    Let's talk about Neurosis albums

    Any Neurosis fans here? I've been playing their A Sun That Never Sets disc on repeat for the past couple of months now. I have never really explored their earlier, more 'classic' material, so I'd appreciate if anyone's willing to share their thoughts on how A Sun That Never Sets compares to the...

    Best Selling Laser's Edge / Sensory discs

    Hey Ken, I was wondering if you mind listing your all-time best selling discs. I'd guess the Riverside debut must have done pretty well but I'd love to hear about other bands, especially Spiral Architect, Zero Hour, etc. Thanks!

    Steel Prophet- Omniscient

    Didn't Mythiasin leave Steel Prophet because he thought their songwriting was boring? http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/rick-mythiasin-steel-prophet-s-songwriting-was-boring/ The two songs posted here are quite a ways behind material on Book of the Dead, Unseen, Dark Hallucinations, etc.

    Jari's rant about Wintersun, Nuclear Blast, and crowdfunding

    This is what one of Jari's fans has posted on his page: Give us your bank account data and we will shove up more money your ass than you can count, I promise! I still think he should fake his own death to break free from his contract. Lol.

    Jari's rant about Wintersun, Nuclear Blast, and crowdfunding

    Indeed. But before they released their album, they took their time to grow and improve from their demo days. I had heard the demos in 2007 or something and fell in love with them. Then, five years later or so, when I heard the album, I was floored. In those five years they obviouosly honed their...

    Jari's rant about Wintersun, Nuclear Blast, and crowdfunding

    Wow, are you serious? Do you have a link for that? Ne Obliviscaris are an amazing band. Good for them. I had no idea Wintersun had such 'loyal' fans willing to support the band. Look at Wintersun's reviews on Amazon. I've never seen so many positive reviews for a band of that calibre before...

    Voivod - Target Earth

    I stupidly put off buying this disc when it came out. I love Voivod, but I don't think they've ever matched the amazing early albums like Dimension Hatross and especially Nothinngface, which is probably an all-time favourite of mine, regardless of genre. I enjoy pretty much everything they've...

    Thanks! This was an excellent, very informative read. Especially the part where Neil talks about coaching the bands along in the studio.

    John Wesley - great hard rock from Porcupine Tree touring guitarist

    The Emperor Falls is my favourite, but I like all of his discs.
