Origins of Ruin edged out Snowfall for me. Snowfall has some of their best songs ever, but it has more filler than Origins. The new disc is making a strong push for consideration.

I agree. There are a few clunky lyrics, but this is one great release. Concept double album scorecard: Portnoy 1, DT 0.

The early reviews of this release seem to confirm that Portnoy wasn't just blowing smoke when he said this is the best album he's ever been part of.

We don't often get ear candy at PP. It's a fun change of pace every now and then. A half week full of Green Carnation, Ihsahn or Primordial would be overwhelming. Amaranthe is good at what they do, they're entertaining, and they're part of our family. I'll be there for their set with a...

I can certainly appreciate your point of view regarding his preaching. That said, The Grand Experiment doesn't reference religion at all. It's worth a listen.

I hope Jon recovers quickly and fully. Watching JOP perform Streets was truly a magical moment. I'd love for him to be able to provide us with moments like that for years to come.

I've been really digging this disc. It's a sweaty, whiskey drenched bluesy romp.

I'm hopeful Neal makes the trip down from Nashville.

The new Myrath disc dropped today. It is awesome. That is all.

This is a fun little video from musicians representing my two favorite genres...

I look forward to this thread every year. Glenn, and the other members here, point me towards some great music that I've missed. I'd like to mention one disc I haven't seen receive any love from this board: Neal Morse's The Grand Experiment. The 25 minute closing track, Alive Again, is my...

I went to high school with Dave Anderson. Brother Cane still plays the occasional show, but most of his time is spent on Atlanta Rhythm Section, Black Jacket Symphony and solo shows.

I've been giving Serious Black in depth spins over the last several days. I wasn't familiar with much of his work until I listened to Project Arcadia earlier this year. I enjoyed his voice on that disc, but after listening to SB, all I can say is "damn, that guy can sing". I'm looking forward...

Hot damn!!!

I'm really thrilled for Glenn, Jen and all of us fans of PP.
