J2112YYZ Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'm interested in both of you guys thoughts on Edge Of Thorns and what you think of the vocalist change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'm interested in both of you guys thoughts on Edge Of Thorns and what you think of the vocalist change. Played a few songs before my battery died. Thought it sounded great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I think Mick will love Alone You Breathe off of Handful Of Rain. Part of the song has a reprised version of Believe from Streets. The song is very much in the Jim Steinman style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 i just had dinner. but i just now started Edge of Thorns. It sounds just as good Musically. the Singer has just based on the first 2 tracks. i nice deeper tone to him. but he can still belt nicely. The Sound of this album is very reminisent of Images and Words. and it came out in 93 onw year after, lol Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I think one of Segue's musical wet dreams came true today. Within Temptation announced their north American tour and In Flames is the opener. So, have either of you gotten any further into Savatage after last week?

Segue Myles Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Can I be honest? Within Temptation are really losing me with the new stuff. In Flames and them on one setlist though...bloody hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Can I be honest? Within Temptation are really losing me with the new stuff. In Flames and them on one setlist though...bloody hell! Why did their new album get pushed back to a February release? I was looking it up yesterday because I knew it was supposed to be out this month and saw it changed. Very strange as I can't recall something like that happening after a release date has been announced. Now they have the new album out just in time for the tour here. Not giving the fans much time to digest the new material before they see them. As for the new songs, I liked the first two songs they released just fine. Nothing mind blowing but enjoyable at least. That third song I don't know about. Sounds like a left over from Sharon's solo album or something. Savatage, there is a little dip in quality after Edge Of Thorns. Cris Oliva died in a car accident right after that album was released. So his loss is noticable for sure on their next four albums. But there's still some really good stuff on those and certainly worth listening to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's still some really good stuff on those and certainly worth listening to. I liked My Indigo for a couple of listens but the album totally fell off my radar after Nightwish and Alter Bridge side projects/bands came out. My Indigo was an ok album. But we did get two killer Nightwish aide projects:Auri- AuriNorthward- Northward (imagine if Floor fronted Alter Bridge) And of course the two killer Kennedy/Tremonti albums. For some reason the new Within Temptation music sounds desperate. I did love the musoc videos but...no. I will wait for the full album, as I remember hating Hydra for the best part of a year before I finally bought it and now it's possibly in my top three. Savatage are great but I almost overplayed them. Too much too soon...I did that with Dream Theater and I have only myself to blame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savatage are great but I almost overplayed them. Too much too soon...I did that with Dream Theater and I have only myself to blame! I had to look up Northward. Had no idea Floor had a side project going. I will certainly check it out. My Indigo is a solid pop album but it has fallen off my radar too. If it was anyone other than Sharon singing I wouldn't have even given it a chance. I think with Hydra, even though I ended up really liking the album, it's obvious Within Temptation wants major pop acceptance. Not sure why at this point they decided on that but I guess it doesn't really matter. The guest vocalist thing is getting out of hand though and needs to stop. You hearing too much Savatage in short period of time reminds me why I'm hesitant to get into older bands with decent sized catalogs. It can be too much to take on. I'm more likely to check out newer bands with a handful of albums. Seems easier than trying to take on a dozen or more albums at once.

I threw myself headfirst into Sonata Arctica, Leaves Eyes and Iced Earth the last few years and loved it. But now? I have so many bands and huge doscographies I just want to chillax a lil bit haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Guys...please check out Northward. Returned too it this morning and I must say it is a great album from a band that I hope isn't just a one off! I would like more of this Floor on the next Nightwish.

Mr. Not Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Savatage are great but I almost overplayed them. Too much too soon...I did that with Dream Theater and I have only myself to blame! Speaking of.. Have you guys heard the new DT song? I think it's pretty good, but I'm on the bandwagon with the drums being dull. I'm truly missing Mike Portnoy at this point. The entire album was written and and recorded in a short period of time like with Train of Thought - looks like they're taking a completely different approach after The Astonishing's failure. I don't think this album will hold a candle to Train of Thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this album will hold a candle to Train of Thought. I like how the bass and drums are beefed up on the new song but not really much else. Sounds like a fine middle of the album song or a b-side from Dramatic Turn. Not a song that should open a DT album and be the lead single. Vocals aren't mixed well and the chorus is lame with zero hook. They always kick off their albums with something really good. Not sure what happened here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The new song was faceless. Could be anybody, and I hope it's not an album highlight. But regardless, from my experience with DT they have enough good music to forgive the bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I have never been less excited about a release then i am with the New DT. but that's not their fault i haven't been excited about MUSIC recently.

J2112YYZ Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 It's always good to get a break from music. I usually binge watch some shows or my wrestling DVDs when I do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I do think the new song is good, but it doesn't have me enticed either. It seems like a generic outtake from anything written between A Dramatic Turn of Events and The Astonishing, but it's really reminding me of A Dramatic Turn of Events. The second verse is my favorite part of the song (that's 1:43 - 2:52) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 wow i can't make best of lisists in month 2, lol But I loved Soen and DT.

Come on, the chorus on the first track is done in a completely different vocal style than the one on track four lol. When it's a theme or concept album I usually let the sameness slide because the band is trying to convey a certain mood with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
