Thanks! I don't know (these pics are taken at my friend's place) but I'd wager money on it being the Necrophagist one.

As promised, pics of my Carvin: http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/sevenstring-guitars/40004-ngd-middle-manning-custom-carvin-56k-these-hi-res.html I can't wait until it's here!

This is easily the best work yet by Ron (and great work by the other chaps too of course)! Such a great album. There isn't a single moment or riff on the album that I dislike, and that's very rare for me in metal these days.

I'll try my best to remember to post some pics here when I get it : )

Hey, that looks pretty cool. Never played a Caparison though. I recently ordered a custom Carvin DC747 (7-string), which I should be getting the first week of November or something. New guitars rule.

I'm still waiting for my copy but it's awesome to hear they pulled it off! I've had the idea myself and tried for a couple of years to make palindromic songs but I gave up because it was way too hard for me. Not a huge surprise that Ron would be able to do it : D

Meh. Brett Garsed is much better than MacAlpine. And Quantum has some of his best playing yet. This should be right up most Planet X fans' alleys: http://www.myspace.com/alexargento

This year, along with most other recent years, sucks for good metal. Last year had one good release: Katatonia. The Planet X album was good, though, and Alex Argento's EGO is actually better. Check that one out, Planet X lovers. But no good metal so far.

Mmmm. I get goosebumps everytime I hear it, and I must've heard it over 500 times by now! Definitely one of my favourite solos.

Well, how about these two? http://www.truechristian.com/img/watchtower-brooklyn.jpg http://www.purdy.info/albums/nyc03/agy.sized.jpg

At whom is your post aimed? I'm having trouble deciphering it. "typical post you too" doesn't really mean anything. Did you mean "typical posts, you two"? "play by the rules of tonality." Who is this directed at? What's "tonal hierarchy"?

Hey Ron, I'm guessing you know who Lale Larson is, right? Ever considered starting a project with him? Yeah yeah, I know, there are probably hundreds of musicians you'd want to do stuff with, but maybe Lale is high on the list? :D For those of you who don't know who he is, he's an outstanding...

Bold statement! Mmm hmm, we shall see. I will return with my findings. Edit: Well, I can't say I was disappointed since I didn't expect much at all (despite your words). The guy definitely has chops indeed, but I wasn't too impressed by the actual solo... I mean, when you've seen Allan...

Ah Swiss. Fragment was the band I was thinking about. Thanks. Isn't Dog Faced Gods American? It matters little...

I can vouch for the whole album being quite varied and it doesn't at all come off as being a Meshuggah clone... Those samples + that full song don't give you the whole picture. Now, if that's Tandjent's shortcoming or not, I can't say... it's not easy picking samples and such to condense an...
