maybe check out some later Asia albums like Silent Nation or Arena. It's basically a completely different band in both sound and lineup so just try to think of it that way. thats when they began to get more proggy

Copeland- Beneath Medicine Tree

 

Simply perfect. I've always loved this album, but I feel its greater now than it was when it came out. Copeland never really won the acclaim they should have, but they have a cult fanbase, and this year's twentieth anniversary tour of this album seems to be getting them a little attention. If you want a combination of soulful, jazzy pop with a dash of Clarity-era Jimmy Eat World, you will love this.

 

Copeland- In Motion 

 

Shame on me for treating this band like a one album wonder! This is another beautiful album, one that has a different, more upbeat tone. Just exquisite. 

 

Copeland are special.

Machine Head- The Blackening 

 

This album continues to blow me away. It's been doing that since 2008. Honestly, people call this the millennial Master Of Puppets. I think that's selling it short: it's vastly superior to that album.

I have been listening to this for the first time the last 30 minutes or so.  It's ok.  Not crazy about the vocal style though.

Nah I just think it is time we started praising post-80s classics with the same level of reverence.

 

I also think Metallica aren't all that. (You can shush you don't like Rush and you're on a Rush forum 😋)

Unreal City - La Crudelta Di Aprile 

Van Der Graaf Generator - Godbluff

King Crimson - Red

[Chronos]

 

Two more listens -- one yesterday and one today -- in an effort to like it more. I can't say I dislike it. Overall, my opinion hasn't budged. 

 

Since I'm a language nerd, I enjoy the Old Norse lyrics in the opening and closing tracks.

Copeland- In Motion

Rush- Clockwork Angels

Metallica- Master Of Puppets

 

You know what my issue with this album is? I can't hear it for the first time again, and remember the impact it once had. Am I cold on this album due to overplaying? Listening to it today,  it occurs to me that this might be the case. Did I ever love it like many metal fans do? No, I didn't. Did I replay Leper Messiah three times this afternoon because I realised what a great song it is? I did.

 

It's a classic for a reason, just not a favourite of mine. I really appreciated that this time.

 

Now playing:

 

Metallica- Ride The Lightning 

 

Okay now see, I've always rated this album super high. Still a massive fan!

[bluefox4000]

Mister Mr.-Welcome to the Real World (7/10)

 

This album would be far better without the mechanical mid 80's production.  One album where the 80's is it's BAD point, lol

 

I prefer Richard's other band Pages FAR more.
