    Top 50 albums of 2022

    Every year your list gets more and more eclectic. I used to look at your list and be able to say I own 30-35 of them. Now it’s like 10 of them and 30 of the others I have never ever heard of. In saying that, The Halo Effect disc is firmly in my top 10, which was a total surprise, Evergrey is...

    2020 Best of list...

    2020 best of metal Haken - Virus: This was by far the most interesting album of the year for me. It was also Hakens most focused album. It was also their heaviest. This band has grown into a monster. Henshall is a great guitarist ala Petrucci of Govan Guthrie. This one was a hard decision...

    Scardust - Strangers

    Very good album. But I have to be in the mood for it, due to the heavy orchestration running throughout. Also, there is a musical theme running throughout following the topic of "Strangers", say, similar to Neal Morse "Similitude...". A theme not similar sounding, but based on similar melodies...

    FATES WARNING: Long Day Good Night

    I've listened to the new album about 10 times. Some of it just doesn't resonate with me. Some of the experimenting with sounds just goes a little bit too far for me. I never wanted Jazz Warning, yet I get about 6 minutes of it. It's interesting from a musicians standpoint, but its not Fates...

    SOUL DOUBT: The Dance of Light And Shade

    This was in my top 5 for last year. it might have been top #3! I can't remember how high it ranks though I know it was definitely up there! Just an amazing double disc of goodness.

    PAIN OF SALVATION: Panther

    Fanboy here. Definitely not your typical fare. Still, the depth that this cd has is something to behold. It goes into my top 10 list as of now

    Scardust - Strangers

    The debut disc was mind blowingly unexpected. I guess based on where they're from, I didn't expect it to grab me. The new disc is a day 1 purchase.

    THE PROGRESSIVE SOULS COLLECTIVE: Sonic Birth, ft ex-DREAM THEATER, ANGRA members

    I love reading posts like this! Sometimes I'm shocked to see some of the cds on each list. Thats what makes it so fun to read! 1. Pain of Salvation- "Remedy Lane".

    LIZZY BORDEN: My Midnight Things

    AVANTASIA: Moonglow

    The sad thing is, Geoff Tate still,sounds good when the material he is singing is well written metal. I wish he would get back to it, because his voice on Avantasia has been solid

    New Amaranthe

    She's become the attraction? She's been the attraction since she was dancing on stage for Kamelot at ProgPowerUSA.

    OSTURA: The Room

    How the hell do you buy this on US iTunes? I was directed to another store in AED but am unable to make the purchase. I'm not a big fan of downloaded music, I'd much rather buy the CD, but this sounds amazing...so !
