Currently going through Dark Souls 3 for the first time. I'm done with the base game and started the DLC yesterday. It's a pretty good game, but by far my least favorite so far. My rankings would be: Demon's Souls >>> Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin > Dark Souls Remastered > Dark Souls...

To clarify my previous comment, I wasn't trying to say that the others don't collect ideas in some way. We know that Steve and Janick do so, for example. I was mostly talking about producing actual demos, rather than just whistling a tune or recording a single guitar or anything like that. I...

Maybe they're doing it like Kirk Hammett and records hundreds of riffs on their phones (only to end up losing it) :D

Given how they write music nowadays (as in, the last couple of decades) the only one who'd produce any kind of demo would be Adrian. That's how we got Satellite 15 for example, which is literally a demo of his with some vocals slapped on. That's why it uses digital drums instead of Nicko playing...

Thanks for the summary @Kalata! Not sure if Roy is to blame with the production issues on TMP, but I hope that the next album will sound better. At the very least the drum sound needs improvement, imo.

The Storm Within This album follows the template of the previous one, but with much better results. The songs are tighter and stronger on average and we also have a bit more variety this time around. The album theme is your typical Evergrey fare through a sci-fi/space lens. The artwork sucks...

I... do prefer NPFTD to TNOTB :D:ninja::innocent:

Nah, the tempo issues were due to Nicko. If they were to play the song with Simon it's going to be faster once more. The reason why many of us don't want them to revisit that song is because it has had plenty of chances and prominent placements in setlists since the reunion, as well as the...

Aces High is one of the hardest songs to sing in their entire discography. BQOBD is rather easy, with the exception of the intro scream I suppose. Neither of the songs is problematic instrumentally.

Enjoy your holiday @MindRuler!

I'm waiting until we're through with all of them to decide.

Hymns For The Broken We've finally reached Evergrey's current era. I became a fan of the band shortly before the release of this one. I had heard Solitude Within and A Touch Of Blessing years ago, but had never checked out the rest of their music. I had the chance to listen to all of the...

The early days are by far the least interesting era of the band for me. I genuinely do not care at all about that. The 80s stuff has been pretty well documented as well. If I could choose I'd love to get some stuff for the 90s. The decline of the Dickinson era, the Blaze era, the buildup to the...
