A couple of songs were ok in my book, but overall I will agree with Tali.

AOTW: Bob Cately - Sign of the Times. Just got hold of this one so I'm on my first listen.

How does it compare with 'Spirit of man' and 'When empires burn' which is my favourite?

Well it compares quite nicely to Spirit of Man because I am a dumbass and that is the AOTW I am referring to. Don't ask me where I pulled that other title from, no clue. So yes Spirit of Man it is and so far not bad at all.

Don't so much like the production actually - that's one reason why I prefer 'When Empires burn' - I thought the one you mentioned might be his new one, so I didn't think you were a dumbass! :lol:

by **SnakeLady** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 5:57 am

For me AOTW is ......................... Alter Bridge - Blackbird

by **doggy** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 8:08 am

"In For the Count" by Balance, a classic ATOW.[/i]

After two spins, I can agree on the production aspect. Not a great job. But at least there are a number of decent songs to make it worthwhile

Does he sing in that horrible post-grungy style mono-voice he used on the first disc?

by **Taliwakker** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 3:32 pm

That track wasn't bad but I also listened to the title track and thought it was depressing as fuck. I just don't 'get' them I guess. Sounds like a grunge band to me and I fucking hated grunge.

by **SnakeLady** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 1:16 am

Going to see them live 7th of december

for the second time looking forward to it!

Maybe that is why I like them. Aside from the singer, the whole grunge thing (other than Candlebox) is something I ignored back in the 90s, so this is actually something rather new for me.

by **Serendipity** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 10:35 pm

Well, I have listened to Nostradamus! The songs aren't bad at all, but most of them do sound very alike at first ear. Still, I wouldn't know which songs would have to go to make it a bit easier to digest, because there's something nice in each song.

I tend to prefer the quicker songs, but -to my surprise- at the moment my most favourite song is Exiled. Halford is somewhat weak on the verses there, but the guitarwork underneath and the buildup in the middle section is so irresitable, and in the chorus Halford unleashes. Goosebumps!

It is a strange record, but it's definitely not bad.

by **Taliwakker** » Mon Jul 21, 2008 8:35 am

My AOW is Pagan's Mind-Enigmatic:Calling

haven't got sick of that album yet...JVL is such a great guitar player.

by **Soloud** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 11:09 am

AOTW is Pyramaze - Immortal

Love hearing Barlow sing, but the songs are somewhat...repetitive is perhaps the word. I could get bored of most of them quickly I think.

by **Serendipity** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 12:35 am

No CD but a DVD: Foreigner - Alive & Rockin'. Brilliant concert with Urgent as the absolute highlight.
This concert was actually at a heavy metal festival, and in advance the band were a little worried how the audience would like them. Um, the crowd turned out to like them extremely well, were blown away even!

by **Jonny B** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 6:33 am

I have two AOTWs (to make up for the many times I haven't posted.) Two albums so great, I bought them twice!!! :oops:

Ayreon "The Human Equation" (in my first copy, the second cd was stuck in the jewel case, and shattered when I tried to pull it out. I ended up buying a replacement...because I thought it was THAT good.)

Kamelot "Epica" (this second purchase, was a mistake. I was thinking I was buying "Karma" but accidentily pulled 'Epica' from the shelf instead. I gave my accidential spare copy to my bro.) :oops:

by **doggy** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 7:13 am

"Venus In Overdrive" by Australia"s own Rick Springfield.

by **Soloud** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 2:54 am

My AOTW is: Communic - Payment of Existence

I really like their previous releases and this new one is no exception; an onslaught of heavy riffs and that cool singing style the singer has. Only eight songs, but good good stuff.

I really like the song with Mike Baker on vocals. Forget which 'Day' it is, but he sounds like he's having a blast with it.
