I’m gonna give the album another listen very soon. It’s been far too long!

I adore that whole album, especially the first half. Just incredible prog rock/metal with arguably the best voices in the genre. LaBrie even stays in the range he sounds best in.

Someone better will pop up when you’re not expecting it. That just seems to be how life works.

I’m currently on my sixth playthrough of Resident Evil Requiem and needless to say I’m loving it. Even with my huge backlog of games I can’t stop myself from starting a new playthrough once I’ve finished. The horror elements with Grace and the action/suspense with Leon is very well-balanced, and...

I really have to give these guys credit for their philanthropic actions. They’re all multimillionaires but are also down to earth; apparently even people who have met Lars say he’s a good dude.

I had no idea Lepond had played on so many albums, but if they’re paying him, why wouldn’t he? Man’s gotta make a living with side projects, as such is the Symphony X way. I trust you’ll review his solo albums? I recall that big song about MacBeth (apparently it’s a dumb play or some shit)...

Drapery Falls and Bleak are about equal to me, but I’m just so sick of Deliverance. If they’re gonna overplay a song, I’d rather it be Ghost of Perdition. Blackwater Park is the song I really want to hear again, though. Also, they played Harlequin Forest in 2020 and it was the apex of the set...

@MrK and I saw Opeth a few weeks ago for the first time in six years, and they were as great as I remember. Killer set, too, even if I could’ve lived without the overplayed encore. Katatonia bored me to tears, though. I don’t think their vocalist fits with the heaviness of their music at all.

Rest assured that if it’s something his fans want, Mikael will vehemently dislike it!

You guys, I truly do hope that AOC is the Democrat party’s pick for 2028. I’m sure there are tens of conservatives who believe that, and I’ll have what you’re serving, but hold the racism and sexism. That ain’t my jam, son.

I think it would be awesome if AOC runs for president in 2028. From bartender to the Oval Office, you go girl! It’s always good to find common ground with the other side! … I just couldn’t resist.

I remember playing one of the original Tomb Raider games way back in the day, before the reboot was made. I completely agree; just endlessly frustrating - and this is coming from someone who adores the original Resident Evil games! I love the reboot trilogy, though. The third one had a bit of a...

If they got rid of the solos and added Fourth Legacy and Lunar Sanctum, this would be 10/10 would recommend.

I’m almost done with Dystopia and it’s a very good album. I’ve heard it several times before but it never really resonated with me like it does now, so I don’t know what changed. Maybe hearing the subpar TSTDATD right before it makes Dystopia sound better than it is? I’ve never been able to...

Really? Never noticed. I thought I recall him saying he quit smoking, which is obviously a great thing considering his pipes. Will do. I need some more commuting music, anyway, and I've already grown tired of working my way backwards through Megadeth's discography (currently about to start...
