I hope you put them in their place. I love Rage for Order and The Warning and they're still about 50 miles behind Mindcrime.

[Maiden33]

I have to be honest, over time The Warning has grown on me to be only a little behind Mindcrime - the only thing holding Mindcrime ahead of it for me is the story and all the things that come from it being a concept album. If we're talking about how much I like the actual songs on their own, I think I like the Warning just as much.

So far this album has been... decent. Pretty much the same as I thought of the first track - nothing is really offending me or turning me OFF, the songs just aren't really DOING it for me. Maybe I'm just not in the mood.

:lol: Alice kind of addressed that in a very bizarre roundabout way in our interview. Sample: "The thing I like about nightmares is during them they seem logical. You’re having dinner with Bob Dole and then you go to the baseball park and Godzilla comes in. That doesn’t make any sense at all, but it does when you’re dreaming. That’s what I like about writing from the point of view of a nightmare. I can really go anywhere."

That's a little bit better. Not that the ballad was bad, it's just not the first thing you should play while trying to figure out how much something "rocks."

Fair point. Especially as it's a very bluesy ballad at that.

I like everything about this album though :D

[JRA]

Like I said before, Forever wasn't bad, it just shouldn't be the first course. For instance, Beyond The Realms of Death is arguably the best song on Stained Class, but when showcasing it you should play Exciter or the title track first.

;Agreed. It's been a dream of mine since I started listening to Symphony X to hear Russell do Dio. Too bad the rest of the EP is nothing that special.

The more I listen to the whole EP, the more I love it actually. Anyone who says 'Hit The Wall' is simplistic or boring or sounds like Godsmack is an idiot. And Russell's vocal melodies on the verses of 'Believe Me' :drool:

'Psychosane' is just pure awesome.

The only track I'd drop is 'Down To The Floor'.

I've listened to it three times tonight. :lol: It seriously hurts your argument. ;)

It's OK. This one more than reinforces it.

A Runaway Train
Welcome 2 My Nightmare
Alice Cooper

So does Caffeine's horrific chorus.

You know what though, with Alice, even his worst songs become memorable after a while.

I think the album has worked its way up to a 3/5, but I can't see it getting any higher before I finish the review tomorrow night.

Holy fuck. This is easily some of, if not the, most well-phrased, wonderful guitar playing I've heard all year. I've known this guy for years and I never knew he could play like this.

Solid. Chorus is a little odd though. It sounds more like a pre-chorus than an actual chorus but whatever, Mastodon chose a March of The Fire Ants type song as their latest single so it works for me.

[PowerMaiden]

I just finished the new Anthrax album 'Worship Music' and I must say it pretty strong, with the exception of 2-3 songs it's really a good album

pretty long too, there's 10 songs (plus 3 small intro under 90 secs) clocking at almost 66 minutes.


Nicely done boys

Cheers !

Don't bother trying to work it out. He has this strange obsession with albums being no more than 10 tracks and no more than 45 minutes. It's never made sense.
