Chris Poland discography

[NAD]

So what stuff of his is worth getting? I remember loving that Damn the Machine song they played on Headbanger's Ball way back when, but never picked that one up, and am not familiar with anything else outside of Megadeth. I'm looking to jimbob on this thread since he did a little write-up on Ohm...

It goes without saying Chris Poland rules.

You know, I hunted high and low for Return to Metalopolis, finally managing to buy it on jewGay for a couple of bucks. Listened to it once, put it away. It shall come off the shelves tonight....

I don't care for Damn the Machine; it's too commercial sounding for my liking. Others swear by it.

Ohm rules all. If you like fusion, you'll love it.

I haven't heard his solo discs, but I'd like to. Rare Trax is like $7 at Laser's Edge, so maybe I'll just pick it up sometime.

I'll second the Ohm recommendation...

Having just picked it up this week, I will third the OHM recommendation. Absolutely outstanding stuff.

He is amazing.

I still have Chasing The Sun and Damn The Machine.

They have most of his stuff at Best Buy now.

funny. Well to me it sounds as the total opposition to everything commercial sounding. The album is a prog masterpiece, it needs many many listening sessions to be fully understood. Amazing riff-ing and absolute "constipated" songs that demand time from the listener.

I did listen to Return to Metalopolis that day on post #2, and it has since returned to the archives. Nothing worth wetting your pants over.

Mustaine brings the best out of him.

You obviously need to hear OHM. "Sister Cheryl" is incredible.

Ohm, Chasing the Sun, and Rare Trax are muy mucho goodness. Return to Metalapolis and Damn the Machine are nice, but Ohm and the radio cd rule, except for that geigh radio deejay on the radio live album
