Alex’s Amazing Arpeggios Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Yesterday and today ( Y&T ! .. think I’ll listen to them tomorrow ) Dream Theater - The Astonishing 2016 (7/10) as much as I love DT .. it’s not one of their best ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex’s Amazing Arpeggios Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Also … - P/G (GUP ) 10/10 ⭐️ I know this is one of their more marmite albums ( Hope people outside the UK know what marmite is ! 🤔🙃) but it was my first ever Rush album and it was also their current release at the time so I STILL love it ! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the entire 1st side. Second side I don't go wild for. Have the album around here in my moving box's someplace. Will pull it out one of these days and give it another listen to. Its been a few years since I listened to it but when I got it back in the day I played it a ton. Truthfully, after this album and Vital Signs I sort of lost track of Survivor. I had no idea they even had any other albums. Your comments about them over the last day or 2 have ignited my interest in checking out their other work. Thanks!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survivor never made a bad album IMO. but my two favs are Vital Signs and When Seconds Count. Thoes are with their 2nd singer Jimi Jamison. If you want a fantastic one with original singer Dave Bickler. Check out Premonition. Mick Edited July 25, 2023 by bluefox4000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Mark Knopfler- Tracker (8/10) Mark solo is weird. if all you've ever heard from him is say the first 3 Dire Straits records. this is jarring. It's almost TOO laid back. but he writes some downright gorgeous music. Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Speaking of Tom Sawyer: Rush- Moving Pictures The older I get the more this looks to be a contender for all time fave. With my love of Lacuna Coil fading somewhat, MP joins The Blackening by Machine Head, Third Eye Blind by Third Eye Blind, Ten by Pearl Jam and Born To Run by Springsteen as a contender for my top spot. Gosh it's just so FLAWLESSSSSS Masterplan- Masterplan Masterplan- Aeronautics Masterplan- Mk II Masterplan are frequently categorised as power metal. I honestly don't agree. To me, they sound like if Alter Bridge came from Europe. The hooks are massive, the vocals are second to none, the playing is exquisite and their is a real classic rock mixed with eighties arena metal stomp to them. I am shocked they are so unknown, they definitely rank as a new favourite of mine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
