What you're asking for is my specialty. Here's some more recent stuff I've enjoyed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUmLtisUD8k&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MjMehaEtxI&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5lZbN9zBe0&feature=related Though...

Not for me at all. The only member I wasn't attached to before is Dan Swano, and even him I really like on the new one. Everyone else I was already a big fan of. Russell isn't even my favorite person involved, that would be Arjen himself. If anything I could be accused of being an Arjen fanboy...

Check out the new band Anthriel, they definitely remind me of SX:

I love the album. 24 Hours is actually one of my favorites though, especially the chorus. Don't see the problem there at all. There really isn't a song I don't love on the album.

^Yeah, I've heard it six times already, and it's really awesome. One of my favorites by Arjen, and that's saying a lot.

Nice, that release date is about what I expected, and it's less than two months away, so I can wait. I doubt it'll disappoint. Also, considering we've heard Alley Cat I could go without anything else until then, though a full song is the best bet, and teasing any part of the 30 minute song would...

Yeah, I heard that song a few days ago and I thought it was fantastic. Looks like Arjen will deliver another great album, possibly better than the first one, which was already really good. The chorus in particular is fantastic, but the only thing I don't like is Dan Swano, he just sings way too...

^I've heard Sitra Ahra 10 times now, and I can say it's both my album of the year and probably my favorite album by Therion, it's that good. It pretty much feels like a collection of everything I love about the band thrown together into one epic album. Sorry to hear you didn't like it.

^Actually, I really enjoyed the new Soilwork album as well, I'd give it an 8/10, good stuff.

The long wait will be worth it as long as the band delivers another great album, which will almost certainly happen. Now, if the album turns out to be a disappointment, then you can complain, but seeing as that's unlikely.... Seriously, making an album takes time.

Out of the albums mentioned already, here's how I'd rate them: BG:ATeoT:9/10(Excellent album, their best since Imaginations for sure) Kamelot:PFtP:2.5/10(Garbage, far worse than Ghost Opera, and that was a step down at the time) Angra Aqua:6/10(Decent album, though very forgettable, not as good...

I agree a lot with the last post:Once I got about halfway through the album I realized I was listening to something truly special, and I knew there wasn't going to be a single letdown, the songwriting had just been too good throughout, I knew there would be no weak songs, and I was right. Not...

Wow, damn. This is shocking news indeed. I sometimes think I have a curse that causes bad things to happen with bands I like(and with other things outside of music), and between this and Roy Khan being sick, things are only getting worse for me. This is terrible, and I'm really not sure if I...

So much fail in this topic. Floor's great, but I generally don't think Arjen does a very good job with her. My House On Mars was a complete waste of her talent, and while she sounded good on Star One, it was far from her best effort. The only time I was impressed with her on an Arjen project was...

Vanden Plas is good, but I never really noticed a similarity to SX. And yeah, I'm totally pumped up for new Star One, Arjen, Russell, and Floor are three of my favorite people in Metal, and I think I prefer the direction this new one is going in, much darker and heavier. Though the name is...
