    The sound...

    One of the major reasons I stopped seeing so much live metal, was I just couldn't take paying $40 to go and see another band play a lot of music, and then not be able to hear the singer, or the lead guitar, etc. This year, the quality of the sound varied. For several bands, the house mixer...

    The improved version of Sabaton?

    Musically, it sounds better than Sabaton has with their last 2 albums (which were steps down from their early material).

    Do you listen to more/less/about the same metal than you did 5 years ago?

    I know that I listen to lot less metal compared to 5 years ago, but I also don't listen to music nearly as much as I did 5 years ago. Part of this is because of the invention of good podcasts, which take up a lot of my listening (paralleled with the growth in various other interests).

    The Murder of My Sweet

    The new album is mostly a continuation of what we heard on the first one. However, this is not a bad thing. I do not typically lead to female vocal rock/metal, as often they are backed by poor compositions (even though Tori Amos is probably in my top 3 of all time). However, for those who are...

    More soccer/football

    Instead of bumping the ancient thread, i'll start anew. This is a strange season for the EPL. It's been a long time, it seems, since neither Chelsea nor Liverpool are in the top 4. It's great to see a club like Tottenham in that 4th spot.

    Almost time to strip the Saints Superbowl?

    This would be a first. But it would be on par with what college would do. If the latest accusations are true, and they can be proven to have gone on during their Superbowl season, I think they should have all their wins stripped from them where this went on, as well as any playoff victories in...

    Need help identifying an 'anime' movie

    I though it was called Lane, but I can't find it. I don't remember much about it. I do remember it was amazing, and it involved some girl who was very connected to her computer/network. It was quite dark.

    Mystic Prophecy - Ravenlord

    This might be their best work. Honestly, I'm not much of a fan of Mystic Prophesy's previous work, but this is heavy and aggressive power metal.

    My next 'big push' band

    Every once in a while I latch onto a band. Then I talk the hell out of them to hopefully get others to notice. Two of these bands, Elvenking and Voyager ended up on the PPUSA stage. Not because of me, but partly because of the energy of the fans. But they made my day. I'm still working on...

    When did Volbeat start being played on the radio?

    I don't listen to the radio very often, but I was surprised to hear them on the radio today. I know they got on some decent tours.

    DragonCon 2011

    So who is going? I think I'll be there Friday/Saturday/Sunday... or so. I wish I had just bought a badge at last years... as now I'll be paying a LOT LOT more. But I didn't expect to be going this year as I was planning on going to something else, but that fell through. I looked at the...

    Sun Domingo... great 'new' prog rock

    Sun Domingo, from Atlanta, has been around a few years, but they are one of the best of the newer prog (mostly on the rock side) bands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOOgvBCIZAk&feature=player_embedded http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xa6owr_sun-domingo-a-song-in-your-name_music
