 | OmairSh I mean the album is good, but I wasn't blown away by it. They didn't experiment with their sound much. They could have gone funkier and expanded on the groovier elements on the album. I'm hoping it's not another trilogy and they push their sound forward. We'll find out in 2 or more years I guess
|
 | OmairSh Why would you be afraid of a hat though? :-P. I think it's the band's weakest album, and I'm worried that they're starting to decline a little since ADHD. I know they definitely have the capability to release great albums (they're certainly far from Dream Theater's level of hopelessness), but I think their focus on being "mature" means the music is lacking spark.
|
 | OmairSh Yo agg, yeah I have a few times. It's good, but I expected better. What did you think?
|
 | OmairSh Haha, don't know when/if they ever return to the ADHD sound. I have a feeling the album will be more groove oriented, which is something I do not mind at all. Though the drumming will be lacking I think, Piotr doesn't bring the groove too well unfortunately. Lets see. One month to go now
|
 | OmairSh Ah okay, I actually enjoyed it. I liked the groove on it and especially the guitar work. It's not mindblowing, but I think it's enjoyable. Still not keeping my expectations very high as I don't want to be disappointed
|
 | OmairSh If you didn't enjoy those two songs then don't bother with the album. The older Symphony X albums were very good and refreshing. This one is just tiring. More importantly what did you think of Riverside's single?
|
 | OmairSh Oh dam look who's back :-). I've been well, pretty much the usual. Writing a review for the new Symphony X album, but not sure if I want to be the first to post it since I've given it a 3 :-P. You tell, how've you been?

 | OmairSh I still have to get on that. Lots of the albums on the playlist. Of course your recent tracks are by Riverside :-D. New album coming out this year dude!!! They're abandoning hard rock elements it seems. Still should be pretty interesting. Hopefully more than the new Lunatic Soul album, that wasn't too special. Leprous is also releasing an album this year!!!!! CANNOT WAIT!!!
|
 | OmairSh You're back are ya? Wazzaaa
|
 | OmairSh Dud where the **** are you?
|
 | OmairSh Lucky you, I wish I could enjoy DS more :/. The atmosphere is good but it's a bit too safe. Also most of the electronic effects are just okay, unlike the beautiful ones on The Storm before the calm.
|
 | OmairSh Love this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn2ixHXe4nw, at 3:39 you might recognise that melody, it's similar to Anathema's Untouchable duo
|
 | OmairSh I see you're really liking DS

