All of those are great but we're stuck with Halo, Creator Has a Mastertape, etc. on the actual albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When every album has bonus tracks what is special about having them? Probably, but if they're not listed and maybe you have to search for them, makes it a bit more interesting. Like Nevermind had that unlisted track way after the album proper was over, or The X-Files soundtrack where you had to hit pause on your cd player and then search backwards to discover the "secret" track. But yeah bonus tracks on every edition of a new album kinda pointless yikes - should have re-read my post before submitting - edited for terrible goofs Edited December 27, 2023 by taurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also my favourite song so far. It has great atmosphere, the song feels like a really rocked up Point Of Entry track to me, as its got a great "let's turn it up whilst driving" feel that that album has.

Yeah it's a bit like a Desert Plains, Heading Out to the Highway, Worth Fighting For, Never the Heroes type of song. The guitar solo is great too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the difference is Jeff Scott Soto isn't involved with this project so they brought in the latest hotshot Dino Jelusick and Mike Portnoy and Billy Sheehan aren't in there either. The main creative forces from SoA (Sherinian and Thal) are there though so the music sounds in the same vein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry1973 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I am loving the 3 new songs. Especially Panic Attack which harkens a bit back to Painkiller in nothing but good ways. A little Tom Sawyer homage in there too me thinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
