Mick It's just perfect to me. I don't know if it's my favorite AOR record, I don't know if it's "better" than a couple all time classics, but I wouldn't change a note. 1
bluefox4000 Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 Toto-IV (8/10) Now here's an AOR album i don't quite get the mass love of i rotate between a 7 and an 8 i settled on an 8 cause i feel mellow tonight but honestly? one of my least fav AOR records ever, lol the hits are good to very good....the album tracks are fine enough to just being.....there. and i NEVER liked africa one bit.

treeduck Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 Well? What do you think of it?It's very good, lots of interesting ideas, little bit of classical in certain interlude tunes, as you'd expect. The singer is good, not as good as Russ but who is these days? Lots of killer guitar solos, overall I think it's better than the previous one slightly. a nice slab of prog metal. 1

Mick For me this is a top five Toto album, but I get it! The album I go back and forth on the most from Toto is Hydra
Segue Myles Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 Blind Guardian- Battalions Of Fear (7/10) So far this is my least favourite BG album, but holy f**k it's still bursting with creativity and brilliance! I love it, in spite of the flat production, the lack of symphonic elements that caught my ear on layer albums. The Maiden worship is evident, but I also hear a lot of Mekong Delta (also German) and Metallica in their sound.

Segue Myles Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 Blind Guardian- Imaginations From The Other Side (10/10) Where has this band been my whole life??? 1
Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 26, 2022 Author Posted March 26, 2022 So far today I've only listened to the first disc of this, which honestly is perhaps the most personal and emotionally charged album in the Foos discography. The playing, especially on the opening 1-2-3 punch of In Your Honor, No Way Back, and Best Of You... is intense. It's real. 4
bluefox4000 Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Phil Collins-But Seriously (9/10) i made a playlist of the LP version on my computer. This version has 2 less songs and a different track order. i think i prefer the LP version. Great Album Mick 4
