Album Of The Week #2

AOTW is Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat... I like the Spanish guitar playing on it.

by **Jonny B** » Thu Apr 22, 2004 11:25 pm

I'm a bit late, but my AOTW is Device "22B3." After two years of searching, I finally found an original copy in the used bins the other day.

Great one, Bobbi. Blackfoot were my fave of the southern rock bands.

My aotw is Evergrey - Recreation Day. The new Evergrey, The Inner Circle, is released next week I believe...looking forward to that one.

Neon God Pt 1 The Rise by W.A.S.P is my AOTW.
Blackie has done it again, it another concept album. If you read between lines on this cd, it written as autobiography on Blackie.

I just got Recreation Day yesterday. I didn't really like 'In Search of Truth' and had sort of written Evergrey off.....but Rec Day is pretty cool (on first listen)...I'll get Inner Circle when it comes out for sure.

Well I have been listening to Aina - Days of the rising doom

, I love it great story and music :wink:

And I have been flogging Asia - 'Arena'.......a bit mellower than I thought it would be, and certainly more AOR than early Asia with Wetton out front, but very melodic, and very easy on the ears.
Thanks again, Doggy!

AOTW is Talisman "Cats and Dogs." On first impression it was a mediocre comeback album, but several spins later, it has grown on me.

by **Taliwakker** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 10:15 am

Dead Soul Tribe-A murder of crows.
This album is so much better than the debut. I love Devon (Buddy)'s voice and this album is probably as good if not better than any of the Psychotic Waltz albums.

My aotw is Sun Caged - ST. I've been listening to this one since it was announced they would play the pre-show party for ProgPower USA.

by **Taliwakker** » Fri Apr 30, 2004 8:28 am

Sun Caged rock...the singer sounds like a better LaBrie and Joost (the keyboard player) is a fucking gun

by **Serendipity** » Fri Apr 30, 2004 6:59 pm

Don't really know what my AOTW is... Singer of the week is Zak Stevens though. Listened a lot to Savatage and Circle II Circle.

I was so disappointed to read C II C are coming to play a concert here, as a support act for Blaze :shock:

by **maidenman77** » Sat May 01, 2004 5:28 pm

AOTW for me this week is Down to Earth - Ozzy Osbourne....hadn't listened to it for a while, but has now found it's way back into regular rotation

by **Bobbi Flekman** » Sat May 01, 2004 8:08 pm

Cheap Trick's 'One On One' has been the one for me. Every time that I was outside I had my walkman on blasting this on a low volume. I don't wanna go deaf!

by **trekman** » Sat May 01, 2004 10:45 pm

Ive got Lillian Axe "Poetic Justice" as my AOTW

by **Take me home** » Wed May 05, 2004 11:42 am

Oleander - February Son. Finally working my way through the collection so my AOTW.

by **Taliwakker** » Wed May 05, 2004 9:03 pm

Paul Gilbert-Burning Organ

I Like Rock could be one of the dumbest songs i've heard in a while but i get a big

out of it.
PG has a weird sense of humour......and a great set of chops.

by **maidenman77** » Wed May 05, 2004 10:07 pm

Crazy World - Scorpions

Heard Winds of Change on the radio and then put the CD in the car and haven't been able to stop whistling the WoC intro ever since

by **Jonny B** » Wed May 05, 2004 10:46 pm

AOTW for me is Lostprophets "Start Something"

Probably the best vocals for a nu-breed that I've heard since Ra. If you don't mind the occassional scream, then I highly recommend this.

by **doggy** » Thu May 06, 2004 9:04 am

AOTW for me is the self titled cd by The Casanovas.
They are young Aussie three peice band, playing old classic rock ala AC/DC.

by **melodic_metal_fl** » Thu May 06, 2004 10:17 am

Mine is Silent Force - Infatuator. It's a fucking shame that most people have no clue who D.C. Cooper is.

by **Taliwakker** » Thu May 06, 2004 10:56 am

Isn't DC Alice's sister?

Hmmm, I know D.C. Cooper, but I seem to have missed Silent Force :oops:

My AOTW is Pink Floyd - Pulse. Visiting the Mostly Autumn concert was very inspiring!

I received a Mostly Autumn sampler CD in the last Classic Rock mag that I bought, but I can't really hear the connection between Pink Floyd and Mostly Autumn....must be missing something as EVERYONE seems to compare the two

by **Bobbi Flekman** » Thu May 06, 2004 7:39 pm

Mine's Led Zeppelin IV.

I've heard Silent Force, didn't like it. It's been a few years, but in my recollection Silent Force was somewhat power metally so S-Dip would like it. I could be wrong though 'cause it's not a hobby to remember the things I don't like.

by **Kenny** » Fri May 07, 2004 2:39 am

Led Zep IV will never die!!!!

That album still has a presence (pardon the Zep pun) a power, some kind of mystique that I can't explain.....terrific choice!!!

Mine is 'Long live Rock and Roll' - Rainbow.......apart from the legendary title track, 'LA Connection', 'Gates of Babylon', 'Lady of the lake', 'Kill the King', and 'The shed' are all fantastic tracks.......as well we have the pre-cursor to Blackmores Night in many ways, 'Rainbow eyes'.
Besides, the album has Ronnie James Dio, Ritchie Blackmore, and drum legend Cozy Powell on drums! (RIP).......throw in Bob Daisley on bass and you have an album that no self respecting rock fan could ever resist!!

Still an amazing listen to this day.......

"Power metally" ?! :shock:

That sounds quite girly... :lol:

If you like DC's solo work or his stuff with Royal Hunt, Silent Force is worth checking out. They have power metal elements to their music but I would not lump them in with the typical power metal bands...they offer much more. Someone who has their albums might be persuaded to send you a cdr if you asked them nicely... :wink:

Would that someone be the guy with the most excellent taste in music on this entire messageboard? :wink:

Yeah, I'd love to hear Silent Force!!!

Well, not all their songs sound like Pink Floyd... But Brian Josh sounds very much like Dave Gilmour; on the stage even more than on the albums. The subdued songs he sings and plays are heavily influenced by Pink Floyd.
