My band Odeum Deus latest single on Spotify! Follow the band, there's gonna be a 10 track record coming next month. Write some imaginative criticism as well as link your material and I'll have a listen too!

Dedicated to the objectively best bass guitar. It's a great looking bass with distinct outlines, pickguard and hook on the head. Whichever color you choose it will be the most beautiful bass you'll ever set your eyes on. Can be made to bite you in the ear with the sound of a ferocious beast or be as smooth as velvet on a baby's ass, very dynamically responsive. I own a fireglo 4003 model myself and it's a blast to play, feeling similar to a Gibson SG guitar (not bass) with a thin straight neck. Anybody else played one?

I don't get how Somewhere in Time is regarded as their best by so many people. The first track is really killer but most of the other songs are let down by the choruses. It's an album of terrible choruses. Heaven Can Wait is a cool live song and Deja-Vu has got good energy going but this one really isn't my favorite. I do like all the songs on Piece of Mind though. Even Sun and Steel I think is kickass. I really enjoy No Prayer For the Dying but Mother Russia is such a drag. This album has got some really unique songwriting, especially for maiden. I haven't heard another band play like this at all. The two last songs are really bland but everything up to that point is raunchy, punch in the face, hose-swinging confidence. The guitar solos are incredible on this record. Then the band took a turn for the worse on the Fear of the Dark album. This one's got a lot of fillers but some people may be into the 90s sound. It's not terrible but lots of filler. Standouts would be Judas Be My Guide (wow), title track and perhaps Afraid To Shoot Strangers but I don't like this record much.

The Haunted, Van Halen, Vader, Death and Bob Dylan I've never enjoyed Slipknot or Korn, tho' I've been pleasantly surprised by a song or two but I'd think it would be safe to call them metal. Or else it will end up like today's politics where everything changes label every other minute. Miscalling will be inevitable in a revolutionary world.

Last year I stumbled upon an Images & Words CD and gave it a couple of spins. I think my problem with Dream Theater is they sound to dreamy and whimsical. The ballads especially are all glitter and elvish handsomeness. The heaviness sounds glued on and it all appears a bit dishonest. Pull Me Under is cool but I can find little else that sounds inspiring. The last track on the album had some cool parts that I think stood out but it's all buried in there somewhere. I'm all for progressive music and I think Tool is a good Prog-Metal band but Dream Theater fails to convince me to like their songs, even with all their pro level musicianship and glittery dust.

Clawfinger would be the most rapmetal I could ever imagine. At least the best and heaviest with attitude.

Sure, at least you gave my case a look on. While we're talking about good Yngwie songs I'll recommend Caught in the Middle, I'll See the Light Tonight and Now Your Ships Are Burned. Won't crowd this tread with videos and stuff. Maybe there is an Yngwie thread somewhere. Another controversial Metal Opinion of mine is that I don't like Painkiller with Judas Priest very much. I've always been into the Defenders of the Faith period. The early mid-80s were the golden age of the band. But their most recent album I like now already from the start. Weird. It's also the same with Iron Maiden's Be Quick and Be Dead. It's got the same kinda vibe and it kinda makes the song a bit boring.

Somebody's got their panties all tangled up it seems. You sure you're not thinking of that other guy who posted that Trilogy Suite thing? That would be a bad representation of what I'm trying to convey but if you actually listened to the songs I was talking about then fair enough.

He's using all the tropes of Power Metal, it'd be pretty nitpicky to not be able to call it that. I could list you a bunch of songs. Already listed two

Their Munich gig with Dio in 77´ is one of the best live records of all time. Cozy Powell's drumming was a very important ingredient. Blackmore seem to have an eye for good drummers.. or good musicians in general. Down to Earth with Graham Bonnet has some really good tunes as well, not just the radio hit.

I'm in no other case a fan of Power Metal and would never listen to Blind Guardian or Running Wild but Yngwie makes that genre work. He's letting out the ugly sounds while others would try to play pretty. Imagine it being a violin and Paganini would play it, dancing on the edge between triumph and disaster. He knows he'll pull it off and could do it with his eyes closed. The instrument would crumble under his fingers, he's playing it to death and he would just take another one. They're disposable, something will have to give way under his uncompromising grasp. The tone is gonna be pulled out of it until it's dry. Listen to the solo in Magic Mirror! Unsurpassed! On the Run Again is a powerhouse. Even his rhythm playing is a marvel of it's own.

Jävligt bra skivomslag! Helt oläsbart black-metal typsnitt \m/ Låtarna är bra också, sången framförallt!

Robes

Yeah, to get the best out of it. Though it would be these: 1. The Ghost of the Navigator 2. Rainmaker 3. No More Lies 4. New Frontier 5. Brave New World 6. The Talisman 7. Isle of Avalon

Well Risk is a walk in the park compared to Super Collider. Risk is bearable all the way through but Super Collider sound, in a way, deliberate. They must have tried making the listener feel uncomfortable. If the first song doesn't make you want to die it's because it reminiscent of Sabbath's Children of the Grave. I dare you to listen to the second track and onward. Frightening stuff. Oh shit, here I am spreading the album I wished to be unheard. Terribly sorry!!

It would actually sound really cool if the rhythm guitar would be audible. I like this raw mix but the guitar must be louder. I think that the vocals could come in sooner but when they finally arrived it was all good!

Hm, alright I suppose you're right
