Album Of The Week #2

by **Bobbi Flekman** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 10:41 pm

I've been enjoying a lot of the Listen, Learn, Read On set of discs by Deep Purple...

And I'm also awaiting the new work from Patricia and Fran.

Devin Townsend Band-Synchestra

This album is so fucking good

by **Jonny B** » Thu Feb 09, 2006 11:13 am

I finally set the time to beat this album to death. My AOTW goes to Ayreon "The Human Equation." And I can finally say that this is the first ever double album where both discs are awesome all the way through. There's so much diversity and so many influences (not to mention all those keyboards that had me drooling for 2 and a 1/2 hours) that I don't even know where to start.

Why I overlooked this album in 2004, I'm not sure. But by far, it's the best one well-ahead of a below-average rock year.

Yeah...about time JB...its a fucking masterpiece is what it is :lol:

Oi Tali, did you get the limited edition version. Had listen to a download version for a few weeks, cannot make up my mind if I like or not.

by **Taliwakker** » Fri Feb 10, 2006 10:41 am

Yeah i got the ltd ed with the live in the studio dvd...its awesome.

And you need to take a good look at yourself if you don't like Synchestra mate :roll:

by **Taliwakker** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 1:11 pm

Its still Synchestra

by **Penny** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 2:18 pm

This week for me it's Bloodbound - Nosferatu. Brilliant album.

by **Bobbi Flekman** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 8:54 pm

In honor of the recently deceased.... Saraya - When The Blackbird Sings.

by **doggy** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 6:37 am

ATOW is "Powerage" by AC/DC. :twisted:

by **Taliwakker** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 10:13 am

Ms Saraya died?

by **Jonny B** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 12:44 pm

Taliwakker wrote:Ms Saraya died?

No, the keyboardist did. (Gregg Munier.) R.I.P. Gregg.

My AOTW goes to Prophet "Recycled." Although not as good as their first two albums, they still show they can write a better traditional 80's rock album than a majority of the saturation-era bands.

4:17 AM by Before the Dawn for me this week. Thanks to my friend for getting it for me.

by **Bobbi Flekman** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 10:41 pm

I'm torn between Xandria - India and the solo album from Mostly Autumn's Iain Jennings (Breathing Space). Or rather ex-Mostly Autumn, since he just upped and went.

by **Jonny B** » Wed Feb 22, 2006 1:30 am

I don't have an AOTW. I've been deeply immensed in the Winter Olympics, despite the below-average coverage. So I will default to the next disc in my 5 CD carousel: Nightwish "Oceanborn."

Does that mean Mostly Autumn is now a female voice-only affair? Looks like I'll be sinking my teeth into the next album.

Does that now make them only Partly Autumn, or a Hint of Winter?

(Yes, it was a lame attempt at a joke.)

That means you dont want to see if Radical can get for you, Penny.
ATOW is "Rest In Sleaze" by Crashdeit, a hairspray band from Sweden I think.

by **Taliwakker** » Wed Feb 22, 2006 8:55 am

Pyramaze-Melancholy Beast
At first i thought this album was kind of boring but now i am of a different opinion....their new one comes out today or yesterday...have to get on to that.

by **Penny** » Wed Feb 22, 2006 11:02 am

I emailed Radical about it doggy, the minute I got the addy from you, but I didn't hear back from him. That was a week and a half ago. When I want something, I want it now.

I also haven't heard back from him about a t-shirt question. Maybe you could remind him to check his emails.

Tali, I like that Pyramaze album. Thanks for the heads up about a new one.

by **Taliwakker** » Wed Feb 22, 2006 12:26 pm

No worries Ms Pitstop.

My AOTW:

Badlands by Badlands

One of my favorite song off of this cd is "Winter's Call" LOVE IT!!

I think you are confusing Bryan Josh with Iain. Iain is the keyboardist, Bryan singer/guitarist. I do think that in the Iain's new band the singer will be female though. I bet that she will be Olivia Sparnenn, since she also did the vocals on Breathing Space. And as an afterthought you might like Odin Dragonfly. That's a sideproject from the Mostly Autumn-girls. No album as of yet, so I can't give any directions...

And personally I would go with Always Summer :wink:

Great album. I just wish I could find them on CD. I have the first two on cassette, and the third on CD. But the third one was released years after the band broke up.

Hmmmm. I guess I did confuse the two. :oops:

Losing the keyboardist is a really big blow, especially when a band had one as good as Iain.

by **Jonny B** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 11:18 am

My AOTW goes to (checking cd carousel) Genesis "The Platinum Collection." Even though it's not a complete collection by any means, it's worth getting just for the remixed tracks. In particular, the remix of "The Knife" is something else. Who would've thought the so-called modern phone box effect has been around for over 30 years?

by **UnderTheFridge** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 4:13 pm

Its been 20 years this week since Van Halen released "Why Can't This Be Love" as a single, therefore my AOTW is 5150

by **Penny** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 11:39 pm

Bloodbound's Nosferatu this week. What a great album.

My choice for this week is Arena's latest Pepper's Ghost.

You're welcome. If it is any consolation, you're in good company, there are more mummies around here. :lol:
