 | evilford I know man...some days thats all that keeps me going
|
 | zakalwe There is always the roots. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G4fUTuiURag
|
| zakalwe Have to be in the mood for anything these days lol but what they represent and how they do it is commendable
|
| zakalwe Haha the filth nabbed you in the end as well I see mate. I was exactly the same just couldn?t bear them for decades but the last 4 albums have all been amazing. The new one is an absolute belter.

|
 | budgie WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
|
| budgie sup bro im drunk ! wheeeeeeeeeeeee
|
| budgie bro check this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BJxVpQhWCQ
|
| budgie SSSSSSSSSSSAAAATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
|
 | OmairSh Glad to hear all is well at your end! Same here, getting through the winter and waiting for spring and summer haha. Yeah I agree, the new DT is good but it?s more of the same but with longer songs and Portnoy?s more Groove heavy drumming. I actually started liking their more concise songwriting on DoT and wish they would compose more song oriented music vs the typical long instrumental jam heavy songs. But it?s still nice having Portnoy back, going to see them live in March!
|
| OmairSh Btw theres a young Thrash band Tabahi from Pakistan that has a pretty cool old school influenced album that I reviewed which you might enjoy :-). Don?t worry the lyrics are in English! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/89435/Tabahi-Thrash-for-Justice/
|
| OmairSh Chris my brother what?s up! How?ve you been man? Enjoying the new Dream Theater album? I?ve listened to it only a couple of times and need to digest it more but it feels like they consciously constructed the album with a bit of all the typical DT elements, rather than taking chances
|
| budgie im a cooorpse, im a coooorpse, im a cooorpse without a sooooooooooul
|
| budgie SATAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN
|
| budgie yo happy new years bitch hope youre killin it hail satan
|
 | JayEnder Then I'm sure you can attest to how crazy s*** is down there haha. What happened to Pat just seems like your average day in Florida. My buddy moved down there awhile back and got chased by a wild pitbull his first day down lol
|
| JayEnder Yo bro, I stumbled across Ford's shoutbox and I just gotta tell ya. I've watched that Centuries of Torment doc about a hundred times by now haha. Probably the most entertaining doc I've ever seen. Not one boring second and every single human being in that video is the funniest, most likable person ever. Metalheads really are the chillest people in the world I swear haha
|
| evilford I haven't seen it! Didn't even really dig CC til probably 2 months ago but I'm getting pretty into their s*** now
|
 | Confessed2005 Sure have! Sput isn't what it used to be anymore but I still enjoy posting here.
|
 | bighubbabuddha Is In Rainbows Disc 2 really a 5?I like last flowers and bangers mash for sure
|
| zakalwe And you mate. Hope you are well
|
| mandan You really love Promised Land (Ryche), don't you?
|
 | ToSmokMuzyki and even if he did he's still more kvlt than you LOL
|
| ToSmokMuzyki btw since ryus doesnt claim to be a mhead he cant be a poseur
|
| ToSmokMuzyki wow youre the real man aint ya no wonder you love pantera so much
|
| ToSmokMuzyki nah the soundwaves are all the same i wouldve dismissed pantera then for the same reason i do now - theres an infinity of so much better
|
| ToSmokMuzyki so? we'd headbang together there but i wouldnt be at the pantera show unless you were dragging me there
|
 | Muzz79 Yeah pal mainly ignore it but sometimes you gotta bite back and set tte record straight. At least we know the history of metal
|
| OmairSh Heyy dude I?m doing well, wife finally immigrated so I?ve been spending time with her. You tell everything at your end? How?s the family?
|
 | ArsMoriendi Saw you commented somewhere and was like ?oh Titan is back!? Haha
|
| ArsMoriendi I bet you'd like Goat's new album Requiem. It's very psych rock, but in a way I bet you'd dig. Or not idk
|
| zakalwe lol. You and ya ****in exile
|
 | FreakMachine shame :( i do miss his relentless banhammer clapping me down
|
| evilford Looks like you're getting into some dm. Ya love to see it
|
 | Willie I have a significant music backlog right now because of Starfield and Balder's Gate, but I'll bump Tesseract to the top of my list.
