Long time ....

Haven't been posting here for awhile.....Time for a little ramble....

Picked up the new Jacobs Dream cd - Drama of the Ages
At first didnt get into it at all and only liked about 3 songs .....but then after giving it a few listens it grew on me and now i quite like it.....Not outstanding but a good solid power metal album ...akin to albums that were coming out in the late 80's. I still like their first album the most however.

Also have James Labrie's solo cd 'Elements of Persuasion' ...very suprising. I don't get into his voice that much in Dream Theater ....but he is very good on this album and most of the album is excellent metal with attitude! Highly recommended! I think i like it more than ......

Dream Theater's 'Octavarium' ....this new cd by them is good ...but not excellent ...but that's something very hard for DT ....to outdo themselves. I like the cd. DT can't do a 'bad' cd, but it is definitely not my favourite DT album.

Looking foward to picking up other new music soon .....Pyramaze - Legend of the Bone Carver, Fear Factory - Transgression, Kraftwerk - Minimum-Maximum Live DVD ? ...and more cds...
