I know, they keep loading up all these albums for release on the
same day. I don't know if you ever heard Defiance, but it's also
released on that day. Personally I am not so worried about Nile or

I`ve liked the odd Slipknot song here and there but not enough to really

They released a ep at the same time, and between the two I find I
like the EP more. I like the acoustic Scarbourgh Fair better than the
heavier one on the main CD. I also feel like about 3 of the songs on
the main album are just too much like some Nightwish songs in feel
than I want this band to do. I do like the song My Destiny a good
deal. What I wanted to hear is a bit more grunting vocals for contrast
on this. I will have to make it through the main album a few more
times though. I sort of feel like it's lessor than Vinland Saga,
though.

I thought you sort of soured on that type stuff. (beauty and beast

I usually don't pay any attention to the overall length of the
album. As it's only a problem when an album "feels" too long, or
several songs.
The previous Epica album (the Divine Conspiracy) is an album I took
to right away, and usually hear about weekly.

I thought that for a second, but he previously posted this.
"You might find this hard to believe Tom, but I've had the new Epica
for like a month now and I actually like it sometimes."
Which would say this is not about Epica
" I remember hating this band, but for the life of me can't remember
any
of their songs. This is probably a good thing, but maybe not. What

I guess I could be proved wrong. I do remember you saying a friend

That and at least 3 or 4 other videos from those days. I can't
remember the titles as I usually ignored them. My younger brother
liked them a good deal, though.
I almost hate to admit it, but one of the concerts I saw years ago
(probably 20 now) was Cinderella/Winger/Bullet Boys. As I have said,
few rock bands ever play here, and when there's a concert, you go or
never see concerts without a long drive.
Which I am not so sure I can do so much anymore.

Yep. A lot of people took that to heart. Of course a lot of bands
who hadn't got airplay, got some on that, and some sold a lot more

I don't have a problem with that. Some of the bands, the songs
didn't age well, that's all. And now, some 20-25 years later I just
don't feel like I want, or need to hear them all that much.

I find that this album is rising in my opinion. I also find her
vocals adorable on this and the previous album. I also like that they
have kept the growling vocals for contrast, and I like that they have
kept the speedy DM drummer from God Dethroned. That they have added
more guitar solos and such probably helps you.

Shit is a strong word. I like the fact these bands have melody in
their music, and I really enjoy many of the songs they write. Sure,
they're not blood and guts metal, but I don't need all bands to be
that. When I want B&G type music, I'll grab some Thrash, DM or some
Trad metal.

The peeps here is pretty much me. I am about the only one who has

Besides Twisted Sister and WASP I don`t like hair metal at all. And I think
both of those bands are more straight up heavy metal than what it generally
perceive as hair metal anyway. The only TS album which really falls into the
hair metal category sonically is the last one.
Do I hate it? It certainly does nothing for me and used to irritate me back
in the day but nowadays I don`t get worked up about music I don`t
like...each to their own. And hell, it as such a long time ago now!

I can't comment on TS so much, only heard their big few hits for the
most part, and We're not going to Take it to me is sort of party
anthem sort of song, as is the other big hit I can't remember the
title for.
As for WASP, they did have some sort of party songs, but yeah,
otherwise Traditional type metal for the most part.
I don't hate 80's hair metal, for the record I did buy a lot of
those albums and listened a lot back then, I just think some of the
songs didn't age well, and many of the bands had to put out those
power ballads, sometimes a few on one album, that after a few albums
they had so many "hit power ballads" that they had to play that they
had less time for the harder rocking songs.
So, in final, I don't feel much need to listen to those albums very
often. As Ian said, it's a long time ago.

Yeah, that's a lot of time sitting in front of a computer when I
could have been doing something else. Sure takes a different light
after recent medical things.

It was as hard and heavy as anything around at the time IMO.

Not sure I have heard this before. Seems a lot less commercial than
the songs I remember.

I've not heard this either.

Pretty much. It wouldn't be long though, before something harder,
heavier and faster would come.

Well this was my point...TS do often get lumped in with that hair metal
commercial crowd but musically they didn`t suit it at all. In 1982-83 they
kicked ass as hard as anyone. Even the Stay Hungry album only had those 2
famous songs on it. The rest was pretty hard and heavy stuff.

I just didn't remember that. I believe I had heard at least one of
their albums, but it was probably 1984-85. And I just haven't heard
them since. Just the famous songs.

Have you heard Voyage 34? It's one piece of music divided into 4 movements.
It's mostly instrumental, and fucking awesome. It starts out as a rock
song, morphs into a trancy electronic song, then devolves into ambience.
Incredible.

I believe that's on the 2CD retrospective (Stars Die) I have. Yeah,
I did give that a lot of listens (both CD's)

Stars Die only has Phase One on it. My favorite part is Phase Three.

Unfortunate, but I have not filled out the catalog.

It's been an eventful year, to say the least.
