'Journyman' has to be the worst Maiden song ever

Nah, that vote goes to Holy Smoke...along with the video clip, which is one of the most amateurish ever produced

Worst Maiden song ever is 'The Assassin'......how they could produce such shite after a metal masterpiece like Seventh Son is beyond me. :roll:

My AOTW goes to Nightwish "Century Child". Been playing a lot of Nightwish in anticipation of "Once."

AOTW is DC Cooper - DC Cooper. It's a bit softer compared to his other work. I like it a lot though.

However, song of the week is The Battle Rages On by Deep Purple. Killer guitar riff on that song! Didn't even know this song until last week... :oops:

DC Cooper is one of my favorite vocalists.

AOTW: Pagan's Mind - Celestial Entrance

His voice is so versatile. Until I heard this solo album and the Silent Force albums I hadn't realised he also could sound a lot like Rob Halford.

AOTW for me this week is "Like Father,Like Sons" by the Nelson brothers.It is a live tribute cd by the Nelson to their late father,Rick. It has all the big Rick sang, eg Garden Party, Peggy Lou.

AOW is Death Angel-The Art of Dying.

their last album came out in 1990 and it almost made my album of the 90's list in JB's comp.....this one is not as good but its better than some reviews have been saying.

AOTW for me is Ayreon - Universal Migrator Part 2. Thanks Tali, this is not bad at all.

Jonny, Once came out in Finland yesterday,

sold Gold within a couple of hours. When is it being released in the states?

Good shit Penny

I just got the new one....THE HUMAN EQUATION in the mail yesterday....i need to line up a spare 2 hours to listen to it in its entireness...It has the best packaging of any cd i have ever owned....comes in like a hardback novel sort of a case with 2 cds and a dvd....excellent artwork, lyrics, Arjens thoughts on the various singers/musicians he used......brilliant.....hopefully the music will be just as good.

Sounds just like the Aina packaging. It's great when the record companies don't skimp on this.

by **Bobbi Flekman** » Thu Jun 03, 2004 6:44 pm

Rainbow - Bent Out Of Shape. The music speaks for itself.

by **maidenman77** » Thu Jun 03, 2004 6:45 pm

My album of the week is VH - Balance.....hadn't really got into this album before, but after some rotation in the past week it has grown on me alot

by **WardyS3** » Thu Jun 03, 2004 10:39 pm

Tie between Sevendust's new acoustic album (better on DVD though!) and good old Poisonblack. Just love JP's voice!

by **Penny** » Thu Jun 03, 2004 11:19 pm

good old Poisonblack. Just love JP's voice!

Poisonblack are great, and yes JP does have a great voice, but I'm really looking forward to the next album with Ville singing.

by **Kenny** » Thu Jun 03, 2004 11:59 pm

My album of the week is 'Empire' by Queensryche......I've always liked this album, and gave it a spin real loud this week.
'Best I can', 'The Thin Line', 'Jet City Woman', and the title track are exceptional, for me. 'Anybody listening?' always gets my paranoid nature freewheeling as well!
Unfortunately, in my opinion the band went downhill from here.

Still, it was good while it lasted.

by **WardyS3** » Fri Jun 04, 2004 8:50 am

No argument from me Kenny! Empire is one of my top 10 albums (this is when I discovered Queensryche, and not because of SL, because of an interview I read!).

Yeah Penny, I'm looking forward to the next Poisonblack too but must admit am a little disappointed Ville is singing himself. I love his work with Sentenced but am concerned it's going to seem even more like a solo project what with him writting most the stuff playing guitars and now singing. Probably just feeling this way cause I'm so passionate about JP's voice. Oh well bring on the next Charon.

by **WardyS3** » Fri Jun 04, 2004 8:54 am

I know it's an albums thread, but gotta mention song the week...
'It's about time' it's 5150 time! Can't get enough of that baby.

by **Mr.Rock** » Fri Jun 04, 2004 8:56 pm

AC/DC - Back in Black

It should win album of the 80's by a mile.

I believe that Nuclear Blast will be releasing Once in the states sometime in July.

AOTW comes a day early because I won't be around tomorrow.

AOTW goes to Lana Lane "Garden of the Moon."

by **Taliwakker** » Wed Jun 09, 2004 9:09 am

my AOW/year is Ayreon-The Human Equation.

Standout performances by Devin Townsend, a guy named Magnus Ekwall (from a band named The Quill) and this Mexican chick who's name is Marcela Bovia....and Irene Jansen is better than her sister.

The rest kick ass too except for a guy named Eric Clayton(Saviour Machine).....and LaBrie still irks me....but not as much as usual.

Its probably one of the best concept albums ever....it might even be better than The Wall :shock:

Give it ten years and then make a comparison Tali - you are verging on blasphemy there!! :lol:

My AOTW is 'The eyes of Alice Cooper'. Fantastic how this guy keeps evolving, reinventing his music all the time.

I understand the enormity of my statement.....but its a fucking sensational piece of art/music that just keeps getting better with each listen. I just took 2 hours off work just to drive around and listen to it in from beginning to end again.

by **Serendipity** » Wed Jun 09, 2004 5:51 pm

My AOTW is Feinstein - Third Wish. It sounds as one long tribute from David Feinstein to his cousin RJD... Lots of Dio and Black Sabbath inspired (or even copied :shock:

) riffs going on. Also heavily influenced by old Queensryche, Riot and Iron Maiden.

I read in an interview that the original plan was actually to have Dio do the vocals, but he didn't have the time, so John West did them instead. Dougie White (if available) would have been an even better choice IMO.

Outstanding track is the title track, it's epic!

Fuck that does sound serious.....fantastic when a piece of music can do that to you mate.
BTW, PM me with what you sent me - I got 'em today but three of 'em are not labelled or anything. I've identified Book of Shadows, which is fucking awesome.

DC Cooper would've been a good choice as well. That guy's got some lungs!

Yeah, I prefer DC's voice over John West. But in this case I still think Dougie would have been the best man for the job. Dougies voice has a more "vintage" sound to it, which fits this music perfectly.

by **doggy** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 9:05 am

ATOW for me this week is preveiw cd of the new Dokken. It almost back to old school on first listen. The new guitarist, John Levin, is no George Lynch but shreds very well.
