What are you listening to?

Well then, they really shouldn't have fucked with "Welcome home", because it's not as good as the album version. But as put them on the map I didn't neccesarly mean being super popular, and all over MTV. I just meant some people would reconignize them for their skills. Because they kick some ass one the cd. Their first one was okay, the second was much better and this one is way better.

Agreed. I loved the groove of the bass and drums and how the guitars almost swirled around what they were doing at times on the first album, the second album I liked better overall, and so far this one's looking to be the best yet. Favorite tracks so far are the two "Apollo" tracks, "Ten Speed" and "The Final Cut".

Melechesh - Of Mercury & Mercury

Sun Caged - Sun Caged

(What Dream Theater could've sounded like after Awake, IMO)

Motley Crue's Red White & Crue.

My father found this double disc at his work and instead of putting it in lost and found, he gave it to me. I said I'll take it. The disc is brand new...lol.

I love Mick Mars' solo on Too Young To Fall In Love.

Petrucci is the man. Lately I've been listening to a lot of his solo work (not Dream Theater) and have started to worship him . His phrasings and technique are so awesome...

Latest Squarepusher EP, Venus No.17

The new Opeth - Ghost Reveries

I like it but it runs periously close to sounding like zep influenced hippy jam band music in a couple of spots (thankfully very brief spots)

Beneath the Mire is a awesome song

Overall I Quite enjoy it Methinks I hear a touch of Matheos in Mikaels playing (especially since they both use PRS guitars....)

I give it a 4.5 out of 5 YES go out and get it

I also picked up this Goth metal band called Leaves Eyes
Sort of a viking influenced mix of Nightwish and Within Temptation

The song writing has a bit too much of the cheesy euro vibe to it (think Abba and Ace of Base) The guitar playing is allmost non-existant.
With a better Producer to tighten up the songs it could have been a excellent CD also using an actual orchestra instead of samples orchestral music would have made a large difference.

I give it a 2.5 out of 5

Mudvayne - Lost and Found

I have only listened to it once
nothing really stuck in my head about it - a couple of the songe have a quasi - Tool vibe (or try to) Nothing really smacked of originality

Its decent but nothing stellar

3 out of 5

To continue my Iron Maiden kick:

Somewhere In Time

\m/

 

[Jerich]

new Flowing Tears and the new Stratovarius.

Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Sigur Ros - ()
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV: Volume I, From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness

...and a one minute sample of one of the new Korn tracks...it's different and interesting. I'm withholding judgement until I hear the full album. I still say Munky was the most interesting and diverse musician, while Head was the opinionated "it all sucks" type who didn't fully care about the music.
