@bruce: Really? It sounds much fresher than the pieces of shit they've been releasing lately. Mangini is no Portnoy granted, but the production and song-writing is very good methinks. Ballads suck ass though. They were never good at that with a couple of exceptions.

Started the new Opeth and Dream Theater this morning. Underwhelmed by the former, the latter's not bad... :sad:


Listening to Opeth now. I kinda feel the same... I'm hoping its a grower. I'm saving the new DT for the car ride to work.

This definately needs more listens to sink in, but I'm really really digging it so far.

I may have exaggerated a bit here. It probably is not a bad album, I'm not saying it is. But let's just say the last DT album I somewhat enjoyed was 6 degrees, and this one does nothing for me. But I will definitely give it another spin. It's DT after all.

EDIT: So far, this is the best thing they've done since ToT.

So fucking good. Welcome back, DT. :wub:

Wintersun - Death and the Healing

This album is a real classic.

Just finished listening to The Old Silver Key album. Not bad, not jaw-dropping, fairly standard metalgaze done well. Needs more listens.

Edit: Can't really see how people could be surprised or even upset by this album given the fact that Opeth already released Damnation.

Too bad, at least it will turn out better than the Opeth album though.

I am taking notes, Steve.

Yeah. It's a really good album. A lot of it is a lot more laid back than I thought it would be, but I'm not complaining. It still has that very Opeth feel to it.
