You can really judge a band's progressiveness by the way they regard their early material. Rush, Queensryche, Fates Warning, and Savatage, all share an indifference towards their "Prog metal" albums (2112, The Warning, Awaken the Guardian, Hall of the Mountain King) even though they are...

I was thinking more along the lines of it being a prequel to Night on Brocken.

The Nuclear Blast website describes Inner Ascendence as sounding like "the beginnings of Fates Warning". Is there any truth to this?

Apparently Joey Taffola wants a ridiculous ammount of $ for it, which I just don't get. I have the Metal Blade version now so it doesn't make much difference to me.

Check out some of these lesser known bands if you haven't already: Black Majesty ShadowKeep Jacob's Dream Crimson Glory

It has 3 bonus tracks (demos of Black, Future Shock, and Ready to Strike) as well as photos and liner notes from Mark. As for the sound I didn't notice any difference from the original, but it didn't really need improvement anyways.

Ayone get the new FJ reissue?. I'm glad to see it since it is a classic JP album, and worth the purchase just for the cover alone. Will we see any further reissues, and if not, why this album only?

I just bought the Tyrants EP, completing my JP collection.

John Greely was awesome on Night of the Stormrider.

On Agent Steel's Skeptics Apocalypse album there's a song called 144,000 gone. At about 2:50 in, John Cyriis hits a note that's so high it can shatter glass.

I finally found a copy of Continuum on ebay for $30. A solid EP, it really deserves to get re-released. Steve mentioned poor production, but I didn't think it was half bad.

I Consider Geoff Tate/Queensryche EP to be the best vocal performance I've ever heard on any record, but he's anything but metal now.

here's my list: 1.Eidolon-the parallel otherworld ...that is the only album of last year worth mentioning

I just bought the Metal Blade version for $30 on ebay. :kickass:

I always prefered Sanctuary
