QFT x 2. Good riddance to Matos (sorry Milt). While I appreciate the music on Holy Land, the vocals are the worst thing about that disc. He doesn't ruin the music for me, he's just the weakest link.

No problems. Believe me, as much as I idolize Matos, I love Angra with Edu as well. It's got a different feeling to it. ToS is their masterpiece without a doubt, but Holy Land is a close second.

The thing with Rebirth is that the band (at least the new members) at the time, hadn't had a big chance to demonstrate their own style and personality. You can definitely tell the difference when you listen to ToS though, especially on Edu's vocals.

The next album will kick some major ass.

As long as the go back to the ToS and Rebirth kinda sound and stay away from what they did on Aurora Consurgens, which only had like 4 really good songs.
 
Temple... is best, but I wish Dennis Ward had guided Edu a bit as his accent is way too strong.

And for those of you unfamiliar with Matos' solo discs (Lucas, WTF??), they both rule!

Lucas really should take advantage of the "Change Forum Name" feature. He hasn't cared about Angra in about 10 years. :lol:

Only one of the Angras shall remain standing around here. :lol:
 
It's interesting to see the diversity on this. I have to say Temple of Shadows. Rebirth has some great songs, but Temple of Shadows just sounds unique while still having the great songs. Rebirth sounds like it could've been done by any power metal band (obviously minus the Brazilian influences in parts of the songs).

What's funny also is how many people ignore Aurora. I just never saw any buzz at all when it was released, or afterwards.
 
I can't stand Matos-era Angra, so Rebirth is really my first Angra CD I liked. ToS is awesome, but I feel Rebirth is superior.

This, more or less. I wouldn't say I "can't stand" Matos-era Angra, I'm warming up to it over time - but I still vastly prefer the Edu Falaschi stuff. These two albums and the Hunters and Prey EP are what Angra's all about for me.

They are both GREAT albums, but I prefer Rebirth by a hair. Not 100% sure why, but that's just how I've always felt.

Thegatheringfan does not have the same ring to it! :p

And I've been Angrafan for the longest time, since the old Sava board... Besides, Angra is not that bad! When they start embarrassing me I will find a new nickname :Saint:
