I thought it was fantastic and a shame they haven't played more it live. It has all the classic Kansas sounds with a modern sound.

Took a break from listening to the album for a week or so, gone back for a few listens and it's holding up well. As a whole, most of the songs are really good with If Eternity Should Fail rising as...

Overall, it's a good Iron Maiden album. I think the opener "If Eternity Should Fail" is a fantastic song.
I think overall, IM has fallen into a pattern of writing longer songs with lots of filler. ...

Listening to Speed of Light. Is it just me or is their something weird with the timing from :12 through to :19? It sounds like the guitar riff plays a bar of 7/8 right before the shots at :13, than...

I love that Jazzy intro by DM and AS. Some cool comping going on. I'd love to hear them do that style again on another song.

Sort of. The Heaven Can Wait is more like...
" woah woah woah, ----- woah woah woah woah woooooah woah woah woah woah woah ---- woah woah woah woah woooooah"
Wicker Man - "woah woooah woah woah,...

First time I heard the "woah woah woahs" I thought, they ripped off the end of the Wicker Man. Nevertheless, if they play The Red and the Black live, the woah woah woahs will be a great singalong...

It's pretty basic. If there is a demand, there will be a supply. But the demand is pretty low.
I held a few mini festivals in Toronto (all indie proggy related) for about 4 years in a row and...

I think you've summed up my feelings exactly.

Iron Maiden - Book of Souls First Listen Review.

I just finished listening to the new Iron Maiden album The Book of Souls. The hype surrounding this album has probably been bigger then any other...

Really looking forward to this album. I'm hoping it's as eclectic as Fear of the Dark. I agree that since X Factor many of their songs have used the same formula with regards to the structure. But...

I did it a week ago and got most of it correct. However, the 128's didn't bother me at all and I didn't think the Wave's and uncommpressed were a huge enough difference. Maybe it's my thin 50ft...

Bump for good luck.

After more then a year,...

CD Baby is a great way to go even with the set up fee. It allows salable access to your music via hardcopy CD if you wish and downloadable files such as FLAC and mp3. They also set you up with a...

I think both Freddie and Rob were fantastic singers in their prime, especially in the studio. However when it comes to live, both ended up with limitations. Freddie would often use falsetto on...

I know the 1st one Rocka Rolla was redone to make it look more modern, but I wasn't aware that Sad Wings and Sin were ever changed.

Yup! :oops



As far as Priest goes, I think Sin After Sin is just as arty, especially the second side. Here Come the Tears is a masterpiece IMO (see below). As for the actual audio/sound of...

You really should check out their 70's output.

Love this band. I'm also a huge Maiden fan but Priests 70's output Sad Wings through to Hell Bent/Killing Machine is way artier/proggy then Maiden. Their 80's stuff is also good such as Screaming...

Hemispheres by Rush. To me, the 1st side title track is the pinnacle of Prog Rock.
Yes - Heart of the Sunrise. - Also the pinnacle of Prog Rock.
Kate Bush - anything off of The Dreaming. I still...

Hi David. Thanks for posting the link to Danny Barnes article. Very interesting.

Wilton

Very cool!. Done very close to the original but little faster which makes it rawk a little more. While I'm not a fan of Nightwish I have heard a few songs in which she sings and I'm glad that she...

Bump. Just a few more days until the show.

I lead my own Art Rock band called Wilton Said... which I sing, play keys, and write for. I've been doing that on and off for about 10 years and I'm far from being a professional at it. Some might...

At one time when old jazz and show tunes were written by duos, this would make sense for the publishing to be split 50/50 as one would often write the music while the other wrote the lyrics. ...

Interesting subject matter. I submitted my music for publicist consideration a few months back. Thankfully he thought the biggest problem was my visual aspect (CD covers, website) and not the music...

A change to the band line up for this show. Rocket Horse has had to pull out, but we welcome Centrifuge to the line up.
The original post has been edited to reflect this line up change.

Thanks...

I really like the song "Heaven" and "Welcome to my World". The gentle "The Child Inside" is also great.

Wilton

A bump for the new month.

I think the mainstream audience is more interested in a classic line up rather then the original line up. And even then, many times it's due to the vocalist. Change the vocalist and to many people...

If you really love proggy elements in your metal, I would say start with Rage for Order, then The Warning. After that I'd go for Operation Mindcrime, Promised Land and then their EP which contains...

Depeche Mode/Bat for Lashes Concert.

I thought so to at first, however they have lightened up on their "we are not a prog band" talk and in some cases have seen the benefits of being lumped in with the genre. They headlined the prog...

I enjoy Supertramp. I like the big four, Crime, Crisis, Quietest Moments and Breakfast. Don't know if I could chooses a favorite though. They did a great mix of Pop/rock and lighter prog.

Wilton

I just posted in another forum about my experience in listening to a bunch of other Indie Bands.
...

@Nearfest - Is your "thanks!!!" a sarcastic one? I know how some of us here feel about Grooveshark, especially if you haven't given permission for the recording to be streamed by them.

At the beginning of the week, I had the good fortune to get my Wilton Said… music, visuals, and brand critiqued by an owner of a promotion company.

The critique basically mentioned that while my...

Cool!

Haven't been posting here lately, been too busy practicing.

I've tried listening to some of their music but it just doesn't do it for me. From the songs I've heard, there seems to be a lack of melody with an emphasis on having a huge sound which ends up...

Was in the UK for a week where I wasn't able to Spam, I mean promote this show. So now that I'm back I thought I'd give a little bump.

WoW! Great interview. No idea that tensions were running high enough for a split during the initial writing for the album.

Wilton

Will be cool to see you David if so.

It's practically right across from it. While the outside may look a little grubby, the 2nd floor area has been renovated and looks great. Nice comfy big chairs, nice hard wood floors, good sound...

I just wanted to let people in the Toronto area know of the show the band and I are doing in June. More info below...

Something I might pick up.

I remember hearing this live and thinking, hmmm, something is not quite right. And at you can hear it around 3:46 where it starts to go off. I wonder if the crowd clapping threw them off as the one...

I gotta agree. I expected to see photos and a write up.

I agree. He might not be the best, but his bass work on the song Rio shows what the man is capable of. It just seems that he chose not to be so busy in the majority of the songs.

What I can't...

Hey David. The demos sound, well weird, but I know that's the style of the band and the writing. Great stuff once again. All the best with the shows and the recording. I wish I lived in Ottawa as...

What about the Canadian fans? We're just as deprived of Marillion as the US.

Thanks for the bail out. I do however have that somg and know it, but I haven't listened to it in years.

I think I belong in the prog rock hall of shame. ...

Love this release. Very inspirational for me that resulted in my release The Butterfly Plague.

Wilton

I thought the live performance of Gaza and Sounds That Can't be Made were probably the most HUGEST and Climactic I've ever heard ever by any band live. Awesome. Totally the mostess awsomus everus....

I was very surprised to hear so much Fish material played. Last time I heard 6 Fish era songs was on the Holidays in Eden show here in Toronto. Don't get me wrong I love the H era stuff, but I've...

From what I read in interviews, Mike was free to arrange his own parts.
