 | OmairSh These are some of the best and most interesting covers I've heard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUlKrFiOkJQ, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNplxtMOjQw
|
 | klap thanks man that's much appreciated
|
| OmairSh I've been rec'd Kayo Dot, the debut. Have planned to get round to it, can't say when though
|
| OmairSh Disturbed m/, they were the band that got me into the aggressive s***. Don't listen to them anymore though
|
| OmairSh No I've memorised Weather Systems, love it. Looking forward to the one after WS :P
|
| OmairSh Also when it comes to Leprous Bilaterals the most difficult to get into :P. Tall Poppy syndromes also a really good album
|
| OmairSh really good album, looking forward to their next one
|
| OmairSh Yeah I used to scoff at people who complimented Anathema and insulted DT, but now I understand. Anathemas a great band and their latest 2 records are pretty damn good, lots of passion and honesty
|
| OmairSh Exactly, the album seemed so random and incoherent after my first few listens. Come back to it later, it will definitely grow
|
| OmairSh Wow that was quick, already rated. But its not an easy listen, takes time to grow, also you hate the vocals? ........O_O
|
| OmairSh Push it up the bucket list m/. Bucket lists are always massive :-/, too much music
|
| OmairSh Leprous represents the future of prog, very impressive band
|
| OmairSh These 2 are from their latest album http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi8NyQvhCUc,,,,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9o2nVY8FZ0,,, dude the vocals have ripped me a new asshole
|
| OmairSh Dude why the f haven't you jammed Leprous? You want quality modern prog metal (and one of the reasons new DT albums piss me off) then check Leprous' Bilateral, mind boggling album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=986iAyQpr1U,,,,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUN3IZOXUcY,,,,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gENgdGTU5Jo,,, and the vocals OMFG
|
| OmairSh I think people like you and me that used to breath DT are the most disppointed, but in your case you've learnt to accept whatever teh band does, which is good since it helps you enjoy the music more.
|
| OmairSh wtf you like the new DT? :D
|
 | Atari hey man sorry i didn't have time to read your review yet but i will today!
|
| Atari Yeah man king crimson rules of course ill check it out I'm not home right now but ill check it out tonight :)
|

|
| Atari yeah it was awesome hawaii was amazing. sucks going back to work it's been a long week lol. Once I get my laptop fixed I should be more active with writing reviews again though. I'll get back to you about the big big train review ;)
|
| Atari will do buddy : ) my bad i've been super busy still trying to get back in the swing of things
|
| Atari Hey man! I'm actually in Hawaii on my honeymoon just got married on Saturday ;) look forward to reading your reviews when I get back in town
|
 | Cygnatti You should probably know that nick butler is no longer an active member of the site.
|
| Atari by the way we're doing a site poll : P do you like the old layout or the new layout better? (assuming you saw them both)
|
| Atari hehe i listened to and liked the flower kings ever since you reviewed them a couple months back ;) genesis rules honestly prog is my favorite genre. great review by the way so you like the new site layout for melting album reviews?
|
| Atari Unfortunately I'm not home right now send thelastsignal a shout he can prolly help u ;)
|
| Atari stoked you're joining melting albums man ;) you should post that strawbs review there if you're still working on it hehe
|
 | Gnocchi does that cover enough info for you, and i will : ]
|
| Gnocchi Dr.Satchafunkus ; ] i'll email you our site docs : ]
|
| Gnocchi If you dnt wanna use it that's cool, but i do have a couple of guys that have it just for the staff page
|
| Gnocchi No Faceybook? If not that's cool, I sent you the page invite, glad to have you on board!
|
| Gnocchi Sure thing dude, the staff all help out with that kind of stuff collectively, or i could help out if you don't want everybody else involved
|
| Gnocchi I no longer work for TAR, this is my site where things are cool and nobodies power hungry, it's more of an actual team thing. if you'd like a look - http://meltingalbumreviews.wordpress.com/
|
| Gnocchi minimum three a month, could be a combination of review plus news post plus streams post, as long as it = 3
|
| Gnocchi me too, a hobby is just being turned serious is all: ]
|
| Atari Dude. I LOVE strawbs! What album?
|
| Atari thanks man sorry for the late response been crazy busy hehe. got any reviews coming up lately? I recently listened to that horslips album you reviewed and it's fantastic.
|
 | SgtPepper Pretty good, I guess. I suppose nothing has changed much. By the way, I love your profile picture.
|
 | Jethro42 Woah Spocks Beard are preparing a new album? Sweet. Well I'd like to see Triumvirat - Spartacus being reviewed, or Mostly Autumn - The Last Bright Light. You can consult my last list as well. Cheers, bro. http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=119293
|
 | NightmareCinema16 Gonna be mostly innactive for a few months, folks. Will still take shoutbox comments, though.
|
| Atari Nice man. I still say your summary for that cactus album is like the best summary I've ever seen ;)
|
| Atari hey man how you been? yeah it has been a while ;) glad to see you reviewing though again though keep it up!
|
 | Trebor. I have no expectations for new black sabbath
|
| Trebor. David Bowie yeah. Pretty much everything comes out in april
|
| SgtPepper If you want to get promoted write reviews for new releases. You can still write for old albums, like I do, but balance that with new releases- new stuff is your ticket to getting promoted. But about me, I am enjoying it. It just takes getting used to. I was a user for 6 months, then I got promoted to contributor, now 6 months later I'm staff. So i'm just a freshmen here. I still feel like the new kid trying to fit in with everyone.
