    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 61-66

    In Trance is such a brilliant track it pained me to vote against A Question of Heaven as it is a monster track, but considering In Trance is easily one of my favourite Scorpions songs (And albums) there wasn't a chance to vote against it.

    Black Sabbath

    Anno Mundi and the Tyr Suite, are among some of sabbaths best. I wish this phase of Sabbath was more recognized for how amazing it was. IMO 80s Sabbath as a whole is stronger than 70s. But both are top tier, the run of Black Sabbath to Dehumanizer is great even if there is a mistep or two in the...

    Black Sabbath

    Headless Cross for me is one album which comes close to Heaven and Hell for me in terms of quality. It is an excellent hidden gem which really shouldn't be hidden.

    Dream Theater

    Listened to the album today, early highlights were Night Terror, Machine Messiah, Dead Asleep and Turn the Clock, the latter 2 being the best for me. It isn't an amazing album, I'd put it on par with AVFTPOTW and D/T. Overall I enjoyed it.

    NOW PLAYING

    I know they released a demo of this in 2015 but there should have been a proper version done of this.

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 61-66

    Voted for Sinner (and other things) but hoping for a tie cause both deserve to make it.

    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

    I think it won't be present and it will be the closer of their final tour when they decide to do that.

    OPETH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME - Still Life wins!

    It was my understanding that on Bleak it is Steven Wilson singing. But i agree with your overall thoughts, the album is brilliant

    Nicko McBrain retires

    Nicko left in one of the classiest ways possible, the man had a stroke, 5 months later is on tour, at the end of the first leg announces the stroke explaining people's doubts in his performance, then nearly 2 years after his stroke announces that he will retire following 1 more show. It was a...

    OPETH DISCOGRAPHY RANKING GAME - Still Life wins!

    Going to provide my thoughts on the list thus far. MAYH fluctuates between #1 and #2 depending on the day, I appreciate the raw nature of it without the songs being too long although I do acknowledge Still Life is probably the better album. Demon Of The Fall, When and April Ethereal are my go to...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Drove down from Vancouver to the Tacoma show, I found it really weird how much empty space was on the floor between the mix and the back bleachers. For me I think Vancouver last year was stronger but I also wonder how much of my enjoyment was impacted by the odd empty space compared to being...

    Saxon

    I recall an interview of them talking about a Canadian tour and western USA in the fall, I suspect that has been pushed to early 2025 so that they can coincide it with the festival