|
 | Drifter nice Ice T ratings. one of the greatest rappers
|
 | Koris I still do, mostly because of how inconsistent he is. On certain albums like Nightmare and HTTK, he sounds absolutely fantastic. But then on CoE and The Stage, his voice sounds either too nasally or completely shot. Sucks too, because those are two favorite A7X albums :[
|
| Koris Just separated the paragraph. I?ll see what I can do :]
|
 | MisogynysticTryhard Hey man! Cheers to you for such a heartfelt message. Good to know that caring people exist out there. Things will get better eventually lol
|
| Muzz79 Innit interesting how much a difference is makes. Just take the Too far gone riff, it sounds just like the Frayed Ends of Sanity riff before the solo. Goes to show theyre still writing stuff similar to their heyday
|
| Muzz79 Yeah sure I?ll jam it on your suggestion. Dk the band?s music as well as I should. But I really enjoyed new Obituary recently who I also wasnt fully across
|
 | TheNotrap Cheers mate, I listened to it once at work and really enjoyed it, I'll give it another spin today. I wasn't planning on reviewing it as I need to start focusing on the new Enforced coming out next week, but let's see how the weekend goes.
|
| Muzz79 That?s awesome an original pressing of Justice. Nice. I still got my black album cassette tape which I played endlessly. Good times
|
| Muzz79 Hey titan good to see you round mate. Another Metallica album eh. First one I remember coming out was the black album it took over the world haha
|
 | KILL life is sweet bro i'm rockin hard to wishbone ash atm hows life for u me ol mucker
|
| TheNotrap Hahah still need to check the album bro, gonna fix that this weekend.
|
| OmairSh I?m good man, haha married life is almost the same as single life so far since she?s still back in Pakistan :-P. Waiting for her visa, which hopefully arrives by Oct. How?re things at your end? How?s the family?
|
| OmairSh Aloha, from one titan to another
|
| ToSmokMuzyki anyway way to be the hypocrite and not talk abt music nerd
|
| Koris Alright, I'll definitely consider it. Better yet, maybe I can do a discog review of Marillion once I'm done with the ones I'm doing now :]
|
| Koris I might review it eventually, although I haven't been doing many writeups for older albums these days. Awesome album though!
|
| Koris Just following up on the last shoutbox post, lol
|
| Koris Hey, what's up? Sorry I didn't get to your shoutbox message earlier, I was taking a break from Sput at the time
|
 | Jethro42 As you can see, finally we found an outsider contestant (Twig) who votes rather regularly. You can participate anytime you want. You just have to listen to both albums at least once, and you have to vote. Cheers bro, and félicitations for your young family!
|
| Jethro42 Hey Titan, could you listen to two accessible prog albums, I'd give you couple of days to choose your favorite one. You would be the tie breaker for the match 4 of our prog tourney. Feel free oc. Shoutbox me if you're interested. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Hi Titan, sup...Do you have news from Omairsh? What happened?
|
| zakalwe if sput is the pit then I am the fella windmilling trying to get it into these brats mushed minds that they have not got a clue
|
 | Egarran It's always been like that. I am proud of you.
|
 | DominionMM1 Have you checked pelican or russian circles?
|
| DominionMM1 They?re a bit hit or miss for. I really like sath though.
|
| DominionMM1 Gotcha. I?m definitely going but I?m still deciding where the seats will be and how much I?m willing to pay. Not sure if $200-250 would be worth it for GA.
|
| DominionMM1 hey man I?m assuming you?ve seen iron maiden live recently yeah? what?s their show look like nowadays?
|
 | SitarHero Haha! You too titan bro. :) Although, full disclosure, I was mostly quoting sint's pasta back at him. I mean, I don't disagree with the sentiment, but it's just comically ironic coming from him and I wonder if he's self-aware enough to grasp it.
