I forgot to mention Protest the Hero and Meshuggah as well, I don't know why those 2 skipped my mind, I guess I was thinking of them being released last year. The new Andromeda is good, just didn't quite hit me like chimera. Same goes for Scar Symmetry, just didn't hit me like their previous disc.

Good Deal!! I thought the new Journey was good just not Great, same with the new AC/DC. On the other hand, the new Metallica was a Fantastic album, especially if you ever heard the uncompressed Guitar Hero III version which was even better than the actual release I purchased.

That's interesting about the Guitar Hero III version. I haven't heard anything about that. With that said, I recall reading someone's post about the LP sounding better, but I honestly can't buy into that.

VENOMGA'S TOP 20

12. Paradox-Electrify

This man knows CDs that totally rip.

 

[Soundscape]

Disappointments: Andre Matos

Are you referring to something other than "Time To Be Free"?..maybe it got a US Release?..cuz it was a 2007 record.

Curious where all the fans of BURST are?..LAZARUS BIRD is a killer record.

My personal list is not too far away..just working on reviewing/refreshing ..and discovering some last-minute albums before finalizing the bloody thing. I hope to by the end of the week.

 

[SavaVIDude]

1. Testament
2. Metallica

FatesFan played this for me on the way down to PP this past year and I agree that it's a great disc! The production is raw, but the talent overrides the lack of studio polish.
