What a great album. If this is their last, they are going out with a bang. 48 minutes (no need to release overlong albums!) of great Rolling Stones music.
I know it’s only rock and roll, but I like it!

I have tried really hard to like modern Saxon, but I think that they are trying too hard to sound too heavy. Good albums, don’t get me wrong, but they do not touch me, they leave me completely cold. Their early 80s output is a different story, featuring some of the best British metal albums of all time.

I know it's not all that popular to like A Twist in the Myth in general (and yes, the production and mixing are quite ghastly), but not only do I not feel that way regarding the album in general, this particular song is among my absolute favourites by the band.
It might be for cryptic reasons connected with the fact I tend to get a certain type of emotion therefrom, which is an approach that altogether resigns from perpetuating the notion of there being any semblance of a reviewer's objectivity, but you have to do what you have to do, right?
Fun fact, this was one of the songs I had in my nominations list for the Greatest Metal Song Cup... and it was one of those that left very, very late (in fact, one of the lastest songs to be eliminated), the primary reason being both me and wifey thinking it lacks the "general appeal", beyond my own personal preference.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to reading Tad Williams.

Whatever you may think of REO Speedwagon as a band, there is no denying that Gary Richrath was a complete badass guitar player.
Also, the Midnight Special YouTube channel is rapidly becoming the MVP of the Internet. Speaking of badass:

You know, I completely accept and respect that this is the song you either hate or love. I'm not sure how to be in between.
Honestly, I feel like I tangibly experience both. I often feel like I hate it and love it at the same time. Either it's the most flawed perfect song ever, or the most immaculate trainwreck of all time. Both. Neither. Dunno.

Otherland - agreed about A Twist in the Myth being good. It has the catchiest hooks by far and more variety than the other post-Nightfall albums. It took some time but I grew to love every song on it, Otherland was actually the last one cause the chorus is too bombastic for me. Everything else though is great, feels like Fly in a lot of ways.
And Then There Was Silence - suffers heavily from the production, more than ATitM I'd say. There's just too much going on there, and the frenetic nature of the song doesn't help. The individual parts range from good to high-points-of-the-discography, but too often it sounds like this:
They got it a lot better with the At the Edge of Time epics imo.
