Dream Theater - A View From the Top

Finally gave it a try. Didn't click with me but it needs a few more listens. I did quite like Awaken The Master

I really like it, don't straight up love it the way I do many of my faves, but I'd put it alongside the self titled as an album that really grows on you.

Become one of my all time favorites

Bought this album on artwork alone while crusing the new release wall at the local record store.  One of my best purchases that started the musical journey into metal!

I don't say this is their greatest album by a long shot, but I think it's their masterwork. Seventh Son is very close second, Powerslave third and Number fourth.

I love all 18 tracks on this. Has taken numerous listens, though, to get my head around it all. I could say the same for the 18 tracks on the follow up, too.

Mastodon-Once More Round The Sun (7/10)

 

In listening closer this album has grown on me a ton.  It's amazing how much this sounds like a Blue Oyster Cult Album in tracks ike

 

The Motherload

Once More Round The Sun

Asleep in the Deep

Ember City

Halloween

Tread Lightly

 

and those are my fav Tracks.  but i find a whole bunch of Lesser tracks in it.  Not a fan of Chimes at Midnight.  High Road The grammy song is (of course) the safest song on here but i like it enough.  Aunt Lisa is i'm sorry....bad.  with that lumineers like chant on it at the end.  And the closing track Diamond In the Witch House has so much potential but is utterly ruined by being a scott Kelly feature and lead. And it goes on FOREVER

 

So there's my reasons for being not  my fave and ultimately just an ok album.

Yeah, it took me quite a few spins too.

( Whereas I’d liked their previous album

‘ DoT ‘ fairly instantly )

it was the opposite for me.  Loved View right off.  Still struggling with DoT.  but i like it.  but it's a bit offbeat and i still can't really  get it in focus in my brain.  BUT it was and is a fine album on the whole.  kinda like how i feel about Awake too.

Prince-Contraversy (10/10)

 

I'l get back to rush but i needed a change of pace.  I saw a girl on youtube react to Do Me Baby (i never laughed so hard her poor innocent ears)

 

But it made me reach for this album.

 

Funky 80's gem.

Poor Tipper Gore!   My favorite Prince album, truth be told.

 

Queen - Hot Space, The Works, A Kind of Magic

Frank Zappa - Studio Tan

The Rutles - Archaeology
