Adagio or Pagan's Mind?

[scanner313]

I'm trying to decide which band I should get an album from first. Any suggestions? And please, only 1 band and 1 album right now. If I like it I'll buy the rest another time. Thanks.

Adagio - Underworld

-Kronikle

Pagans mind is fairly cookie cutter prog...its good dont get me wrong, but you might find yourself bored of it pritty fast...

Pagan's Mind rules. Listening to them right now actually. Not sure what is meant by "cookie cutter prog", but I chose PM over Adagio. My Underworld cd should come soon though

 

[Jax]

I much prefer Adagio, myself.

I don't really know what "Cookie Cutter Prog" means either, although I would guess he means that it's somewhat generic, repetitious, etc. Don't know for sure. Anyway, due to the majority here (sorry chick!) I think I'll go with Adagio - Underworld first.

Thanks guys!

I agree, although they're pretty good for what they do. I still prefer Adagio.

I think Pagan's Mind has cool music, but the singer is horrid. Did they ever find a replacement guitarist? I heard that the old one had cancer or something like that.

Adagio (Underworld that is) has great music and a great singer.

Adagio. Hands down

Adagio

Fine. I can handle being overruled. I'm used to it anyway :Smug:

 

[Luis]

Adagio by far. Get first "Santus Ignis"

 

[Yngtchie Blacksteen]

I may get the guitarist from Pagan's Mind to play on one of my new songs.

 

[aztattooedsean]

I loved pagan's mind performance at progpower this year:hotjump: :Spin: :Smokin:

 

[metal616]

Adagio for sure. i think Sanctus Ignis is the better album, but it all depends on you.

 

[Snowmaker]

Being that I've never heard Adagio, I'd have to go with Pagan's Mind.

 

[^Und3rgroundAsylum^]

Adagio - Underworld obviously

 

[Metaldrumz]

For me theres no questions about it PAGANS MIND.

I like Adagio but found "Underworld" to be overly "symphonic". The keys IMO are way over the top.

Also IMO the Pagans Mind CD, has just about the best production I've ever heard on a disc courtesy of Frederick Nordstrom.

Some people dont like the singer Nils, because, he is UNIQUE, which IMO adds to the grand scale of the band. Hes distinct, and not a voice you hear on every other CD.

Musically, I think they take the best of Prog Metal, Power Metal, and even Hard Rock, and mix it all together quite nicely.

The CD kicked me so much in the ass, that I became good friends with the band, and opened up the official USA website for them.

Cheers!

I'll cast another vote for Adagio. Cant go wrong with either disc from them it sounds like. I have Sactis and I dig it. Haven't gotten UNderworld as of yet, but from the sounds I have herad it's well worth it too.

I wont even begin to rant on Pagan's Mind. Suffice to say I stated my case on them long ago and I still stand by it. Move along nothing to see there.