|
| DominionMM1 yeah the avs are winning but they cant play defense and their goaltending is mediocre. if they keep playing like the have been, theyll have a great regular season only to get rolled in the playoffs.
|
 | MrSirLordGentleman How you doing bro, I think you might like this one if you haven't checked it yet. Some quality raw NWOBHM. Has a Di'Anno's era Maiden vibe to it imo https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/56212/Jaguar-Power-Games/
|
 | BigPleb LOSSSSTT IN A LOOOOOSSSTTT WOOOOOOORRRLLLDDDDDD
|
| BigPleb Death of the Celts as well, oh my lord.
|
| BigPleb This new Maiden album man, they've done it again! Outro to Lost World keeps giving me chills.
|
| DominionMM1 just did and...uh...its certainly a song so theres that
|
| DominionMM1 havent listened in years honestly. i just remember thinking it sucked when i spun it way back when. maybe ill give it another shot.
|
| Jethro42 Also, number 37, Ianni Gourde is my little (or grand?) cousin. We've never met each other , though.
|
| Jethro42 I'm happy for you that you assisted to the game 7. Normal it was loud. Oh, and you're already in for a game 7 for Tampa and Montreal? In Montreal, there's a maximum of 3,500 people, and they're loud. Imagine when they are 22,000 people. I'm prepared for a rough finals. I have hope for a Stanley Cup in Montreal even if there's a lot of stars in Tampa. Both teams have to work hard to succeed.
|
| Jethro42 And dude, try to show more love for Tampa since you live there, and as they are the best team of the league!
|
| Jethro42 Yes, my friend. A stanley cup would be welcome, the last one being in 1993. The Habs are like a furious, invincible train these days, it's unbelievable. Everything turns around Carey Price's fortress. The finals will be a hard task either way. Islanders because of their playing system, and Lightening because of their offensive and goalie. Good finals to come. Have good ones!
|
 | ResidentNihilist Man sorry about trolling you. I've just had a bad week and haven't been coping too well.
|
| OmairSh https://youtu.be/qpsLcm3LnL8
|
| Jethro42 New information; 25, 15 (which make you become a proghead) and to finish, 13. It makes more sense.
|
| OmairSh Bilateral live in FULL dude! https://munin.live/promo/leprous_bilateral_coal/
|
| OmairSh That's good to hear man, glad your family is safe and well. That's the most important thing nowadays. I'm good man, started a new job in Jan, so far so good. Trying not to be too lazy with my guitar learning, but I've been enjoying it more than I expected overall tbh
|
| OmairSh Haha yeah I know you'll only rate albums that you've given a decent number of spins to. Thanks my dude! First time I applied since I joined haha. Still don't know what I'll be reviewing first. How're things with the family? Kids doing well?
|
| OmairSh Sup dude, how've you been? 2k ratings woot wooot
|
| budgie HELLO MOTHER HELLO FATHER
|
| budgie whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats up daddy
|
 | sonictheplumber ah lol its an old joint account between jethro and nag where they reviewed obscure prog records
|
| sonictheplumber yeah we both joined around 06/07 so in a sense we sort of grew up together musically, although he's 4 years older than me. so are you doin progject with jethro or something lol?
|
| sonictheplumber sup. KILL is good, just doesnt use the site anymore. he's on facebook
|
| Jethro42 It's not the first time we approach the possibility of a ProgJect return. And now, time has probably come. It's only for a review, but we never know where it could lead us. Thanks in advance for your support and enthusiasm, bro. It's much appreciated. And yes, Nag and me are forming a solid team. Let's hold the prog torch very high. P/
|
| Jethro42 Hi Titanbro, you surely remember that prog album from Il Giardino di Onirico. Well me and Nagrarok will possibly make a (short?)return under the ProgJect account and I intend to review their last album. I really like that band. Their first one is also great. Maybe you'd prefer that one. More heavy, more varied. Would be cool if you'd rate the one you had listened to. I'd be not alone anymore for the votes. I hope you're doing fine! Cheers!
