As for today: Accept- Predator (Much better than I remember it) Celtic Frost - Into the Pandemonium Rhapsody of Fire - Frozen Tears of Angels Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier Iron Maiden - Killers
Spys - Behind Enemy Lines, this album rocks it is like the lost Rick Springfield album from the early 80s.
Let me know what you think about the new Apocalyptica. I spun it last week and find it to be a mixed bag.
I love the tune they did with Gavin Rossdale, End of Me.. Bummed the DVD doesn't have Hope Vol II on it - that video is bloody amazing (but Bittersweet is on there so that's kewl... )
The song with Gavin was okay. I guess I'm just really getting tired of these guest vocalists that don't seem to fit. The only sung album I really dug was the one with the guy from Gojir (though I guess it's a stretch saying it was sung). Their best material still are the instrumentals, but I didn't find them as engaging this time around, outside of the epic at the end.
Celtic Frost - Vanity/Nemesis Chickenfoot - Chickenfoot (Not nearly as good as I remembered it) Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet? Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk Sabaton - Coat of Arms (Finally got around to it. Though the first half was great, while the second half not as much. Really quite hated Metal Ripper to be honest. Previous two were much better.) King's X - Ogre Tones
Tyr - Ragnarok Kamelot - The Fourth Legacy, Karma, Epica, Dominion, The Ghost Opera Disturbed - Asylum
Not all the way thru it yet but the first song seemed to get freakin' lost halfway thru (seriously, do you really need to play the drums that fast?? no, no you don't) but with like less than 2 mins left got really good... I really really liked Not Strong Enough... Bring them to Light - its not horrid.. We'll see how the rest of the disc goes.. But I do agree with ya, the instrumentals aren't as 'moving' as they have been
