A friend of mine pointed me to this all instrumental metal band yesterday. How have I never heard of Tosin Abasi before? His guitar work is just incredible.

The Shins - Simple Song

Oh man, I am so glad this band is back. After waiting for FIVE FREAKING YEARS, we're finally getting another album in March. The Shins are the one indie band I really care about (aside from Ugly Casanova, which was just a one-shot deal), and James Mercer is one of the best lyricists of our time - maybe even THE best.

I am almost excited about this coming out as I was for ATWB, and that's saying something.

I love Animals as Leaders. Such incredible musicians.

Image of God by Sacrecy

I'm not sure if I've seen these guys mentioned here before. They are an excellent Christian power/prog metal band.

Alestorm - Death Throes of the Terror Squid

 

[Darknight6606]

OMG I LOVED that song, first alestorm song with black metal elements!

Save me - edguy

Thistle and Weeds - Mumford and Sons

Panic Attack by Dream Theater.

Playing this on Rockband 2 is a blast!

Nightwish - Ghost River

I'm lukewarm on some parts of the new album, but not this song. It's fantastic!

 

[FleshAndBloodTheocracy]

I.....I'm weird about the new album. I really like it, but then some of the individual songs (Rest Calm, Turn Loose the Mermaids) are pretty weak.

The Count of Tuscany by Dream Theater.

 

[SeaStorm]

Because I tend to listen to CDs, I really rarely listen to Wages of Sin (it's buried in my PC as an mp3 and I just never go out of my way to listen to it). Now that Ulterium has uploaded it to YouTube, I've probably listened to it 25 times this morning!

 

[M@RS]

I listened to it 20 or so times the day it was first released. Glad to see that it's on YT now. That's a great song.

Nobody's Home by Kansas.

I disagree with you about Rest Calm. I thought that was one of the highlights. I sort of agree on Turn the Mermaids Loose. I'm guessing I like it more than you, but I don't think it's one of the better tracks.

I think it's a really solid album - their most consistent since Oceanborn. It seems a bit lacking in terms of stand out tracks though. Despite their frustrating inconsistency, that's one thing Once and Dark Passion Play had going for them - several songs that blew me away. The only songs I truly LOVE off Imaginaerum are Ghost River and Slow, Love, Slow, though I do enjoy the rest.

Golden Resurrection - Metal Opus 1 C#m

Man With a Mission turned out to be a major disappointment for me. Other than this song and the bonus tracks, I wasn't impressed by it at all.

 

[FleshAndBloodTheocracy]

My favorites from it are Last Ride of the Day, Song of Myself, The Crow The Owl and the Dove, and Scaretale. I also really enjoyed Ghost River, Storytime, and I Want My Tears Back.

Theocracy - I AM

It's amazing......I have over a thousand plays of ATWB since it was released in November, and yet I'm still not even close to being tired of it.

 

[Follow The Wolves]

The remixed version of the Theocracy Christmas Medley. Somehow I never got to listen to it since last Christmas, so decided to give it a few listens today.