|
| Egarran Likewise. And also those question marks below were hearts.
|
| evilford Huh. Im sorry u got that impression. I enjoy your presence on the site. :-)
|
| evilford I know we don't interact much man but I can see you're a good dude and I'm glad ur on the site!
|
| zakalwe Definitely bro. My first digs into the band were the Hogarth stuff. I loved Brave when I first heard it. FEAR and marbles are quality. I really like that with friends orchestra stuff they did last year as well.
|
 | kalkwiese Then these guys better have some waltz rhythms, because that would be ****ing cool
|
| OmairSh So I take it you didn't enjoy the new Dark Tranquillity album XD
|
| OmairSh At this rate it'll reach or (gasp) surpass Sympathetic Resonance. You need to slow down playa XD
|
| OmairSh And I was planning to do a video review of it on my channel, but looks like i might have to write one here as well. That 3.5 isn't doing this justice at all. Like at all
|
| OmairSh Haha duuuuude! Didn't expect you love it so much, but that makes me happy to see! Calling it better makes me feel like I'm cheating on Theories :-D, but that's just because this album sounds and feels really different, and I love it. Honestly I'm still dreading that it'll wear off, but on the contrary I've been discovering new layers and enjoying it more. Someone needs to make a statue of Jim outside the Rock and Roll hall of fame God damn
|
| OmairSh Agreed it's a 4 at a minimum. People are 3ing the album dude, embarrassing tbh since the album has more layers than even I was anticipating after the first few listens. Fates will never get the recognition they deserve sadly
|
| OmairSh Don't want to get ahead of myself but I'm really enjoying it atm. Scars is the weakest so far, strange why they chose it as the single
|
| OmairSh Dude LDGN is on Fates' Youtube channel as a playlist already! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_moohShdABN9UCwq9HqlKxuH-S20ZSL3jM
|
| zakalwe Cheers mate. They really didn?t have the look did they lol but you cannot fault Rotherys guitar. Great lyrics as well. Top stuff.
|
 | BallsToTheWall I feel that but I hearWesley Chapel is taking off. That outlet mall slaps.
|
| BallsToTheWall You fancy MF?er! Just went there for the first time last month for a wedding.
|
| OmairSh Haha extreme metal (death, black, etc) was my bread and butter back in the day as a frustrated passive aggressive teen :P. I still listen to it occasionally, but mostly just the same bands I used to back in undergrad. Gotcha, in that case I think you'll like this song at the very least, stunning intro and chorus https://youtu.be/0A2v9No_ey0
|
| OmairSh If you can get past the growls I think you might enjoy this album. Guitar tones and production are absolutely lush https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKjzDU7V7es
|
| DominionMM1 well I guess we get to see if dalton can get it done
|
| OmairSh Yooo dude, I responded to your texts with voice messages last week. Just thought I'd check to see if you received them. If not then I'll respond via text instead. Are you on fb btw? I don't like typing a lot on my phone haha :-P
|
| Jethro42 Arch/Matheos is kinda too heavy at first listen. It's hard to get into it for my virgin ear lol. Could you name your favorite songs out of the album..?
|
| Jethro42 I've tried BTBAM in the past, good stuff in places but for some reason, I've never been hooked. I'd see my 22 yo son digging it for sure. Brb I'll try to give you awesome music suggestions. Thanks for the link! Take this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24Ivyi__s24
|
| OmairSh I've tried a few times in the past but to no avail. I can give them another shot but if it doesn't click then I might take a break and check 'em out again later when I'm in the proper mood :-P. My music mood can fluctuate pretty randomly heh. Any recs?
|
| Jethro42 Sounds like a project, bro. I wasn't that much into music lately. I' feel ready for a change. Let's go for a ride, my man! So, you're always into prog metal? Lots of good stuff in that kind of music.
