I'm from Jerez and I live in Seville, so we were both there together!

Not to pick on you both, but I'm baffled at the continued labeling in this forum of everything having an inkling of a major third in it as "happy" or "cheerful". The major mode has a lot of emotional range - much more than the minor mode, in fact - and basing your music on a major chord does not...

In the Spanish show I attended everybody around me sang along to ALL the songs, both old and new. To my left there were three girls in their twenties who sang along to every chorus, every chant, every guitar riff. It was quite an experience.

Call me idiot but until now I had not noticed that the list was the openers and closers of all the albums.

AMOLAD TBOS BNW (wanted to spare it today and vote for SIT, but I have to protect NOTB. NOTB? Are you nuts? 6 of its songs are all time classics and the other two are fun. And good. "Gangland" is better than half of AMOLAD or TFF, and I say this unironically)

It may be commercial but it absolutely worked. Not only it was a hit but it made Seventh Son have a presence on mainstream media I do not remember for the album before nor after it, and thanks to its momentum all the 7th Son singles charted (even the live Infinite Dreams!)

Does the heavy guitar part above the synth bit in the intro remind anybody else of Golden Earring's "Radar Love"?

AMOLAD and TFF. Since the debut and Killers are gone this is invalid anyway :-P

IMO is the only album of theirs where I think that too many songs overstay their welcome.

I love the debut and I actuall think the sparse production works in its favour. Sure, the actual recording might need some better EQ and Clive's drums don't sound as alive as in Killers and NOTB - but the actual production concept? Perfect. With that said, this round I'm giving AMOLAD some rest...

The worst thing is that they didn't actually go back, as in back to the sound of Iron Maiden, Killers or NOTB. When I listen to NPFTD my inner cynic tells me that what they really were trying was to ride on the Guns'n'Roses bandwagon.

Me too, but Dave's fiery conclusion to the whole instrumental section works better as a whole than if Adrian's solo led directly to the riff.

That is not complete either. The real McCoy is when Dave re-takes over and hammers it home :-)

I don't like the debut... I LOVE the debut. Better by a mile than any reunion album, so my votes remain the same: AMOLAD and TFF because they are my least favourite reunion albums and TXF because it bores me to death except for the first songs.

I finally voted for CSiT. The ATG solo is excellent but Adrian won me with a couple of moments that made my ears perk up.

Or rather that I have an awfully busy mind. What I would not give to be able to listen to music with 100% of my brain power into it like when I was 20.

I think they made the correct decision. "Gangland" fits better with the rest of the album while "Total Eclipse" sounds better as a standalone B-side. In fact when I ripped NOTB for the mp3 player I kept Total Eclipse out on purpose - I think in the remastered CD it kills the flow.

On some songs my mind wandered off before the solo came. Honestly until this contest I had not even noticed Long Distance Runner had a solo.

Besides those are fourth fifth and sixth solos from Somewhere in Time overall. Only 4 of the top 10 are not from SiT and 3 of those are the lowest. You people really like that album. I do want to, but it always disappoints me and I cannot put my finger on why.

As do I. Actually most of the ones Foro posted fall into my "meh" or "not like" categories.