|
| SgtPepper Thanks. But to be honest, I don't feel like a 'staff' member. I didn't even feel like a 'contributor' on my first promotion. I still feel like a regular user. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing though. I feel very out-of-place.
|
| SgtPepper Yeah, it is. But the album has a more classic prog feel than Porcupine Tree. Imagine a combination between Yes, King Crimson, Camel, and The Alan Parson's Project.
|
| SgtPepper Oh hey, mate. Those are good albums. I've been into Steven Wilson's new album lately, it's actually really good. I dont know if you're heard it but check it out:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYfQ1I-VV7M (This one is called "Luminol")
|
| SgtPepper I just found out about them from AngelOfDeath's list. have yet to hear them though. What would be a good place to start?
|
| OmairSh The second last album is also fantastic, most people prefer that one to Weather Systems.
|
| OmairSh No no no, dude Anathema was doom wayyy back in the day, they're post-prog/atmospheric rock now, and don't worry about there being any growls, I wet myself once I heard the vocal performances on this.
|
| OmairSh YO Nightmare listen to Weather Systems by Anathema, it might take a while to properly appreciate but once you do, my God. Their latest 2 albums are great.
|
| SgtPepper I'm good. How are you, gotten into any good music lately? As for me, I've been regressing into some of my old 60s psych rock bands. Have you heard of Gandalf? I'm about to review them. here's a link if you want to check them out:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NcdjLUD9Hs
|
| Atari Nope never heard of them bit I Just noticed u reviewed them. I'll have to check them out!
|
| Atari Very nice i haven't heard much classical to be honest. and no problem man honestly you're reviews are pretty good. they're not perfect but neither are mine. All that should matter is that you enjoy writing not necessarily what other people think of you.
|
| Atari well i'm glad you're feeling better i guess there's a pretty nasty flu going around. don't worry about the site's expectations man just write and be passionate and it should all work out :)
|
| Atari Hey buddy Sry I forgot to respond to your last shout, how u been?
|
| Atari Hey man i'm pretty good just have a lot more shopping to do. How's your holidays going? (apart from not feeling good : ( )
|
| Atari ok man thanks for letting me know i'll check it out when i have the chance.
|
| Atari No rush man take your time!
|
| Atari Did a Bing Crosby review check it out man ;) also i'm looking forward to your mannheim steamroller review!
|
 | Mikesn Well that's happened a lot this year haha. But lately I've just been crazy busy with school so I haven't had much time to write.
|
 | SirArthur6 Thanks for the shout! The Rachmaninoff review was my first properly thought out review so I'm glad that it seems to be all right. I think that more could be going on in the classical side of sputnik so I'll probably end up writing another classical review soon.
|
 | Irving Well not really the Users list per se (because I can't exactly vote there haha), but yeah, putting together my personal Best of 2012 has been tricky. So far I've got a rough Top 7 sorted out, but beyond that...ugh. Why though?
|
| SgtPepper Sorry for the late response. That's Good to hear, man. I have to buy some presents myself for friends/family. The holiday season is nice, but can be a real hassle.
|
 | Insurrection well if you enjoy progressive metal id definitely recommend the new between the buried and me album. even wrote a 5 review for it, it quickly became one of my favorites.
|
| Insurrection ive been going through something similar. been a real lazy ass these past few months, at least reviewing gives us something productive to do hah.
|
| Insurrection i appreciate it man, i like yours too. you should write more
|
| SgtPepper I'm pretty good. Can't complain. How've you been, mate?
|
| SgtPepper I've thought about it for a whille, but it has quite a few 5 rated reviews already, and those reviews covered everything pretty well. But I might review it for my 100th. It's a fantastic album. Also, just wanted to say that I really love your reviews. It's good to see more prog fans on this site.
|
| Jethro42 these bands all have some albums that are not covered yet. Feel free to ask me which one needs a review the most; Triumvirat, Supertramp, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Alan Parsons Project, Traffic, Horslips, Sinkadus, Dogma, Sebastian Hardie, Karmakanic, Arena, Mostly Autumn, Landberk, After crying, Finisterre...
|
| Jethro42 well, maybe half the way. If you want to do a complete one, feel free.
|
| Gnocchi See? I didn't try and got the feature. You'll get it one day
|
| Gnocchi If you want some kind of improvement, ask someone on the site to proofread, We seem to be less of dicks if you guys ask first and not assume your s***ting gold.
|
| Jethro42 Sup yourself, dude. Well I'm pretty much less active since a while indeed, but I'm never too far. I just have less time on my hands to do some reviews for now.
|
| NightmareCinema16 At work on The Whirlwind by Transatlantic. Review should be done in about 3-5 days.
|
| Jethro42 You're right. I take good note, but I dont have time on my hands to write anything these days. It might change in a near future though.
|
| NightmareCinema16 Next review will be in about 4-7 days. Any want 2 help with proofreading?
|
| NightmareCinema16 Not working of A Farewell to Kings review. Anybody want to help with some proofreading when I'm done?
|
| Jethro42 Much appreciated, dude. We concentrate on albums that are not covered yet. That way, we are the proggiest thing on sputnik =] Keep on progging!
|
| Jethro42 Thanks for the proposition, dude. I'm not writing as regularly as before. If ever Nagrarok was too busy to help me, Ill be sure to ask you.
|
| Jethro42 It's a collaboration between Nagrarok and me. I write the reviews and he does the corrections (I'm French) http://www.sputnikmusic.com/profile.php?name=ProgJect
|
| NightmareCinema16 I going to take a break from ratings and start writing more reviews. Next review will come out on Saturday.