|
| Jethro42 Hello Titanbro!, First i'm flattered for your kind words, and second, my health is ok. I have my issues; muscular dystrophya, arthrisis with fragile mental health, but it's getting much better. I have a fantastic girl friend in my life, oh man you couldn't believe it. She's my balance and my inspiration. I'm not sure why I decided to give up in here, but I think Nothing is new under the sun...Fun was kinda over. Then I have friends like you, Omair and few other proggers that are holding me back.
|
| OmairSh 13 tracks dude. I have a feeling it's going to be like Darkness more than Theories, with lots of short songs. Production is timid by modern Jim standards. Jarzombek's drums sound pretty tame. Should be a good album but lowering the expectations a tad bit to not get disappointed
|
 | manosg Congrats dude, that's awesome news!
|
| manosg Hey buddy, it sucks that I don't have time anymore to review or participate more on here. How's life? Is everything alright with you?
|
| Egarran That is very considerate. I never really dug Queensryche, but Rush is an embarrassing hole in my music knowledge. Somehow I never got hooked on them but I know I should.Check Be'lakor - Stone's Reach. It's melodeath but I feel many parts are straight Maiden worship.
|
 | NeroCorleone Congrats, Yeah I'm doing good, just been taking this time mostly to catch up on music that I otherwise wouldn't have. Trying not to think too much about all thats going on, even though things are a mess.
|
| NeroCorleone Basically. Site seemed pretty dead during that time so didnt post as much, but its been more alive in the last few months for obvious reasons. I trust you've been holding up well.
|
 | Faenrir https://www.facebook.com/ironmaiden/photos/a.406269382050/10156394562477051/?type=3
|
| OmairSh Ahh of course, I tend to take for granted the difficulty of digesting music of a different language :-P. My baaad. In other news FW13 mixing is complete! I'm sure you saw the already
|
| OmairSh What do you think? (It takes off at 1:30) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZSYDlpInMs
|
| TheNotrap Thanks bro! That means a lot coming from one of the best users this site has ever seen ;)
|
| OmairSh Good to hear from you dude! Hope you and the family are safe during these crazy corona times
|
| OmairSh Hola hermano :-), some more improv s*** from mua https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=673174
|
| OmairSh Heyyy Titan (I know I know :-P), how've you been? How's the family? Stay safe during this corona time. I uploaded a new Pakistani music list that I'm sure has a few songs you'll enjoy. Especially now with all this indoor time we have now :-P https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=191063
|
| OmairSh Yoo. Was in Pakistan for 3 weeks, was a great trip. Spent lots of time with my best friends to help woth wedding prep, and danced A LOT :-D. Spent time with family as well, so it was a good trip. You tell dude, how've things been? How were the holidays?
|
| manosg Happy New Year, dude! All the best to you and your family!
|
| kalkwiese Hey Titan, some months ago you recommended me to listen to The Light and Shade of Things and I didn't forget about it. Just checked it out and I'm surprised at how modern Fates Warning sound there! I mean, they are one of the first prog metal bands and that song sounds fresh. That saying something
|
 | Divaman Hi Titan. Have you got any interest in rec'ing a song for the November Song of the Day list? (https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=189442). The theme for this month is gifts -- rec a song that you like that someone on Sputnik rec'd to you.
|
| OmairSh https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=189530
|
 | Stormheart same titan im chad i never come here i have another board i go on that i take seriously this i dont yet but youy are my first friend on here for sure!
|
| Stormheart thought id say hi and whatnot love you man love reading your posts and up the ****ing irons!
|
| Jethro42 It's always a pleasure to talk to you. You're so friendly and kind with everybody. To answer your question, I have some health issues, but i'm not in danger, although it's hard to live with it. I see our friend Omair goes through some problems too, so my thoughts go to him. Hope life is good for you Titan. See you soon in a thread or another... In Flying Colors, why not ;)
|
| Jethro42 Hey Titanbro, after one spin, I'm not convinced to be sold, but at first glance, it seems to be a good follow up of the last one. Will relisten obviously. Thanks for the head's up!
