What are you listening to?

[asymmetry]

I found Room V a bit boring, indeed. Way much below their standars.

I agree.

 

[Snakelady]

Queensryche - Mindcrime II .........favourite songs .......Hostage, the Hands and Speed of Light

 

[forgottenglory]

yup, FG, you picked the only weak song of that album!

The other ballad, Hands Of Time, is way much better!

I did not pick it. The CD was playing and that song just happened to be on when I posted on this thread!

How very strange...I think Room V is a brilliant record and a very strong release definitely not below their standards...As far as I'm concerned, Shadow Gallery has never let me down.

 

[M.T.]

Right now I'm listening to Spiritual Beggars - Mantra III

 

[LavagesOfTime]

Rage - Speak Of The Dead.

I don't like Smolski's songwriting, that's a fact. Too much thrash metal, even when it's just orchestra! Only heard the suite so far but I'm not thrilled. I want Manni Schimdt back in the band!

Oh, and about Room V: ok, it's the second part of another album, but it's quite odd to put an intrumental, a ballad and then another instrumental at the beginning of an album!

Can't wait for the new Symphony X album, by the way!

To me it's not odd given that Room V tell a story and the story requires the music to be played in that fashion. Also Room V is a continuation of the story which started with Tyranny.

Right now listening to:

Bye Bye Missy - KING DIAMOND

From the frighteningly exciting THEM. Andy LaRocque rocks!

 

[Feel_The_Force]

Skyfire - Dimensions Unseen

 

[asymmetry]

Me too! But I wander what made SX can't record album for almost 2 years ... I'm little solicitous about that!

I didn't hear Mindcrime 2 yet!

 

[LavagesOfTime]

they simply spent a lot of time touring (the Gigantour lasted more than 2 months), plus LePond needed surgery so it forced them to delay it even more. He's ok now, so the album should be ready soon, I hope!

 

[Feel_The_Force]

Symphony X - The Accolade

 

[LavagesOfTime]

Rage - Speak Of The Dead.

couldn't make it to listen to the whole disc. Sounds like they've become a sort of thrash-nu metal band... uke:

 

[Feel_The_Force]

Firewind - Kill To Live

Anyone heard Firewind's new song? Sounds crap to me, loads of random techno crap going on in it. I beleive it is on Century Medias website if you want to hear it.

 

[asymmetry]

Hm .. I caught myself listening DREAM THEATER's Images & Words album last days

 

[forgottenglory]

The Family Ghost (Rough Mix) - KING DIAMOND

Bonus track on the Abigail digipack

 

[forgottenglory]

Hm .. I caught myself listening DREAM THEATER's Images & Words album last days

Nice choice! I prefer the first three albums over a lot of the stuff they released later.

 

[Feel_The_Force]

Equilibrium - random german title which i can't be arsed to type out

 

[asymmetry]

I agree .. that were days of real DT

 

[Feel_The_Force]

Scar Symmetry - Dreaming 24/7

 

[LavagesOfTime]

My girlfriend just discovered Ratt so we listened to them a lot!
