Genre: Prog-tinged pop-metal
Recommended If You Like: Extreme, 80s Whitesnake, Skid Row, Poison and Motley Crue etc if they were all way better, intelligent songwriting....and SICK guitar work
Sample Song: Rainbow In The Rose

Not enough people like Winger. They have such a poor reputation, but in my opinion they were easily the best 'hair' band. Surprisingly heavy in places, catchy all the time, amazing musicianship... and Reb Beach slaying on guitar. Over five full albums they have hardly done a bad song.
This song is slightly ballad-y and not as groovy and party as they often were - but has some sweet melodies and key change shit going on.

Artist: Extol
Album : Undeceived
Year : 2000
Genre : Metal (technical thrashy downtuned heavy awesomeness)
Sounds Like : Actually this is one of the only bands that sounds like themselves, I don't know any others like this. And every album sounds RIDICULOUSLY different from the others. They have another asskicker of an album called "Synergy" with some of the strangest, wacked out riffs I've ever heard. Love this band.
So far ahead of it's time that it's almost almost hard to comprehend.
Shitty audio quality in the vid but the album rips your face off.
Also glad to see Karnivool and Dead Letter Circus getting mentioned early on. Fucking incredible bands.

Nice to see someone stand up for Soilent Green's Sewn Mouth Secrets AND Acid Bath, but that was essential listening in places I lived (southern WV). Deadboy's first is essential too. And Talk Talk were a great band and aeons ahead of their time (I still can't take most post-rock though).
Winger's In the Heart of the Young? Argh. I liked that when I was nine. I'm still ashame to admit it

That's the Irish in ya coming out: "If it sounds like shit - then it's real metal!"
Unfortunately, too many Irish bands actually believe this...

Aye, the Irish lads tend to be fairly rough-around-the-edges.
There's a few bands knocking around with good production, just it's not the ludicriously slick hyper edited plastic-wrapped kind of "good" production you tend to get elsewhere.

Gah, why the fuck does Namthangathron or whatever he calls himself sing like that? It's unique, I'll give it that.
Also can't help but laugh at the drums in that 3 minute long intro...slow slow slow reallyfuckingsuperfastfill slow slow slow ohfuckhowmanytimescanihitthetomsinonemeasure slow slow slow latherrinserepeatjustheardthisfill slow slow slow...

This album is amazing. I remember how i just had to get this when i saw this album at a store. And that's a feeling i don't generally get. It never gets old. And have you seen their live show? The singer is hangin upside-down from the metal frames of the stage while maintaining a perfect pitch. Insane. And his vocal performance is outstanding. Soft singing, tight singing, falsetto, growling and throat singing. And all in the same song by the same man. (plus his interesting hand-vibrato stuff)
