I'm really getting into that Altered Aeon disc you gave me, Mike. Why are all the solos mixed so low, though?

I dunno - I've heard several mixes like that recently. I like the disc a lot, though, and the solo work is excellent, even if it's not right out front...

I've been listening to "In Search of Truth" a lot lately. Man, what a great disc...

Having said that, I'm about to fire up some Byzantine.

What did you think of the Scar Symmetry?

Got the new iPod loaded with all of the "A" CD's I own and listening in alphabetical order, right now I'm up to:
Anthrax - Sound of White Noise

 

[Oogadee Boogadee]

i'm about to stock up on more Evergrey.

My first impression of Scar Symmetry, if I'm recalling the right band (been hearing a lot of new stuff (for me) recently), was that they could play, they solo a lot, but they do the growling too much. But maybe i just wasn't ready for it. Regardless, it's only received one listen b/c it's in the wrong car, which is garaged at the VRE at the time being.... it'll get more play on the way to BWI this weekend.

Over all though, my recent taste in music has really tired for the growling/clean combo, and I really want to keep the growling to death and extreme metal for me. Right now, I'm really into bands that are heavy as shit, but with completely clean vocals - like Nevermore, Evergrey, etc.

 

[jaimek]

James - the folks that listen to much heavier stuff seem to like "The Dark Discovery" the best from Evergrey. It's a little doomier than any of their other albums (though still with clean vocals).

They have a new CD coming out in April. With any luck they'll finally get back to the States to promote the damn thing. I miss those meatballs. (shut up!)

 

[NickDivision]

Just brought out Streets since I hadn't heard the whole disc in a long time. Brings back some crazy memories.

 

[profusion]

Evergrey's "The Inner Circle" was in my cd player a lot there for awhile. Hmm, maybe I should break it out again.

Stride's "Imagine", courtesy of Mr. Luther. Merry X-mas to me!

I pulled out "Rust in Peace" for the drive in this morning, because I hadn't listened to it in a while. I keep forgetting what a brilliant album that is.

 

[jaimek]

That's a great disc, Mike.

I'm presently fighting with my iPod. I got a brand-new replacement for my used one that was having battery issues, and this one isn't behaving either. Very frustrating. I'm going to try reformatting it when I get home from work.

In the meantime, I'm TRYING to listen to Depeche Mode - "Precious." I dl'd the CD and played it so often that I bought it the other day when I found it for 30% off at Media Play in Raaachester.

 

[eaeolian]

Now I've moved on to Biomechanical's "Empire of the Worlds". Awesome stuff.

I dunno. I got mine from their manager in a CD trade.

You can get it here or here.
