Lost Horizon is awesome.

So, ok. I came home today to a terrific email message awaiting me.

[SIZE="7"]SYMPHONY X IS PLAYING MAY 25TH AT B.B. KINGS![/SIZE]

Stoic 02-08-2007 03:01 PM

Are you going? :rolleyes::p

MetalOz 02-08-2007 03:17 PM

Is LePond back? Why do you get a show and I don't?! Usually when they tour, there's a date near me within a few days of playing at B.B. King's

Shattered_Future 02-08-2007 03:44 PM

Tickets aren't even on sale to the general public yet though. I'm sure more dates will be announced later.

[QUOTE=Hardhat;14164038]Some of the notes he hit were inhumanly high. I love his voice, it's so great. I didn't know he left, though.:eek:[/QUOTE]

From those there, I'd listen to [B]World Through My Fateless Eyes[/B] and [B]Sworn In The Metal Wind[/B] first.

Tyler 02-08-2007 05:45 PM

i seriously can't wait to get their first album in the mail. im not going to download it either.

Riva 02-08-2007 05:47 PM

Dude, it rocks, I have both in hardcopy form and I love them. Their artwork is sometimes atrocious though, but cool in its own cheesy way. :D

Tyler 02-08-2007 05:54 PM

Nah, their artwork is perfectly reasonable when you listen to their music. I was going to order A Flame To... but it was out of stock. I'll be checking the used album store frequently though.

Riva 02-08-2007 05:58 PM

No, I mean there's a shot of a sunset that looks cool, but from a photography perspective is pretty amateur.

According to my ex, at least. :p

Tyler 02-08-2007 06:49 PM

That must be in the album inserts or something. I'm referring to album covers exclusively. AMG gave their first album 1.5/5...wtf?

Riva 02-08-2007 08:01 PM

Dude, I gave their first album a 5/5, and the second 4.5. And we all know how good my judgement is.

*sagenod me*

Tyler 02-08-2007 08:03 PM

Their second is a definite 5/5 in my book

Riva 02-08-2007 08:10 PM

I guess so, especially since it has Pure and Highlander (The One).

At the time I liked [I]Awakening The World[/I] better.

NP: Lost Horizon - Heart Of Storm

I love Daniel's accent. "And now waa stud there ay to ay" and then Wojtek and Martin say in the background "Eye to eye".

I wouldn't rely on AMG that much, especially for metal....

Tyler 02-08-2007 08:58 PM

I still like AMG

CaptainWaits 02-08-2007 09:15 PM

[QUOTE=Cocaine;14167937]I still like AMG[/QUOTE]
It's good for giving you information about certain artists, but it doesn't have a very reliable rating system, IMO at least.

However, AMG is one of the main places that has introduced me to a ton of bands. The others being MA and here....

NP: Xavier Rudd - Food In the Belly (the album)

Riva 02-08-2007 09:16 PM

I love that Tom Waits avatar, mate. (I hope it's Tom Waits, since I was almost certain I have that album).

CaptainWaits 02-08-2007 09:23 PM

[QUOTE=Riva;14168157]I love that Tom Waits avatar, mate. (I hope it's Tom Waits, since I was almost certain I have that album).[/QUOTE]
It is :)

It's a painting of the "Nighthawks At the Diner" album. I love the look. So a Tom Waits fan then eh? Good to hear. He's absolutely brilliant, and hands down without question my favorite musician, songwriter, lyric writer, etc, etc.

Stoic 02-10-2007 12:21 PM

Hooray, Slough Feg listening party! Support :mad:

Tyler 02-10-2007 12:27 PM

I know I've asked this before, but have you guys listened to [I]Manticora[/I]? Their new release, to be specific?

I really, really enjoy it. It's slightly darker Power Metal with a distinct progressive slant, yet it somehow manages to be a fun concept album about a twisted circus. I highly recommend it to you. Plus it's always nice to hear a Power Metal singer whose voice doesn't abuse his upper register.

Stoic 02-10-2007 12:32 PM

I have a Manticora album here somewhere. I remember liking their style but found the vocalist rather annoying. Now that you said it I should check them out again, who knows they might have changed vocalist or he might have improved.

Tyler 02-10-2007 12:40 PM

As far as I know they've always had the same vocalist. At times his voice is a little dull, at others it's a little forced, yet I still really, really enjoy it. [I]The Black Circus Part 1 - Letters[/I] is the album I have.

[url]http://www.myspace.com/manticorarocks[/url]

Listen to "Forever Carousel", it's what led me to check the album out.

Stormrider 02-10-2007 12:44 PM

Listening to it now. T'is pretty cool. I might have to check this album out.

I can see why the singer could have annoyed Stoic, though.

Tyler 02-10-2007 12:46 PM

I just love the way the song sort of pauses, and then goes, FAAAASTEEEEEEEEEER! I think a lot of the issues with the album/group are a result of the production, it's a little flat.

Stormrider 02-10-2007 12:49 PM

Okay, that song was actually pretty sweet. You still have a link to the album( if that's what you used) ?

Tyler 02-10-2007 12:50 PM

I could find one probably. If not, maybe I'll upload it. I'm bored and it looks like my plans for the day are falling through.

Stormrider 02-10-2007 12:52 PM

Okay, well thanks if you do upload it :)

I'm listening to the other song ont eh myspace, Playing God. I rather the vocals on this song me thinks.
