I Need some New albums

[spawn]

Are you going to buy it or not?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Cut the prog! Get Blaze and Slayer!

 

[Spruce Goose]

I dunno. As I said, I didnt really rate the samples that I heard

 

[Spruce Goose]

You just said get Symphony X. That is prog

 

[Blitzkrieg]

No, I ment don't get ALL prog. Mix it up with a bit of other stuff. ie, Blaze and Slayer.

 

[Spruce Goose]

I just had a listen to some samples from Porcupine Trees In Absetia. I think this one will be a go-er. Sounds good.

Had a listen to MAZE and HOLE IN MY HEAD from Dokken. Dont mind that either. I might start with a best of. The harmonies sound cool

 

[Spruce Goose]

Oooh.... Also wanna get Frameshift's Unweaving the Rainbow

JLB

 

[Spruce Goose]

Ooooh. And I've always wanted to check out that Nightfall in middle Earth album . That any good?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Get earlier Blind Guardian, it's better.

 

[Wenda]

Frameshift!

Spruce, I thought you said you didn't want powermetal But as long as you're asking, Nightfall in Middle Earth is yes, very good Hansi!

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah, I dont want powermetal, but I have wanted to check out NFIME for ages and only just remembered.

So I take it that Frameshift is pretty good? I dont have Vanishing POints first album yet either. Might add that.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Just had a listen to some Vandan Plas samples as well. Sounds promosing. Big riffs

 

[Wenda]

I've only heard bits of Frameshift, but what I've heard is really excellent. I've got it on my own list And ooh. Have you heard any of the upcoming Ayreon? Put that on your list, it's amazing.

In Thought doesn't get me as much as Tangled in Dream...it's good and all, but if I'm in the mood to play a VP album, it's almost always TiD.

Edit: Vanden Plas

 

[Blitzkrieg]

In Thought has a couple of their best songs, but Tangled In Dream is more solid overall, or something.

 

[Sydo]

Had a listen to MAZE and HOLE IN MY HEAD from Dokken. Dont mind that either. I might start with a best of. The harmonies sound cool

There's only one song from Dysfunctional on the best of. And it's not a good one.

 

[Spiff]

Ooh yes, definitely get Snow as well. Awesome album.

 

[Wenda]

Snow

Spruce, I just remembered something else - see if you can find Apocalyptica - Reflections and/or Cult. These are two of the sexiest albums I own. *swoon*

 

[Spruce Goose]

Mmmmmmm....... sexy

I listened to Tangled in Dream last night. That is one fuck off album! It's so good. Never walk away is the shit. I love the crazy drumming at the end, and the way Silvio's vocal lines go off in tangents

Come to think of it, Silvio is fuckin awesome with his vocal lines, the way that he sings the chrorus is different ways towards the ends of songs and adds "Miiiieeieieieieiiiieeennn" Instead of 'Mine'.

VP

[BlindGuardianKill]

Dokken are essential - my favourites Under Lock & Key, Tooth & Nail, Back for the Attack. Also Don Dokken's Up From the Ashes. The rest really are sub par by Dokken standards I think. Disfunctional I think is average when you compare it to the above 3 classics.

Rush. A band of many era's 2112 and Hemespheres are classics! Moving Pictures just as great but more accessible but just as essential. Alex Lifeson's Victor is another nice side step that is worthy.

Other newer things I am listening to that I can recommend.

Pink Cream 69 - Thunderdome
Kansas - device - voice - drum (double live)
TNT - My Religion (another essential hard rock band)
Last Autumn's Dream - (Europe style - well three of em with diff guitarist and singer)
HIM - And Love Said No (greatest hits?) (rock version of Type O Negative)
