Mr. Not Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Looking over The Astonishing, even the best songs from that album fall short compared to the good songs of almost every previous album. The only song on there that is truly worthwhile seems to be Gift of Music. Edited September 2, 2016 by Mr. Not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 This album just made Clockwork Angels look even more flat out boring than it already is that is true....... CA is a bloated over praised mess. that without Rush on it. would be ignored here, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 The Octavarium title track is so damn good if you take out Portnoy's parts (Full Circle + Intervals) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...the debut next and I'm complete studio album wise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Nightwish, I had to wade through a lot of style to find the substance. Which is OK as even when it got annoying I kept finding nuggets reeling me back in for more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Listened to both Octavarium & Self-titled today... Now that I've adapted to that snare sound (for the most part), I gotta agree that DT is better than Octavarium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I've adapted to that snare sound (for the most part), I gotta agree that DT is better than Octavarium. like i said i earlier as an album i agree. but that title track trumps the self titled IMO anyway.

Segue Myles Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I honestly think the self titled just replaced Octavarium as my favourite full on melodic DT album. It is a masterpiece. Every song is better as well...aside from These Walls which is honestly pretty much my favourite DT song. And don't ask me why it is I can't answer that haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Also just bought my first Sonata Arctica albums: Ecliptica, Reckoning Night and Unia. These won't be my last! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I used to really get offended when I saw a good amount of dislikes on new Sonata songs (which has been happening since Unia), but now I actually like it. Gonna just copy/paste my comment from the "Closer to an Animal" lyric video where I explain why: I'm glad to see the dislikes, as Frank Zappa would say: it proves that they're doing something right. I'm also glad Old Sonata is gone. The first four albums are still there and you can still listen to them (I enjoy them myself), but let's not rehash the same accessible power metal songs any longer, eh? I'm happy that Tony is continuing on in making new original music. He practically has his own unique brand of progressive metal at this point. Pasi's also done wonders for this band, he's really added a lot of cool riffs into the mix with this newer work. First there was Power Arctica, then there was Prog Arctica.. Now we have Pasi Arctica. 5/5 song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
