    Festival shirt: Input requested

    I honestly have no real preference with heavy vs. light, but I've noticed a lot of folks have mentioned the festival shirts from last year ran really small (I've never been able to wear mine), so that's my #1 concern.

    Riot - Unleash The Fire

    One of the best and most underrated bands on the planet in my opinion. The new album is yet another great Riot record, no question about it. Hard to say exactly how it stacks up against the rest of the discography, but it's certainly pure Riot, no question about it. Todd's voice is great and I...

    PPUSA XV rankings

    This is VERY hard, as I have to say I got at least a substantial bit of enjoyment out of every band I saw, and even the 3 I didn't see much of if at all were only skipped for the sake of my sanity, energy, or plans to eat or meet friends. 01. Seventh Wonder - for me, they totally justified...

    Cheers and Jeers 2014

    Cheers: -FINALLY getting to attend the festival has gotta be #1. Still on the young side - found out about the fest when I was only 14. Couldn't go in High School, couldn't afford to go in college, only just turned 24. All the stars aligned and I finally made good one what many had probably...

    How many albums you dislike can a band release & have you still care about a new CD?

    Yeah, as others have said, it'd mostly dependent upon a combination of how much I like the band, and just how BAD the albums are. There's a huge difference between "Wow, that's bad, what the hell happened?", and "Meh, not bad, but I've heard this before", or "Eh, it has its moments". There...

    Lost in Thought- Opus Arise (essential for the traditional prog fan)

    Absolutely love this disc. Heard 1 or 2 songs at first, and they didn't do much for me, I guess I wasn't in the mood. But about a week ago I was listening to Borealis's "Where We Started" in the BW&BK tracks player, and "Blood Red Diamond" came up next and I absolutely fell in love with it...
