Can I start a thread about Gamma Ray's Majestic?

[JayKeeley]

HOLY THUNDERFORCE!

Put aside all the usual responses to random power metal bands, but has anyone given the latest Ramma Gay album a chance?

I liked it on the first couple of listens, but on about the 5th go I was really blown away. This is smokin' !

The riffs are just speed metal blitkrieg and the songs themselves rule. I've always liked Gamma Ray a lot, now I feel bad for not having listened to them in a while. This makes me want to love them all over again, and pet them and call them george.

They have a NY show coming up and I wanna go!

Why ask the question, if you're just going to proceed anyway?

I'll answer: No, you may not start a thread about Gamma Ray's Majestic.

Just the name makes me want to brokeback all over myself.

What makes straight guys want to listen to gay vocals?

I think they took the time to write stronger material this time...

As much crap as people like JayKeeley have given me about listening to anything remotely "core", I have to take every opportunity I can to make fun of something remotely "power".

Yeah, but the difference is, this is good!! But yes, you do have to be a fan of heavy metal to like it.
