I'm mostly familiar with Equinox up to Edge Of The Century, and I've heard the last two as well. That's more than enough to rate this band highly. I'd recommend Styx II and that's it really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styx took SO Long to really fid footing, lol Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styx took SO Long to really fid footing, lol Mick I think Styx leads nicely into Equinox/Crystal Ball. I actually think of all the pre-TGI albums, it's my favourite. Those early albums are definitely fun listens, but not necessarily for good reasons 🤣 except for this one, which I find sits really oddly amongst the rest. A Day is my personal favourite Styx song. I'm partial to them but they are quite bad 🤣 Edited December 10, 2022 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 In Flames- Battles In Flames- I, The Mask When Battles came out, I absolutely loved it, and it brought me back to In Flames in a huge way. Now? Eek, I kinda don't know how I feel about it. It's like a metalcore My Chemical Romance and I'm really not sure that's anything anyone ever asked for. I, The Mask is better. Really fond of it. It's close to Battles but has a more metal flavour. The singles for the upcoming album are super promising. But the latest one, Foregone pt II, has me a tiny bit concerned it will be a third album of roughly the same thing. I'd be okay if it was three albums worth of Come Clarity, but it's not 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Beach Boys-Pet Sounds i'm notgonna score it cause i really don't like this record so not fair, lol is it influential? yes. but i'm tired of respecting those points but i acknowledge that their true.....god it's just boring. it really just sounds like a lower tier 60's movie soudtrack.......and that's it.

TheAccountant Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Finally back to pulling more albums out from the moving box's. Had not been able to do so for a few days between work and going to PT. So now I have pulled out and listened to: Skid Row - Skid Row I always thought this was the only decent Skid Row album. Back in the day I thought it had a bunch of good songs and that feeling has not changed. Decent songs, not really great. The best, far and away, IMO is I Remember You. Yes, a lot of folks may not like it but I still crank it up. Back in the day I enjoyed blasting it and I still do. Good song. Decent album with one really good song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Bruce Dickinson - Tattooed Millionaire. Why this album was not a huge success has always puzzled me. I remember some of the songs got some airplay but they should have gotten a lot more airplay then they received. Side one is loaded with very strong songs. I really enjoy Son Of A Gun, Tattooed Millionaire, Born in 58, Hell on Wheels & Gypsy Road. Every song on that side of the album is very good. Side 2 does not do a lot for me but side 1 - wow. I just can't understand why it was not a huge hit of an album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 The Who - Who-La-Hoop Never heard of the album? Its a live Who show from Philly in 1980. Not officially released by the band however (chuckle). Ok so its not Keith Moon era Who. But its still live Who from only slightly past their Moon years. Whats not to like? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Next out of the moving box: Triumph - Classics A Triumph greatest hits album. Edited December 11, 2022 by TheAccountant 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Triumph - Surveillance Their last album with Rik Emmett and sadly I don't believe they ever toured to support it. Its got a few very good songs (Prologue: Into The Forever, Never Say Never, All The Kings Horses, Carry On The Flame & Long Time Gone). I esp. like Carry On The Flame & Long Time Gone. Other than the song I mentioned however I don't really care for the rest of the album. Still, would have really liked to have seen them tour and support the album. Seeing those songs live would have been cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I listened to a wide range of music last night: In Flames- Clayman In Flames- Reroute To Remain In Flames- Soundtrack To Your Escape In Flames- Come Clarity Now I think their early death metal run was absolutely amazing. But this album streak (known as their second era) is my favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 System Of A Down- Toxicity Still love this album. Amazing band, I need to explore them more. Machine Head- The Burning Red Very patchy, I still enjoy this album. The best of their worst albums (and the only one of the three I can play in full). Though their are songs that tempt me to hit the skip button. Korn- Follow The Leader I really enjoyed this album today. I'm not sure how to feel about that. Disgusted in myself? Is that the right reaction? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
