    NEXT TO NONE: Phases

    Max really needs a new band. Or at least a new singer. Suprised that Mike doesn't see it.

    New Dream Theater

    Fantastic CDs as long as you aren't expecting the metal side of DT. Some of the best written "pure songs" that they've ever had with most checking in around 4-5 minutes. Effective choirs, orchestration and even bagpipes and a banjo (or similar country sounding instrument). James sounds great...

    Eternity X - From the Ashes

    To be clear, this is not studio quality. It's good demo quality as opposed to the old demo which was bad demo quality. You can hear clips for yourself at the link. There are studio versions of three songs they recorded in the studio.

    Eternity X - From the Ashes

    15 years later it's out ! I've been listening to the demo that some of us got all those years ago and I've really grown to like it except the sound quality is horrible. With his return to music, Keith has mixed and mastered that demo and it's sounding really solid. It's not a studio...

    Keith Sudano of Eternity X - New CD

    This CD is a grower. It is really, really good. If you like Eternity X and are willing to give a shot to a version that is simpler, not as heavy but still really well written, give this a try. I've been locked in non stop for three days now. If you only like metal I guess you can go...

    Keith Sudano of Eternity X - New CD

    Which is why I said " This isn't The Edge pt. II and it wasn't supposed to be. It's a solo CD ". I'm listening to the real thing right now and it's a very enjoyable listen. No, it's not The Edge but it's the closest thing there is and for those of us who love Keith's songwriting it's close...

    Keith Sudano of Eternity X - New CD

    For those interested, it's available for download from Amazon, itunes, etc, now. It sounds excellent, it doesn't sound self produced. The production actually reminds me of The Edge which had an unusual production in which each instrument was very clearly defined and this is reminiscent of...

    Keith Sudano of Eternity X - New CD

    I know some of you remember The Edge by Eternity X from way back in 1997. It's still my favorite CD of all time. Fans will remember that was the last released CD by Eternity X. The band isn't back - but Keith is; and as he wrote all the songs before, that's close enough for me. This isn't...

    Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy

    You only have to listen to the songs Slash has been involved in to know that he didn't write the melodies, just the guitar riffs. Yes, I am an Axl apologist but the rest of Guns is nothing without him. Axl is Guns n Roses. Personally I love Chinese Democracy; I can't listen to Velvet Revolver...

    Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy

    The whole CD is streaming here : http://www.myspace.com/gunsnroses I think it's amazing but I've listened to almost nothing but Chinese Democracy demos for the last 6+ months so I'm a little biased. Better, Street of Dreams, Sorry, IRS, Prostitute and This I Love are my favorites. To answer...

    Freedom Call - Eternity

    It sounds just like every other Freedom Call CD :) Gamma Ray Lite with a dose of bubble gum. It's really good if you don't mind the light feel. Personally I love Freedom Call . . . with Zimmerman coming over with Gamma Ray it's too bad FC isn't at PP4. The opening track from the new disc...

    Devin Townsend

    I got Terria as my first disc my this guy just because he's playing at ProgPower . . . I guess I need to try again but this thing is HORRIBLE imo. His set will be break time for me. YUCK.
