Demons & Wizards - Touched by the Crimson King

Its merely an above average album, but I just had to pwn it for the uber-awesome packaging.

It's a great album, but the regular version isn't long enough. The cover and the slow version of "Wicked Witch" should have been the bonus tracks, "Spacial Architects" and "Lunar Lament" should have been part of the standard album since those tracks are awesome and round the album out well.

Luca Turilli's Dreamquest - Lost Horizons
Cellador - Enter Deception

My HMV was selling Cellador for only 14.99 brand new, not bad considering I usually pay like 22-24 plus tax for an album. So I bought it since I liked the single.. The rest better be good or your mine NESS!! :evil:

Oh it is. I put that on Buncrostunts (I can't remember how to spell his name).

I like it, after 3 listens I would give it like 80/100, maybe a few points higher, but low 80s range anyhow.

And its spelled Bunkrostunts, get it right or taste the crotch.

I like the album to. But i find the slow songs to be far better then the fast ones. Love's Tragedy Asunder and Dorian are great songs that would find a place on Any IE or BG CDs.

Yes! Its great to hear Hansi just singing and not being part of a giant choir. Wicked Witch and Down Where I Am are incredible.

Well, I don't mind the slow songs at all, but one bonus track is a slow version of "Wicked Witch." A slow version? Hehehe. The regular version is slow. I was just saying that "Immigrent Song" should have been a bonus track—like "White Room" was on the debut—along with the slow version of "White Witch" and the pointless edit of "Beneath The Waves." "Spacial Architects" and "Lunar Lament" are just too good to be bonus tracks only.

"Love's Tragedy Asunder" and "Dorian" are my favorite tracks on the album, by the way.

Today I bought:

Luca Turilli - The Infinite Wonders Of Creation (2CD w/Bonus Tracks)
Luca Turilli - Dreamquest: Lost Horizon (w/Bonus Tracks)

First, I'm fucking shocked they had these around here, especially with bonus tracks and for $9.99 each! :shock: Second, I really liked Dreamquest when I first heard it, it's really good, I wasn't impressed much with The Infinite Wonders Of Creation, but today I'm totally diggin' it. VERY different from his other two solo albums, but for some reason today I'm really enjoying it.

Elvenking - The Winter Wake (w/out Bonus Track that should be on it!)
Gamma Ray - No World Order
Time Symmetry - Fate In Grey

Chinchilla - The Last Millenium[/quote]

Like the Royo artwork on that one. I went thru a phase of buying all rock/metal with Royo art? IS something wrong with me?

I hear the madness album has a kickass ballad, but that is the one album by them I do not have yet.

You found these in the USA??
Where. I am having enuff trouble finding them off the internet at a reasonable price. The only place so far was cduniverse. Theend, centurymedia, not many other big ones still dont have them at least not under 20$ :(

I am sure I will like his work regardless of the critcism i have been hearing. Fans will be Fans I guess.

Yes! I was shocked. Actually, I was more shocked at the price because Prophets Of The Last Eclipse is easy to find around here, I've seen it in the stores. Anyway, I got both of them at Newbury Comics. If you're interested, I can check the prices again and pick them up for you if you want (your treat, of course :wink:

).

The thing is, there is a female vocalist on both CDs. It's very different from his first two solo albums, and this is supposed to be a trilogy of sorts, right? It just threw people off, myself included. Both are damn good, though. Just listen with no expectations!

Anyway, I just got back from Boston, no much selection today but I managed 10 CDs:

Eldritch - Neighborhell
Warning SF - Aftermath (w/Bonus Tracks)

Apparently the change in sound came about because Alex Staropoli was pretty pissed at Luca for releasing two albums that basically sounded just like Rhapsody under his own name.

Luca mentioned it on one of his websites...maybe on the FAQ section of the forum? I don't remember.

Yesterday I bought Master of the Moon, Killing the Dragon, Come Out and Play and You Can't Stop Rock 'n' Roll.

Weird. If I were him I'd have told Alex to fuck off! Luca writes most of the music anyway, what the fuck?

Master Of The Moon and Killing The Dragon are excellent. He seems to get a lot of flack for those albums, but they're damn good in my book.

Radagast · **Posted:** Tue Aug 01, 2006 10:32 pm

Yeah I just listened to Maser of the Moon, I thought it was ok. Nothing too inspiring. Killing the Dragon I've had a copy of for about a year now, its a better album - a few weak tracks, a few great ones. Bain/Aldritch/Dio > Goldy/Dio.
