bluefox4000 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 i've had numerous but if you were to ask me what holds the spot right now? YYNot's debut easily. Mick Now the dust has had time to settle, I really agree that A Dying Machine is too long. Tribulation are falling down my list a little. I thought they might. And Myles Kennedy YYNot dominate the top spot. I love the new Ghost and Avatar albums too. Next month we have a new Thrice album and rumour has it we may have new Within Temptation before 2018 is over. Plus the Lacuna Coil live album. ok so my top 5 for the year so far. 1. YYnot2. Year of the Tiger3. Prequelle4. Earthrage (it's by a band called W.E.T. they are Cheesy AOR)5. a Dying Machine (too long.....but the melodies are so damn good) Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a bit too long but it's a concept album so the length doesn't bother me too much. At least it doesn't come close to The Astonishing when it comes to long running time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithrandir Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) it's a bit early to tell atm But if you've already heard Firepower than no it isn't.I have and while it's certainly a top 3 album (so far), the year is still far from over. I agree, when Rush's new album comes out this year, and they have their 2018 tour live album, those will be the top 2At this point, I would rather have a second album from YYNot than a new Rush album if I had to pick between the two. Oh gosh yes. The new YYNot album is better than the last two Rush albums easily.BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That's some funny shit there! Kingdom Come is fantastic. Alas, no other song stands out as all that interesting. Edited August 16, 2018 by Mithrandir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much going on on so many levels. If you ask me, YYNot has taken all the best elements from Rush's entire career, added some cool elements of their own and made a better album than Rush has made in over 30 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbine Freight Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Too early to tell yet.

But these I've heard and these I liked. Edited September 30, 2018 by Mosher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosher Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I love that Maynard's drastic musical departure is dug by me and hated by Entre, just because it shows just how subjective music is. It was difficult to move past the changes, but it worked for me in the end. Also, after all of Segue's 'Best 5' threads I had apick five' mentality. So I should add more later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
