Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Blind Guardian- A Night At The Opera This is the most bombastic and OTT metal album I've ever heard. It's the only BG album that is taking me millions of listens to really get into. It's very rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the playing's all right. but i'd rather chill on a nude beach with my arch-rival Dennis Deyoung than to another second of Tate's warbling.'k god those notes go right to my sinus's, lol Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I listened to a bunch of older albums this weekend - Two mid '70s Wishbone Ash albums. Beautiful guitar work on both. The Visitor by Arena. High up in my list of favourite Prog albums. Its been a while since i listened to this. I love Thrasher. Having seen them live a week or so ago, I had to give this a bash! A bit of Renaissance to round things off. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely aren't trying to make it as a nostalgia act, they keep on evolving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Dark Tranquillity- Haven This is the band's and fans least favourite album, but I adore it start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 Toto - Isolation (first time listen) Well it starts off really strong! Track 3 strikes me as a bit less substantial than the first two, and from there it's a mix of great and mid. I can see why it's not considered their peak, but it does have some definite winners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 A couple of new releases by somewhat obscure bands - I just picked up on this band after a review on Progarchives. Very interesting, great vocals and welll worth a listen (I got it on Spotify). Recommended. Church Of The Cosmic Skull have been around for a while but this is their latest release (album #4). An odd mixture of hippy-dippy, 60/70's rock and a wierd cult vibe. Interesting and not without its charm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Blind Guardian- A Night At The Opera Blind Guardian- A Twist In The Myth Twist is regarded as the band's worst album. Whilst I think all their albums are great, I'm especially puzzled as thlo why this album is so looked down upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word is he was a pain to work with David Paitch has said he recorded every song literally line by line. and if you've heard live bootlegs from the tour he could not hack it in concert. and he's been 1 and done in other bands too. Trillion. Le Roux and......i don't like him in those either, lol I love the matieral mostly so it's a shame. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