|
| Willie Hey. I didn?t particularly enjoy Winter Ethereal. It?s good but not nearly as good as it should be.
|
| budgie bump killers n we'll talk
|
| budgie blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
|
| OmairSh Been listening to it every day for a week now. So many great Riffs. Great drumming performances as well. So cool that they featured multiple elite drummers
|
| OmairSh Agreed, I knew that those intricacies would reveal themselves after a few listens
|
| OmairSh Sput cut off more than half of my message. **** it
|
| OmairSh I'm enjoying how heavy the new A/M record is. I would have liked some more mellow moments, but the songwriting is still strong. Arch never seemed like the sex,drug, rock
|
| OmairSh Its amazing that Arch still has so much power in his vocals at this age. I guess it helps when you're not on a constant album/tour cycle every 2 years for 30 years. Jim's so prolific it's ridiculous. He just keeps delivering the goods. New Fates album next year as well. I'm still digesting the A/M album, and TOF still feels fresh, but I'm so looking forward to it
|
| OmairSh Glitch. Yeah I know you like Arch era FW. I definitely prefer A/M over early FW though
|
| OmairSh That Matheos comment was me btw hah. How're things dude?
|
| kalkwiese Thanks for the recommendation, man. I though about it lately and I think I will check them out in the near future. I'm going to see Tesseract, Jinjer and The Hirsch Effekt live pretty soon though and I still need to into their stuff atm
|
 | Looks like Matheos knows the secret to your musical heart ;-)
|
| Jethro42 Thanks for your wishes bro, everything is all right. I thought you could choose a Rush album, but we need a band that gets less than 30 votes or ratings. You could pick up Flying Colors though, but I understand you don't have enough time in your hands. You can vote for the contestants albums if you want. You just need to listen to them at least once. Cheers my man!
|
| Jethro42 Hey, wat's up Titanbro? Do you know there's a prog tourney in preparation? Join us, you're welcome! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=187231

|
 | Kaiwaz pleeeeeeeeeease https://discord.gg/SJTfNd
|
| Kaiwaz duuuude please come into my discord man! pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase
|
| manosg oh man I know the feeling haha, previous year was crazy to the point of job burnout. Doing fine myself, this year is quite balanced as far as work vs personal time is concerned, with daily swimming, some exercise, etc.
|
| manosg Hey bud, haven't seen or talked to you lately. How's life treating you?
|
| Kaiwaz Yeah. It sucks. I wish you were in my discord, easier to talk to.
|
| Kaiwaz Come join us dude. You will like it. https://discord.gg/pbPEVUa
|
| Kaiwaz Oh I have a new plane video too! This is Aiwaz btw.
|
| Kaiwaz hey man, if you want to come visit our discord you're always welcome to come in. Small group of people. Just lemme know bro, it would be awesome to chat with you on there.
|
 | Aiwaz Hey man, check out my latest vid. My flying buddy had a close call! https://youtu.be/LFc5W6hfl1c
|
| Aiwaz Dude yes! I've been telling people they were like Led Zeppelin in certain ways for a long time!
|
 | Ryus yeah lol its not really looking good. at least the yankees are the most promising new york sports team right now.
|
| Aiwaz Hey man, how's it going? I was on an 80s binge all day at work today. Felt good! Highlight was Still Of The Night though.
|
| Aiwaz https://youtu.be/Bz4h3_QF29Y
|
| Aiwaz https://youtu.be/dkTI5NkdQTE
|
| Aiwaz New video is about to be uploaded. I'm working on it now. Some fantastic shots we got here! I can't wait for you to see it!
|
| Aiwaz Thanks man! Going again today. High winds, should be fun.
|
| Aiwaz https://youtu.be/fSXK-t3wQyY
|
| Aiwaz hey man, just dropped by to say whats up. Just got back from flying and it went awesome. Me and the dude I fly with are in the process of making a new video. We are getting more daring and had a few close mid air collisions, which is kind of what we both want in a way haha. Anyways, stay cool bro
