Marillion - 'This Strange Engine'.....check it out.

Is it Mark Free week? Great singer!

My AOTW has a different singer though: Savatage - Handful Of Rain.

by **Aussie Metalchild** » Fri Nov 23, 2007 10:29 am

Im a HUGE Mark Free fan!

Reborn - Northern Kings

by **Jonny B** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 4:35 am

Going back to Nightwish "Dark Passion Play." Looks like I'll miss their second US tour as well. The nearest show next year is a 1000+ mile drive.

Great album right there! 'Chance' is still my favorite Savatage tune! A shame there won't be anymore albums, what with their success in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

But then, Circle II Circle has been a worthy substitute. Zak Stevens can still belt it out.

Yeah, I really like Chance as wel.

CIIC are great as a follow up for Savatage, though it feels a little like a 'Savatage-light' situation. They still sound very much like Savatage even though they write their own songs these days. Not sure whether that is a good thing or a bad thing (the musical alikeness, that is). Still, I do like their music very much.

I like any song where Zak gets to sing point-counterpoint. He does a couple of those on Wake of Magellan quite nicely too. Definitely a good singer. CIIC is not bad, but a little bland.

"Smile" by Ted Poley.

by **Taliwakker** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:09 am

Turisas-The Varangian Way

by **Kenny** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 11:07 am

'Talk' by Yes - Track 2, 'I am waiting'....I defy anybody to not be moved by this piece of music.

by **doggy** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 6:26 am

"Standing Alone" by White Wolf.

by **Aussie Metalchild** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 10:14 am

I loved that cd back when it came out. Still have a few of the songs floating around somewhere. I saw on thr MR site a while back that they have a new cd out as well

by **doggy** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 6:51 am

Yes, White Wolf is back. Haven't picked up the new cd yet, might order it in the new year.

by **Jonny B** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 1:29 am

I just got a large shipment of cds in this week, so it may be awhile before I've filtered out a standout AOTW.

by **doggy** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 7:00 am

"Keeping Up With The Joneses"by The Joneses, are old classic glam/punk band from the late 80s.

by **Penny** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 11:45 am

HIM - Venus Doom. Got tickets yesterday to go see them too.

by **Jonny B** » Fri Dec 21, 2007 12:08 am

I've filtered out an AOTW out of a list of ten: Two of a Kind "S/T"

by **Serendipity** » Fri Dec 21, 2007 7:59 pm

I'm going with the record I'm playing right now: Deep Purple - The House Of Blue Light.

by **Soloud** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 1:06 am

AOTW is Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Eve and Other Stories. I'm seeing them tomorrow and thought I would get myself a little psyched.

by **Kenny** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 9:44 pm

Black Sabbath - The Dio Years. Great album, great concert, great drummer!! (Vinnie Appice)

by **Serendipity** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 2:30 am

Symphony X - Paradise Lost. Unbelievably great record. For me it's one of the best records I've heard the past couple of years even.

by **Jonny B** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 5:39 am

I'm picking The Codex "S/T"

It's great to see Mark Boals come out of nowhere to deliver another amazing vocal performance.

I'm wondering if maybe Frontiers Records should just let Magnus Karlsson write all their melodic rock projects from now on. 4 of my 5 favorite albums from that label in the past 3 years are all his own. (Starbreaker, The Codex, both Allen/Lande albums.)

by **Taliwakker** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 6:51 am

Scar Symmetry-Pitch Black Progress

probably the best melodic death album since Soilwork's NBC
