Good morning/afternoon/evening all;
I've recently become infatuated with Evergrey's music. But let me go back in time a bit....
Two years ago, I heard the song "Rulers of the Mind", thought it kicked total ass, and immediatley set out to purchase the CD it's from, "In Search of Truth".
I was somewhat disappointed. And, looking back, I'm not quite sure why.
All of the elements of what makes a good band are there.....but, for some reason, I just didn't "get it".
So, the disc was relagated to the CD shelf where it collected almost 24 months worth of the dust of time.
Flash-forward to 2004. I learn that Evergrey has just released a new CD.....so, sparked by intrigue, I proceed to check out the record (on display at a local metal CD store). And I LOVE IT!
So, of course, I go back to "In Search of Truth" and give it another spin. Today, it sounds like a totally different record, to me!?!?!?!? All it needed was time.....and the perspective that 2 years can slightly change your perceptions! The album RULES!
Advice needed: which is the next logical EG album to invest in?
Would you say "Recreation Day"? Or, one of the first two releases?
