It kills me, I have to deal with some awful things. Two suicides this week within my area, plus I walked in on a child who had hurt themselves so bad the ambulance was nearly too late. It makes music mean THAT MUCH MORE to me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronos Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 One of my Top Ten albums of all time. I play it no more than twice a year because I don't want to wear it out. I waited 'til The Lovely Wife went off to work, poured a nice bourbon, installed myself on the couch, and drifted off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just as you say, a lot of it is forgettable and underwhelming. Perfect example of a follow-up album done wrong Interesting that you mentioned it was a follow up album. What makes it interesting was that I was working from home again and pulled more albums out of the moving box to listen to and first out was: Asia - Asia Like Alpha, Carl Palmer and Steve Howe get none of the song writing credit. Again, if they had been involved perhaps it would be a better album. It has the excellent "Heat of the Moment" plus "Only Time Will Tell" & "Sole Survivor" (both of which are good). Other the than that I found it to be better than Alpha but really nothing special. Sort of a better forgettable. Of Asia's songs I would say I like "Heat of the Moment" the most, followed closely by "Don't Cry" and "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes". After that its a reasonable drop off for me before you get "Only Time Will Tell" and then "Sole Survivor". Then its a fairly large drop off to the forgettable stuff. Even so, glad I pulled these out to listen to. Next out of the box: Toto - Toto This I must have bought used in the early 90's as it still has a price sticker of $1 on it. The album came out in 1978 and other than the excellent "Hold The Line" it sounds like it came out in the 1970's - and I don't mean that in a good way. Basically a real dud IMO. Next out of the box: The Moody Blue - Days of Future Passed Another used album (still has a sticker of of $3.99 on it) that I got in the early 90's. It has the classics "Tuesday Afternoon" and "Nights in White Satin" on it. Beyond those 2, I enjoyed the rest of the album. Its a classic that has stood the test of time (IMO). Last out of the box: Nightwish - Endless Forms Most Beautiful Yes, its on vinyl and no, I obviously did not get this one in the early 90's (LOL). I bought it at the show when I saw them in NYC (along with Delain & Sabaton) on the opening night of the Endless Forms Most Beautiful tour. Its just a wonderful album. I esp. like "Elan", "My Walden" & "Edema Ruh". That being said, "Alpenglow", the title track, "Shudder Before The Beautiful" & "Weak Fantasy" are all enjoyable. Is it as good as say, Century Child? Not close. But its still wonderful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing this, I played it this morning and it's beautiful, very relaxing and absorbing! One of the best albums I've heard in a while to be honest, hypnotic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Drastic Symphonies - Def Leppard. You know something? If you're in the mood for Def Leppard, but not in the mood for hard rock, these are a good listen. If you don't like the band, this won't change your mind. The Emm Gryner collaboration on Pour Some Sugar on Me is catching some flak, because the lyrics are incongruous with the vibe, but I really like her performance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About as perfect of a record as you can ask for, especially as far as alternative is concerned. I play it on airplanes a lot; Cherub Rock is perfect take-off music.
