That PoS news was quite excellent! I first read Remedy Lane remastered and was like "ah, thats kinda cool". Then I read live album of full RL album and was like "omg those vids of them performing RL at PPUSA were amazing and deserves to be released as a live album". Then I read that they were...

Whispered - Metsutan: Songs of the Void Recently got this album as I had a love affair with their last album "Shogunate Macabre", which I knew would be a hard follow up for them match; however, Metsutan is most definately on the same level of calibur. The great thing about his band is that...

Ok, so I have always thought Haken was pretty decent but never got enough into them to obtain any of their stuff; however, I just started listening to 1985 from their new album on youtube and 2 minutes in I am ready to obtain this album! What can I say, I am a sucker for the 1980's synths and...

The new Amorphis IS indeed the best since Skyforger! Anyone else hear it yet?

Awww. There just BABIES in this this!

Everything you have said about Underworld matches with my opinions perfectly. How much you like it overall How it is compared to the last couple of albums How it is compared to the classics What things about it are somewhat bad What things about it are outright bad What things could be...

Its always interesting to see all the old school forumers come out of the woodwork when a new SyX album releases every 4-6 years.

It is indeed the best of their "mainstream" albums. I feel like it is the album they chose to bring back some of their older elements for the older fans, yet not stray too far from what they have been doing since PL so they don't lose out on the bigger crowds they get at shows. Basically they...

On the not of Pinnella and the keyboard on this album I feel that they were more prominent overall. Maybe you could argue they were there as much on the last two albums; however, there were not really any defining moments of them and what WAS there seemed to be easy to not notice due to the...

My only real gripe with the album, besides the fact it isn't a truly experimental work of progpower art like V (which we all should have accepted it wouldn't be once they announced the first album details), is that I find In My Darkest Hour and Run With The Devil bog the album down for me. It...

I am getting more and more impressed by Kiss of Fire. The more I hear it the more I am taking note of Russell doing the high screech's that remind me of something like Iron Maiden or Priest. I also really like the way they used the choir/orchestral patches to give it a more dark/gothic kind of...

Ugh, I don't know why I haven't received my order from NB yet...? When I check my order status it just says "in process" or "processing" or something like that.

@Aso I really think you got your expectations for this album too high. I have come to accept that the only chance we will ever get a "great" or "legendary" SyX album again will be when they get old enough to not need the more mainstream appeal (money). But due to all of this SyX to me has...

On the topic of lyrics. We all know SyX lyrics have never been very deep or anything; however, I felt that with Iconoclast (and PL a bit too) they got tremendously bad and cringe worthy. I actually didn't feel like Underworlds lyrics were too bad. I would say they were on par with albums such...
