[QUOTE=i_am_Jimmy_Page]Uh, I need some help, this is a sort of fixed recomendation.

I'm going into town tommorow, to buy 2112 by Rush, that's for sure.

But I'm not 100% sure what else to get, I was thinking, Hemispheres or Carress Of Steel, both by Rush.

Or maybe even a Dream Theater album, I.E which is the best Dream Theater album.[/QUOTE]

On Dream Theater:
Train Of thought is Very Heavy and Shreddy.
Scenes From a Memory has heavy moments, mellow moments and lot's of technical moments. IMO it contains all of the classic Dream Theater elements, and is there most rounded album.
Falling Into Infinity is overal Mellow.
Awake is again a mix of Heavyness and Mellowness.
Six Degrees of Inner turbulence has it's heavy moments, and also it's mellow momments.

I have most of these over AIM if you want.

[QUOTE=3rdplanet]Crystal Mountain and Voice of the Soul are great Death songs. Pretty much all I have by them, but they are my faves.

Symphony X wise, Fallen is easy to get and listen to. They are on my to check out list too, so any recommendations yiou recieve I will probably check out aswell.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, of Symphony X I've only heard Sea of Lies, great song and its convinced me to check them out further. Thanks for the Death songs, anyone have any more recammendations for me?

IAJP 02-11-2005 12:15 PM

Cheers, thanks to everyone for that.
I've heard good things about Medopalis Pt. 2, are these not ill found?

3rdplanet 02-11-2005 12:20 PM

Metropolis Pt 2 is part of the name for Scenes from a Memory, and Scenes...is considered by many to be their master piece.

I agree, in part, Scenes has some cringe worthy moments on it.

IAJP 02-11-2005 12:23 PM

[U][B]Norther[/B][/U]
Blackhearted,
Betrayed,
Of Darkness And Light.

[U][B]Symphony X[/B][/U]
Into The Dementia,
Lesson Before Dying,
Through The Looking Glass (part I II III).

I'm afraid I don't know much by the other bands, sorry :(

Its Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory

Lots of people say its their best, I disagree. Its a great album, but IMO Images and Words, Awake, and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence are better.

Bartender 02-11-2005 01:07 PM

[QUOTE=MAthiAS]Alright, my list of bands I need recammendations for right now:
Stratovarius
Kalmah
Norther
Symphony X
Death[/QUOTE]

Stratovarius; my immediate reccomendation would be simply "steer clear" (unless you're already hugely into power metal, I suppose). If you're determined though, try Hunting High and Low, Millenium or Infinity.

Kalmah;
Heroes to Us
Burbot's Revenge
The Third, The Magical
Bird of Ill Omen
Heritance of Berija
Black Roija

Death - earlier;
Infernal Death
Evil Dead
Zombie Ritual
Scream Bloody Gore

Death - later
Flattening of Emotions
Crystal Mountain
Voice of the Soul
Suicide Machine

[/QUOTE]
What do you have against them? And thanks for the other reccomendations.

IAJP 02-11-2005 03:11 PM

Meh, I suppose power metal isn't [I]everyones[/I] bag, like mine for example.

Each to his own.

Gnostica 02-11-2005 03:37 PM

SickoKid 02-11-2005 03:50 PM

Can someone recommend me some other music that is along the lines of Tool, APC and Opeth? Progressive type stuff is what i'm looking for. Thanks

I really like power metal, I just don't like Stratovarius much.

Band - Albums - Songs

Thrash -
Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying, Killing is my Business... and Business is Good, Rust in Peace - Holy Wars, Peace Sells, Wake Up Dead, Rattlehead, Skull Beneath the Skin, Loved to Deth, Tornado of Souls

Slayer - Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, Seasons in the Abyss - Angel of Death, Raining Blood, Postmortem, South of Heaven, Mandatory Suicide, Seasons in the Abyss

Anthrax - Among the Living - Among the Living, Caught in a Mosh

Testament - The Legacy, The New Order, Practice What You Preach - Into the Pit, The New Order, Disciples of the Watch, Practice What You Preach, Sins of Omission

Exodus - Bonded By Blood, Fabulous Disaster, Tempo of the ****ed - Bonded By Blood, A Lesson in Violence, Piranha, Toxic Waltz, Tempo of the ****ed

As for death metal I'd reccomend Morbid Angel's album Covenant or Altars of Madness and Nile's In Their Darkened Shrines and At the Catacombs.

EDIT: To the guy who asked for Anthrax, that song is off of Among the Living, a very good album to start with.

Hahaha, thanx for the reccomendation mate, but im actually a chick, dont u think its even the slightest bit obvious that 'Tayla' is something a chick would have as their name on here? :)

I didn't even look at your name, and I'm surprised you cared enough to post about it. Meh.

ReadBooks 02-12-2005 12:21 AM

i've been listening to bands such as korn, sepultura, rage, and system. what are some of their best albums/songs and what other good bands are along the same lines as them as far as quality and music type?

Huber 02-12-2005 02:04 AM

No RATM album will dissappoint you Get them all.

Systems first two albums are the better ones, but Steal This Album! is still worth picking up.

I don't know much Korn or Sepultra.

[QUOTE=ReadBooks]i've been listening to bands such as korn, sepultura, rage, and system. what are some of their best albums/songs and what other good bands are along the same lines as them as far as quality and music type?[/QUOTE]

For Sepultura, listen to these albums, and only these albums

[U][B]Schizophernia[/B][/U]
-From the Past comes the Storms
-To the Wall
-Escape to the Void
-Screams behind the Shadows
-The Abyss
-R.I.P (Rest in Pain)
-Troops of Doom

[U][B]Beneath the Remains[/B][/U]
-Beneath the Remains
-Inner Self
-Stronger Than Hate
-Mass Hypnosis
-Slaves of Pain
-Lobotomy

[U][B]Arise[/B][/U]
-Arise
-Dead Embryonic Cells
-Desperate Cry
-Subtraction
-Altered States


Also check out their Live album (Under A Pale Grey Sky Live), it won't dissapoint for a Sepultura fan, and that was the album that mainly got me into Sepultura. If you want, try Morbid Visions and Chaos A.D as well, but they're both weaker than the three albums above.

Bartender 02-12-2005 11:01 AM

I think he was saying that he already listens to Korn, Sepultura, SOAD and RATM, and wants further recommendations.

CaptainWaits 02-12-2005 11:07 AM

[QUOTE=ReadBooks]i've been listening to bands such as korn, sepultura, rage, and system. [B]what are some of their best albums/songs[/B][/QUOTE]

I was replying to that right there

Bartender 02-12-2005 11:08 AM

Ah. Sorry. Have some rep.

MAthiAS 02-12-2005 11:10 AM

As far as further recommendations... for Sepultura-like bands, just check my post on this page with all the thrash recommendations. If you like Korn and SOAD, you'll probably like other nu-metal bands. I personally don't, but from what I hear Mudvayne is better than the rest.

CaptainWaits 02-12-2005 11:22 AM

[QUOTE=Bartender]Ah. Sorry. Have some rep.[/QUOTE]

Yeh no problem dude. And by the way, thanks a ton for that rep, it does me quite good :)

Death Unlimited 02-12-2005 11:27 AM

That page has tons of Maiden songs listed.

And Bartender thanks for the rep.
