What are you listening to?

I'd say it takes more than a few listens to 'get it' with PNC's music. Although not convoluted as Dream Theater is, the music is still a challenge to listen to. They have unusual arrangements with guitar solos showing up where you'd least expect it. But once you get it, it is very very rewarding. If you want to start with PNC, I would suggest One In A Million, which is my favourite album. If you want to test your sanity listen to Slave To The Mind which was the most challenging for me.

So which one do you recommend to start with? :)

Is it too Prog? I love Prog-Rock and non-excessive Prog-Metal (Threshold :headbang: ), but I actually hate Dream Theatre. So, please enlighten me hehe.

I think I already answered all your questions in the post you quoted! But I'll say it again, because I think PNC is worth it!:)

I would say that Poverty's No Crime play melodic Progressive Metal. Their style is closer to Threshold than Dream Theater. What I like about PNC is their infectious melodies, long but melodic instrumental passages within their songs, unusual arrangements as well as their guitar solos which can appear in the places which you'd least expect them - which all makes for a fantastic listening experience.

I would recommend starting with 'One In A Million' which I think is their masterpiece. You can then work your way in either direction as ALL their albums are really good - just like Threshold! But don't go listening to PNC expecting to find Threshold because despite playing in the same genre, PNC is quite different to Threshold. Would be boring to have two PNCs or two Thresholds, I'm sure you'll agree.

Hope that answered your question.

Thanks a lot! I was a bit tired when I read the previous post sorry, but this explains it better anyhow :) .


Sepultura: Strike

New album seems good, though I prefer Danter XXI (at least for now).
 
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs: Matador

God I love this song! :)

Me dicen el matador me estan buscando
en una fría pension los estoy esperando
agazapado en lo mas oscuro de mi habitacion
fusil en mano, espero mi final

Me dicen el matador de los 100 barrios porteños
no tengo por que tener miedo mis palabras son balas
balas de paz, balas de justicia
soy la voz de los que hicieros callar sin razon
por el solo hecho de pensar distinto, ay Dios
:kickass:
