What Are You Listening To?

[Iceni]

Hmm, I was still expecting something better then this. But what is even worser, is that a lot of media marked For the Journey as a great release, I even came across an almost perfect score. Although the thing is, some bigger magazines just get payed by a label like Nuclear Blast to place an add in their zine. And you can't advertise for a record that you criticized very hard. Oh well... Btw, have you heard the new Symphony X track?

I have not heard new Symphony X...I'll definitely have to check that out. You know, now that you mention it I also saw absolutely glowing reviews for it. I'd love to hear whatever they listened to, they made out like it was something on the level of Cloudscape's Crimson Skies, DGM's Momentum, Teramaze's Esoteric Symbolism or Pagan's Mind's Enigmatic Calling where every track was great...

I'm curious about your opinion on it. And true. I recall even a review where someone said the March of Progress pretty much sucked in comparision with For the Journey.

[Natassja]

Well' date=' someone just uploaded the whole album on Youtube. The only track I really like so far, is the third one: An Eternity of Lies.

Thanks I will check it out..still wondering whether to go see them this time.

Let it depend on your opinion on the new album?

I liked the new track but it didn't really stick in my memory all that well. I recall Allen sounding a little more Southern than I'd have liked, but the guitar was good. The funny thing is that it was instantly recognizable as new Symphony X. Apparently they're touring with Overkill and they'll be coming to Silver Spring in Maryland, which is on the Metro system - so I might just try and catch that. Tickets aren't unreasonable, my main worry is being stuck on the Metro after dark.

Also, compared to Iconoclast, they lost some power for sure; especially Allen in his voice. So far, I've seen Symphony X three times and it was really great everytime, so I wouldn't hesitate to go. And how big is the chance you get stuck on the metro?

Lustre - Blossom It's about time to sleep

[BlutAusNerd]

I'd be totally up for that' date=' under the condition that BAN has to comment on each post. [/quote'] As long as "balls" is a valid response.

[Iceni]

Oh no' date=' you might have to take your sunglasses off to find your way around! [/quote'] What, is Ghouly talking sh*t? ...where is she, anyway? She's been gone for ages now... I don't know, I got delayed two hours on one trip (although that was partially my fault for going several stops in the wrong direction). Maybe that was peculiar but it did really shatter that image of impenetrable punctuality that has defined the Metro for me in the past.

[RelentlessOblivion]

I miss Ghouls too the forum just isn't the same without her around NP: Death Angel - Empty

I miss Ghouly being around the forum. She took a big European vacation recently. We haven't talked in a little while though, must get in touch. It's hard for me to think of anything that describes our subway system less than the phrase "impenetrable punctuality", although "impeccable cleanliness" and "easygoing civility" come to mind...

Akelei - Verlangen I don't really like it when the lyrics are in Dutch when you can hear them well, but Akelei is a huge exception. The dutch vocals create such an amazing, hautingly and beautiful atmosphere.

That album was OK, but 'Among the Giants' really stood out.

Well' date=' Homeward Path is their new one, which will be released somewhere next week.[/quote'] I'll have to check that out, the EP they released after the album I listened to was pretty good.

But without any material to compare it to, I think it's a decent record with two great tracks on it. The other songs are ok as well, but not that special. On topic: Autumnal - Don't Leave Me Now Really good cover of this Supertramp song. The solo at the end on this version gives me goosebumps.
