Segue Myles Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 Symphony X- Symphony X This was a bold and ambitious debut! Not altogether brilliant, but I liked it today better than I remembered. Symphony X- The Damnation Game Very similar to the debut, but more accomplished. Again, not mind-blowingly brilliant, but I enjoyed it. 2
Segue Myles Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 Symphony X- The Divine Wings Of Tragedy Still a flawless album. Probably the SX album I am most familiar with (it's between this and Paradise Lost). 2

I can definitely see the similarity in Moore and Delps voices 1
Segue Myles Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 Symphony X- Twilight In Olympus I've never enjoyed this band so much before! Prog and power metal excellence, I really loved this album. Has an early Rhapsody meets Dream Theater feel. 1
TheAccountant Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 Dreamtale - Epsilon The first album from this group (Everlasting Flame) had a Helloween vibe. This much less so. I liked the first album. This one was eh, ok. Sort of. Basically filler. Not likely to listen to this album again.
Segue Myles Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 Killing Joke- Night Time Now I hadn't thought about KJ in a very long time. This is a haunting album, but also incredibly catchy. Didn't see it coming, but I might just be on the verge of a KJ marathon! 1
TheAccountant Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 Dreamtale - World Changed Forever This album was sort of ok. I guess. Nothing I am going to listen to again. Will try one more album from this group and see what I get. If its a dog then I will just assume that they had the one decent album (Everlasting Flame) and otherwise are not much. Then will try something else.
TheAccountant Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 Dreamtale - Beyond Realty Well, I am glad I gave this one a shot. Sort of standard hard rock / power metal but decent. Nothing I am really going wild for, but decent. Will give another album from this group a try.

Since you're on a power metal binge right now, have you ever listened to Sabaton? They're pretty much the kings of the genre currently.

zepphead Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) The new Haken album. I've listened to this a few times over the weekend - I am liking it a lot! Edited March 6, 2023 by zepphead 1
zepphead Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 Scissorgames by Ghost Of The Machine. Pretty decent prog rock debut album by UK band formed last year.
Segue Myles Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Mariah Carey- Butterfly I know everyone here is into prog, rock, metal etc, but the complexity of the vocals, melodic lines, harmonies, blend of singer songwriter/rnb/hip hop as well as truly subtle, soft and lush songwriting choices makes this a truly beautiful listening experience. People talk about her high notes and belting, but much of this record is in her lower register, which is I think even more impressive. The Roof is one of the most atmospheric and sensual songs I have ever heard. My All is possibly my favourite ballad of all time, and for a genre that is not always taken seriously, this whole album is a layered work of art. Edited March 6, 2023 by Segue Myles 2