|
 | OmairSh Danny is uploading clips on facebook, so far it seems like it's going to be cheesy, YES!!!!!
|
 | OmairSh Anathema has started recording their next album :D :D :D
|
 | OmairSh Love the way he changes the vocal line at 4:12. Their ADHD tour would have been the perfect time to see them live
|
 | OmairSh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njljG4y2E-g Just watch all this guys Riverside videos, this was a great performance
|
 | OmairSh Finally the drums have some kick!
|
 | OmairSh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkkNwzv73ac
|
 | OmairSh Dude it's so weird for me to see that rating from a fan. I know the band has great albums before their latest 2, but for me its a whole new level now, the musicianship, production, songwriting. In my head its Pre-WHBWH era and post-WHBWH era.
|
 | OmairSh Oh it was WHBWH that was the problem? SILENCE SILENCE!!......Actually you may speak
|
 | OmairSh Wow do I see Weather Systems at a 4?
|
 | warlordfun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sq9oQivijgAkouse to kai pes mou ti gnwmi exeis gia to album.. :)
|
 | OmairSh The new DT is better than I expected, 3-3.5
|
 | OmairSh Haven't heard the new DT, but it can't be better than 6D at least
|
 | OmairSh Just let me live without your pain
|
 | OmairSh ADHD is calling me again, have to jam, can't resist. Very few albums still sound almost as good as when i initially climaxed on the, ADHD is one of those albums. I can't understand how people don't like it, it doesn't register in my mind
|
 | OmairSh You know you can't resist Anathema. Daniel Gildenlow is ridiculously good at mixing raw metal with soothing melodies, but some of his ideas are a bit too wacky for me to take seriously
|
 | OmairSh Oh the irony :D, unfortunately for you Danny's in a happy place so you'll have to bear with his lyrics about ponies and rainbows for a little longer. Yeah a new POS album would be great, I don't think I'd want them to completely revert to their old sound, I respect POS because its a band that actually progresses, so I'm interested in the new direction. And I expect the same from Riverside, but a mix of ADHD and OOM would definitely be an awesomeness overload
|
 | warlordfun http://www.metalhammer.gr/magazine/hammer-tv/4567-dream-theater-along-for-the-ride.htmlTa suberasmata dika sas. Meta lete to power metal oti einai cheesy..
|
 | OmairSh Haven't heard any Haken, but yeah the new ones overrated....If you say so
|
 | OmairSh A 4 is what I like to see, but I'm sure it hasn't climaxed on you yet. It took 10 odd listens for me, maybe more
|
 | OmairSh Bass f ucking wins on Mediocrity wins! Are you going to review your Bilateral rating or am I going to take drastic measures? Well its good to see what your recent tracks are :-), and the whole album fits in the 'recent tracks' space, see it was meant to be
|
 | OmairSh Ahh jazz interpretations of metal songs :D. Dam I haven't listened to DT in so long I'm going to have to recall what the tune was like, will check it out.
|
 | OmairSh Yeah its so powerful and emotive, I loved it from the beginning, and easy 4. The production could have been better but whatever. I love the vocal lines in all of the songs. I haven't listened to Hindsight properly but I think it might be a 3.5. It has some interesting instrumentation.
|
 | OmairSh F uck dude you're up to date on your anathema aren't you. Oh My God thats a genius suggestion, it would have been ORGASMIC! Its incredible on Falling Deeper.
|
 | OmairSh DUDE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRt0Ug5WweE
|
 | OmairSh ......Busted :P. Yeah I'm not expecting much from DT, I think they've passed their prime and it doesn't look like its going to be returning unfortunately
|
 | OmairSh Drink a cuuuup of emptineeess :D, love that song, dude his vocals are ridiculously immense overall, The song "Foe" being a prime example, great song Broooooooken FOooooooooe iiiin my SIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHTTT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt6cEqtvUHM, Now thats a performance I wouldn't mind attending
|
 | OmairSh What? I don't have a youtube channel... yeah I heard the new FW (I shared the news article :P). Yeah its generic but its alright, I didn't expect FW to release a revolutionary album after a 9 year hiatus, but I expect it to be a 3.5 atleast, unlike what I expect from DT. Yeah I expected a lot more from OSI but there albums aren't higher than 3.5 for me.
|
 | I haven't listened to the new OSI but it doesn't look like I'll be getting to it soon judging by a lot fo the ratings its gotten
|
 | I LOVE his growls, they're very good. And Bilateral definitely needs a lot more listens than TPS to digest. Coal has some refreshing elements, maybe you need to give it more time :D, but yeah it isn't as good as TPS and Bilateral for sure. Anyway your link isn't working dude resend.
|
 | OmairSh Tall Poppy Syndrome might be a better place to start for Leprous. Their latest album Coal is probably the easiest to get into though. So its up to you, but definitely go through their discog, worth it for sure
|
 | Mad. Oh don't worry, I plan in reviewing it, and yeah there's obvious Pink Floyd influences but they jab got their own style. New album out in October!
|
 | Mad. Hey man, I listened to some of that Believe album you rec'd me, it was good but neo-prog isn't really my kinda thing. You would DEFINITELY like Airbag - All Rights Removed, go check it!
|
 | OmairSh Yeah that album particularly is difficult to get into, maybe with time.
|
 | OmairSh Only heard it 3 times but I enjoyed it, Parallels crossed with Arch/matheos, but I don't want to listen to it in crap quality, will prob wait for its release. Dude you need to jam Leprous - Bilateral 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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcoz7RWdYJI
|
 | OmairSh Yup its bland and generic, typical modern DT. Its a single but it still shows they're in the mindset where they compose a single for the sake of it. They cater to newer fans so.... Plus JP wants to prove he's a riff machine and wants to sound like modern crappy metal bands. What pisses me is how JR sticks to the same crappy songwriting style and in his youtube videos he's experimenting with new instruments every 2 minutes but he never brings them to DT, like the harpeji
|
 | OmairSh Send Vinnie the diet program you think would suit him :P. Yeah I'm surprised they don't like their older work, but I guess its because they don't like where they were mentally at that time and want to move away from that depressing mindset and be jolly :D. Bt yeah I'm hoping they have much more dark and experimental elements.
|
 | OmairSh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LleVnGtRx0 ****ing hell I love how Vinnie goes nuts with the effects, he should experiment more on the next record
|
 | OmairSh :-D. And that fan made video is fantastic, complements the song so well. The girls in a trance part would have been more fitting if it was in a different setting, not the dance party kind

 | Dreamflight it's been one hell of a fight there. ahaha thanks bro, your arguments are very valid and rule. ;D
|
 | OmairSh Yeah try and justify your heinous crime :P. They had 3 songs from ADHD and 3 of the best songs from SONGS
|
 | OmairSh Alright fine but remember its my OBSESSIOON!!! :D
|
 | OmairSh Yeah checked it, but the music didn't seem to fit the nature of the video
|
 | OmairSh Your damn profile picture dude. Marion Cotillard ftw
|
 | Gnocchi http://meltingalbumreviews.com/join-our-team/
|
 | OmairSh WS is great agreed, it's not doing much different but it has so much passion and emotion that it scores highly in my book. Hoping the next album is a step forward and more daring. I used to listen to various Anathema songs but never took the band seriously until I heard WHBWH and WS properly. Then I went through most of their catalogue and now I highly respect them.
|
 | OmairSh Yeah that melody is great, and the tones are as well. Also the "main" lead guitar melody is absolutely brilliant, especially at 2:06 and 4:39, and the hammond organ in the back, oh my GOD! Haha, I see you don't fancy We're here because we're here, I think it's a brilliant album, it took a long time to grow on me thouhg, it was a 2.5 in the beginning. Thin Air was the first song I heard from the album and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
|
 | OmairSh Left Out is also a beast of a track, not far behind Hybrid
