Np Thread (Highly original i know )

When are you drawing for the Iced Earth Comp btw??

...on the 4th Nov. Had a good response - over 100 entries, ie 20% of the Newswire membership! But sadly still no entries for the Godz comp - am I the only person who likes this band???
 
Dream Theater - Train of Thought.

First impressions - probably the heaviest material since 'Awake'; really quite a fat, dirty guitar sound at times, and not much Jordan in evidence on some tracks (he's there, but the keys are blended more with the guitars, or just making plain whacky type noises...!) Some of it is reminding me of a Metallica black album type vibe, albeit with a fair deal more complexity in some of the passages and arrangements.

The instrumental 'Stream Of Consciousness' rocks, and I really lke the last track (In The Name of God) too.

Not quite what I expected; I think it'll take me a while to get my head around it, but I'm sure I'll end up loving it... :)
