I asked for (and actually got) these 2 CD's from my wife:

Evergrey - Recreation Day
Threshold - Hypothetical

I was kind of surprised with Threshold, as this is much more of a straight forward metal album than I was expecting. I had only heard "Light & Space" before getting it. I was expecting something more technical. I have to listen to it more before I can make a judgement. I've only hear the title track and song #1 off the Evergrey CD so far, but I like "Rec. Day" and I liked the first soong as well. It really reminds me of something I've heard before though. Can't put my finger on it yet...

 

[The Yngster]

I love Threshold, truly great songwriting, doesn't need to be technical to be good music

 

[scanner313]

I agree. It doesn't need to be technical to be good. I was just expecting something more technical. I had only heard "Light & Space" and "Falling Away" before getting the album. For some reason I didn't think it would be a traditional metal album. Like I said, I have to hear it again a few times before I can make up my mind on it. I like what I've hear but nothing has sunken in fully yet.

Funny, even my 5 year old daughter loves the song "Light & Space". She especially likes the keyboards at the begging. She calls it the "weird sounding duh, duh, duh part".

 

[The Stormbringer]

I got Threshold´s "Hypothetical" a couple of days before Christmas via Amazon and I like it very much. "Light and Space" is one of the best songs from the album, in my opinion, along with "Oceanbound" (just can´t get that damn chorus outta my head!! ) and the two longtracks "The Ravages of Time" and "Narcissus".

 

[The Yngster]

Ravages of Time is my favorite from Hypothetical

WHO YOU CALLIN BIATCH??? :Shedevil:

Hmmmm, pretty much everyone in this topic. :O

 

[RequiemX]

My relatives seem to have problems finding the music I like, so I asked for like 50 CD's and got 2. Lots of money, though, so I made a few orders to amazon.com, cduniverse.com, and cdbaby.com on Dec 26th.

 

[Demonspell]

I agree with some of the comments about Threshold, they put the emphasis on songwriting and keep the indulgent playing to a minimum. However, I think there are moments that prove their prog credentials, like the title track on Critical Mass.
