treeduck Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I will say one thing, they seem to have been playing the same guitar solo at least three times on each album and they finally got it right when they did it on Rockin' All Over the World. Took about 6 years to perfect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you resume Paradise Lost one day. Like Testament, they have been pretty fires a HEAVY metal band since In Requiem in 2007. You could start there? That way you skip all the commercial years that I remember turned you off. Oh wow, that feels like ages ago when I went through their discography. I think that was a few years before the pandemic actually. Yeah, that sudden change in their sound was a bit jarring. I've heard good things about their output over the last several albums. So maybe it's time for a revisit. It's always tough, at least for me, to jump into a band that has a big catalog. There's a lot to take in during a short period of time and sometimes I walk away planning to revisit one day and just never get around to doing it again.

Well while I was listening I looked up a Meat Loaf album ranking on Louder and they were saying that Blind Before I Stop was terrible, but I was thinking no way! Blind Before I Stop is a really good album which is mostly consistent. Yeah it's totally '80s-sounding but what do you expect in 1986? The guitarists are all no-name session guys but they kicked ass on that album. I think John Parr was a guest vocalist on there too. I really like Dead Ringer as well, although Meat's voice still seemed to be recovering at that point but it doesn't spoil the album for me. And Bad Attitude is a solid album as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say skip right past the experimental era, because everything right about those albums they used 2007 onwards, so they don't ignore that phase but they get right back to what they do best, increasingly heavier too!

Adding to the talk. i like their experimental era but i DON'T recommend it at all if your looking for harder things. The run i'd album for you is an album Called Faith Death Unites Us. then if you like that I'd personally go too these The Plague Within Medusa Keep in Mind i'm a newer fan. but these 3 i adore.

Mick Those three are brilliant! I'd say these are the "modern era" Transitional: self titled: (personal favourite of mine, it didn't offer any surprises but it did throwback to their Draconian Times heydey) Modern era: In Requiem Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us (possibly my favourite) Tragic Idol The Plague Within Medusa Obsidian (I recommend this album to new listeners because it's such a strong, classic album and it covers the broad spectrum of their sound) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon This would be the magnum opus of many lesser prog bands, but for KC it’s a befuddling stumble. I still quite like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 Dan Fogelberg-The Innocent Age (9/10) Hell of a double album and certainly his most popular work in the states. also technically his peak and i agree. Where do you go from here when every album essentially built to this? Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Live Gonzo is underappreciated. Yeah early Nugent is great stuff. I've been listening to a lot of Meat Loaf lately and on Free-For-All he sings on 5 tracks, and this was the year before Bat Out of Hell was released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
