DEAD SOUL TRIBE - The Dead Word

Its very good, better than their previous one. Still its very tool-ish, but different, has some really deep compositions, many interesting and "new" for the band parts, and again Buddy's voice that melts your heart. Unfortunately it seems that the band wont release something better than "A Murder Of Crows".
 
yeah I was gonna mention that too, they laid off the Tool-isms.. still there, but not the main focus of sound

edit: maybe not the best since the first, I forgot how much I liked Murder of Crows
 
i really liked a murder of crows the first few times i heard it. then i gave the promo away. bought it used a year or two later. it did nothing for me. sold it.

either way it was a pretty decent album. just not my thing any longer.
 
I will say once again that all those who like DST, M-U-S-T check Psychotic Waltz's "Bleeding" (im saying this album because its closer to DST's music than the other PW albums). Its like 2342325646245656 times better than anything DST created, and pretty catchy for its genre.
 
Listened to this album last night....

NAD, this one may interest you somewhat. I agree with IoftheStorm's reference to Tool -- man, this album is like a composite of Tool's Aenima with the vibe of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir", and altogether very middle-eastern/gritty....Murder of Crows on the other hand was a bit more of a polished studio effort. I dunno, this one is more 'earthy' and I bet would interest you a lot.

It does trail off towards the end though, it might have been better if it were an EP.

This disc does contain their best song to date, "To my Beloved".

Amazing - put the words "sweet Mary" into a song and Zod crumbles. :loco:

I bought some Psychotic Waltz at ProgPower, I think I'll check it out soon.
 
I don't think "The Dead Word" is as strong as the last two albums... there are a few standout tracks... and Adel provides some great percussion as always... but a few tracks just don't do it for me. Still... a worthy purchase.

As for Psychotic Waltz... I think "Mosquito" is by far their best album and still sounds fresh today.

I need to revisit PW at some point. At one time, I had their whole catalog on MP3. Not sure if I still do. I recall I spun something up, listened to it with half an ear, and then never listened to it again.
