More seriously, I can see what you mean with "Nightwishy"

Actually, I withdraw that accusation   I was struggling to put my finger on what was familiar about the overall feel of the thing, but last night it came to me.  Much of Time I (especially at the start) reminds me of the "Game of Thrones" theme music.  There, that ain't quite so bad

I would recommend to get Nine first if you don't know it yet cause it's a classic that won't be nearly impossible to top.

And you can also check their live gig in Japan here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjgskpEkmUA

Thanks.  Already got the first three albums, but that video is new to me.  Same performance as the Havoc live bonus disc?

I've never seen or read anything GoT. Only thing I know about it is that there now are three or four Danish actors gambolling about in it (probably playing some Viking type characters with a barbarian accent), and it's set in some gothic frame. Not really my thingy

Pretty bad nightmare you must've had

But Jonesey, maybe you should get past the first track. True, that one's very tinckle-tinckle, but already in the second track you get more kickass than you can keep track of


NP  Five Finger Death Punch:  Got Your Six

Nice and melodic in a creepy way, love that sound, pantheon group. Only minus is that their lyrics seem rather simple. But for that I got my metalcore.

Btw if you guys wanna break habit and listen to some good metalcore, then I can recommend: All That Remains, Lamb of God, Arcane Roots (got that one from Cap), Textures (Dutch), Dillinger Escape Plan, all these pantheon with me, As I Lay Dying, and for the real hardy, Shadows Fall.

Yes, I think so. Glad that you like Havoc, I still have it rated way below Nine, missing some progressive elements and standout tracks but I hope it will grow on me. I already enjoy a lot half of it.

NP Dream Theater - The Astonishing

Well, let's be honest : the more I (try to) listen to this one, the less I hope to see the light at the end of this loooong tunnel ...

I'll have a listen to Enchant's The Great Divide afterwards so I can compare these Ted Leonard's last outputs. I think SB has an edge at the winning spot so far but we'll see how it ends ...

Listening to Dream Theater - "Images And Words" with mom and dad. Neither complaining. Mum's even humming along.

Me too , except not on shuffle

The 80's references are great 

Listened to the Mountain this week and that has really grown on me as well.

I have the physical copy in my hands right now!! (Well, strictly speaking, I just put it aside, because I'm typing that I have it in my hands right now (which isn't really true, because........)).

The artwork is pretty cool actually. And, like I said, I heard a few songs already, and, indeed, the 80's references are great!
