Well, I am early this week!!! I have already found my AOTW. I have been tremendously enjoying Circle II Circle - Watching In Silence.
Um, sorry, but this is the Melodic Rock site??

Well... there are also very melodic ballads on that record! :lol:

I'll pick something more sensitive next week!

My ATOW is a band that would be playing Australia at end of this month, the band is ROOSTER.
Good call on the Lizzy album, but my favourite album by Lizzy is "Nightlife, Bobbie.Have you seen the new best of Thin Lizzy dvd, yet Bobbie ?

Nope.... Not yet. Plus I think I already have it in the form of "Dedication - The Videos" that was released on video years ago. I will buy it eventually though...

Disappointing part of this "Greatest Hits" by Thin Lizzy dvd, there no studio or live clip for "Still In love with you" on it.

I have an Album of the Weak this time around, and that goes to Lana Lane "Lady Macbeth." I was hesitant when it was called a combination of Secrets of Astrology and Project Shangri-La. That would make it a few rockers and a lot of filler, or mediocre at best....I was right.

This group NEEDS to get out of the concept album theme, because Arjen Lucassen they are not.

Mine is Beyond Twilight-Section X

although i just found this

interesting....i think this album is as good as DHoF too....i like Jorn but i kind of doubt he wrote all of it.

Apparently they like to speak a fair bit of shit about Arjen too.

Shame... It's not on the video either.

So far I haven't been doing much listening to music, because I've been quite busy with work and analysis of a new piece of cr@pware on the market. I did manage to hear a few songs though. My nomination for this week Ice Age - The Great Divide. I've been listening to their follow-up Liberation as well, but I haven't heard the whole album yet. I have to live farther apart from the workplace, maybe the iPod can do a decent turn of a CD then... :lol:

My AOTW is Dream Theatre - Awake

Have been watching a few music DVD's this week rather than listening to CD's...fave so far has to be the Europe DVD, simply for the cheese factor...I mean keytar solos, WTF! :roll:

Same here... I don't know, the truth might be somewhere down the middle... There are some songs with a 'Jornish' feel on the album, but who knows, Zierler might be just as capable of writing those songs. What disappoints me is that Jorn finds it necessary to lash out like that in an interview... Why not take it up with the record company if he indeed has written all those songs?

by **Serendipity** » Fri Aug 19, 2005 10:30 pm

My AOTW is At Vance - Only Human. Sounds a little like the early Malmsteen albums, and Oliver Hartmann does some fine singing on it. He's got a dark, slightly hoarse voice... I like that!

by **doggy** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 8:38 am

ATOW is S/T by Blanc Faces, Jonny and Thomas you must get this masterpeice or missing out possible the AOR cd of year.

by **SnakeLady** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 2:13 am

Okay I know it´s not wednesday :lol:

but thursday I´ve bought the new cd from Gotthard an it allready got a few spins on my cd player

pretty good cd ..... nice voice Steve Lee has :wink:

Favourites songs from the album are: I wonder (a nice ballad), Cupid´s Arrow (rocky), Lift U Up (just a song that makes you happy) :wink:

by **Jonny B** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 1:10 am

My AOTW goes to the reissue of Laos "We Want It." No 80's rock collection is complete without it.

by **SnakeLady** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 4:21 am

Well I´ve been listening allot to Kamelot - Black Halo :wink:

I've given that one a couple of spins as well this week!

by **Taliwakker** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 12:51 pm

My AOW is a toss up between Presto Ballet-Peace Amongst the Ruins or Spiritual Beggers-Demons....both analogue recordings with big nods to the 70's...Can't decide which one i like more.

by **doggy** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 7:57 am

ATOW is " Embracing the Silence" by Australian own Vannishing Point.

by **Bobbi Flekman** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 9:12 pm

I had no time to listen... So none for me now....

maybe Crazy Frog... from the radio.

No.....what is it, really???

by **Jonny B** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 2:21 am

My AOTW hesitantly goes to Harem Scarem "Mood Swings." It's got some decent rockers, often hailed as the classic by HS fans...but I find it to be too experimental in places to call it a classic. I think four or five tracks could be placed on Weight of the World without anyone noticing.

You have so listened to music this week!!! I have played my Black Sabbath - Seventh Star CD... twice, and Phenomena - Phenomena I have played even more times. And your Hartmann CD has been in the player a couple of times this week as well!

by **SnakeLady** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 7:44 am

Well I´ve bought a couple of cd´s today one of them was

Jorn - Out to every Nation gave it 2 spinns allready :wink:

Michael has to rock, and be the leader of the ................... :shock:

This album has really gotten my attention. I really love the song "Lift U Up", and yes it is a very happy song.

Others on this album that I like are "All We Are", "Dream On", "Anytime, Anywhere", and "Stay For The Night".

Now that you mention it.... Didn't realize that. Think my mnd must have been elsewhere...

Since I do like that Hartmann, and it needs to be pushed I'll nominate him to be be AOTW.

Thanks for refreshing my mind...

I´ve been listening allot to Porcupine Tree - Signify

there are some pretty good songs on it ........ had to listen it a couple of times

by **Kenny** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 10:00 pm

I had a listen to 'Van Halen II' real loud yesterday, first time for a looong time. Blew me away.
Favourite track - 'Light up the Sky'.

by **Jonny B** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 1:17 am

Though my collection is packed, I still listen to my bro's collection during morning coffee.

My AOTW goes to Blue Tears "S/T."

If Def Leppard really wanted to write up a good covers album, they should just steal this album and call it their own. It would be better than rehashing 70's songs that have been redone a hundred times before.
