that sub-genre.

I wouldn't exactly say that I enjoy listening to Catch Thirtythree. I still don't quite get the trick. One track, yes; but a whole album with that stuff ?

Explain, Mad 


NP  I too got a free cd of samples (InsideOut and Century Media, got it at FONA Strøget in Cop) 

Coincidentally it's got two tracks from Moments, the new album of Stealing Axion, two from Monument's new Gnosis, and two from Beardfish's new Void, and some further tracks that don't interest me much.

Coincidentally cuz Stealing Axion and Monuments are two of the groups I'l be seeing live at Temple of Doom 

And Moments, Gnosis, and Void will be my next cd purchases 

Nicky.

[Iggy]

Weather Systems - Anathema

It is fast turning  into my favourite CD of the year.

[PH]

Mine too. I think it's the one I've most listened to this year.

[Iggy]

Wow I just noticed Mad has posted his 7500th post.

[Teunis]

Anathema - Weather Systems
Arena - The Seventh Degree of Separation
DeeExpus - King of Number 33

NP: (the same)

My first play, but I think I like it.  Some songs are more immediately catchy than others for certain, but this grabs me more than the small sampling of Echolyn I'd heard before.

You do? 

I find it great!
Definitely better than their previous album The End is Beautiful.
Especially the epic Islands is breathtaking.
