Thanks for sharing, Just added both to my Bandcamp wishlist to give them a listen
Enjoy Michael.
Enjoyed this a couple of times this week already thanks Barry for sharing
Heck yes sir!
Think I have every Paradise Lost album saved in Roon via Qobuz.
Try Draconian Times, possibly their finest effort.
Thanks I have just added it to my Tidal library as well.
Not going to be popular with the better half though
Good thing I have never shown her how to control Roon
Been listening to Amorphis more recently and really enjoying a cross section of their work.
A lot to work through
Nice surprise - I know a couple of us were chatting Times of Grace earlier in this thread before it got split into monthly editions. Totally forgot about the fact there’s a new album, and saw it came out today
If you’ve listened to the first album, you know what to expect. Solid, but not breaking the mould - not that that’s a bad thing necessarily.
AT LAST! Been patiently waiting for today.
I was expecting better from Maiden.
EDIT: No wonder, it’s a Smith/Dickinson special.
It’s not bad bad but also not something to write home about. Let’s what else they will release.
This is rather enjoyable at the beach. Somewhere between Pirate and Viking, and makes me want to hit the Rum in the middle of the afternoon
Not bad, but not outstanding either.
I think Iron Maiden have their best time behind them.
The last consistently good album for me was “Brave New World”. On all other albums after that, there were good songs every now and then, but as a whole I didn’t find any of them really convincing.
But they’ve done their life’s work some time ago, so it’s OK not to write the very best songs anymore.
And the “Blaze Bayley” time: Partially very good songs, but with the singing I can not make friends until today. Maybe “Axl Rose” would have done a better job.
Agree with you and yes, BNW was their last solid effort for me as well.
I really like their most recent effort Obsidian - may well be my fave PL album.
Friday and lots of metal releases today (maybe something for everybody), here are some…
Paradise Lost: At The Mill (shared by @AceRimmer in listening thread)
Space Chase: Give Us Life (thrash metal)
Vandor: On a Moonlit Night (power metal)
Vouna: Atropos (doom/black)
And couple technical death metal albums
Cognitive: Malevolent Thoughts Of A Hastened Execution
Ophidian I: Desolate
I am not usually one for instrumental metal, but this is quite good. Thanks.
