He >was good at it, and I was hoping he would get even better. Same reason I got SYL, and I have ALL Testament so I was all psyched up when I heard Hoglan was gonna be on it, then disappointed. Makes me wonder why someone so technically great would move to some noise-oriented band where they have less opportunity to be heard? Then why even bother practicing at all? =) I will check out Spastic Inc if I can. Sean Malone's Cortlandt would be next along with Gordian Knot and Anomaly. You can get them at Laser's edge and they are under $15... so I am getting paid tomorrow. Should be a good time to order that stuff... Partha... Yeah they do have LTE II listed. Surprisingly. Considering the guy tried spelling the band names all fucked up when entering them into the computer: "Tyles", "Iceage", "Dolli's Dalemma", but my favorite spelling of that Best Buy visit was when I asked them to check for Live at Donnington by Maiden. His original version of the band name was "Iron Meidan". I'd be surprised if the guy can spell his own name and I dont even wanna know what the hell he listens to.

What makes them above average is that they are signed to Dreamworks. The GnR comparisons are vaild in the amount of attitude each band gives off, but Buckcherry is not going to set the world on fire like GnR did. And Buckcherry has enough of that southern thang going on to turn me off.

I have brand new stereo, Pioneer amplifier and Tanoy speakers. The combination is really great. BUT, while listening the album I noticed some errr ... noises, clicks! :( They are similar to those LP clicks, but these are not so loud. They are like 5, 6 small clicks one after another very fast, so that it all lasts some half second or less. But if you're averagely concentrated it's quite noticable! :( Naturally, the parts where it's obvious is the more silent parts of the album, like piano, or piano/guitar combination and stuff like that. Actually the mix on State of grace is not so good. The inreo is only Jordan playing the piano sound on his keyboards, but there is a lot of noise/murmur. How come? :( It is not cleaned / filtered very good. Finally, here are the timings where those clicks I descrobed above happens, but there are much more on these 2 songs. The thing is that everytime the clicks are on the same spot, which excludes problems with the speakers, .. it must be the CD! On the other hand, if it means that my LTE CD is damaged (who knows, little scratches or somethin'...), this is the first time I hear this kind of consequence on the sound. I assume the CD is like that from the manufacturer. The weird thing is I didn't noticed before! I would appretiate if some of you check your CDs on the below time places: Freedom of speech: 0:03-0:04 0:09 0:18 0:22 State of grace: 0:05 0:09-0:10 P.S. although I still didn't check the CD on other devices. -- CyberDuke "Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces I'll Pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone Crying for sympathy crocodile cry for the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone ..."

Now dude, your comment can turn into HUGE philosophical thread! :) The "I was following orders" stuff seems to be the ONE AND ONLY MOST IMPORTANT rule in army! A soldier MUST follow orders from his superior officers. And there's no excuse for that! The "logical" explanation for this is "In war time, you follow orders or you die! In army there must be rules which need to be 100% obeyed!" (Remember "A Few Good Men"? It's a story exactly about this problem) I think I heard that in war situation if soldier doesn't obbey direct order he can be shoot on the spot!?!!? :) geez, ... tell me I'm wrong. I'm in a country where we all males have to serve 9 months army service, an dit is said that all kind of morons are there with you (under assumption I'm not one of them :). So like, you're some 23 and you have 18 years old punk who is your superior and what makes his day is getting on your nerves. Recomendations: Swallow it and move further!

I saw a reference to it in a post on Usenet, in alt.rock-n-roll.metal.progressive.

I picked out a CD I wanted to listen to before purchasing (I find that I get less frivlous as I mature. The CD was the Dead Man Walking score). The employee behind the counter informed me that the store can no longer play a CD before being purchases, unless it's one of their specially marked (read: MTV-produced, overhyped) CDs. "Well shit," I said to myself. "I'm basically fucked b/c I refuse to buy this CD before listening to it". This also extends to prog bands I've never heard before. You 'jammers can recommend something until we're all blue in the face, but in the end we're all individuals with our own tastes and preferences. Have no fear, I'm going somewhere with this long-winded post. This is where mp3s come in. I'd like to have a list of websites that contain mp3s for the following bands-- Symphony X Iced Earth Spock's Beard Shadow Gallery I'm not looking to download an entire album (I do have a life), I just wish to sample the album, see if there's anything on it that I might dig listening to.

The other night I was talking to one of my bosses at work, named Mandy. She is an MTV/pop groupie. Anyway I was talking how MTV is evil and how they say what is cool or popular. I was talking about how record companies are taking advantage of this "latin pop" thing with Ricky Martin. I was takling about the Jennifer Lopez CD> She is a pretty girl who is easy to market. She said "that album was propbably in the works a year ago." I'm sorry. If DT can record all the music from I&W in about a week, than a pop album could be done in less time.

The stuff on Human is tough, but it's not NEARLY as nuts as Cynic. Gordian Knot and Cortlandt's drum parts were partially writen by Sean Malone... Reinert didn't adapt them too much and didn't go all out on it. Anomaly was a band for hire thing, and I haven't heard it. Aghora is very similar to Cynic in style. If you base your opinion of how good a drummer is by his double bass work and his ability to play "fast" over everything, you've missed out on the finer points of drumming. Just for the record, Reinert outclasses ALL of Death's drummers, ever. He's a true genius. -- Chris Ptacek - email_address_removed "Everything that can be invented has been invented." -- Charles H.

Victory! > > Kurt Just as a matter of insight, in their early days, The Beatles would record entire albums in a matter of hours (over a period of time). Jennifer Lopez is just being exploited. Maybe she can sing, maybe she can act, but maybe she wouldn't be doing if she didn't have that huge butt of hers.

Hoglan of course became a pretty big name after his two album stay with death (i don't think he got much recognition with dark angel) and the latest drummer, Richard Christy, who came from the slightly creepy (lame choice of words, but what the hell) but unfortunately redundantly boring alexter crowley inspired satanic act "Acheron", is way over-rated. he does possess a great amount of talent, and certainly fits the song writing mold of Death, but to me seems to be a bit ahead of himself. his double-bass work meshes together so much it is hard to tell if he is ever on time. he hits the important quarter notes with both hand and foot, but inbetween there is something a-funk with his Double-bass work. i don't know, it just doesn't sound clean to me, nothing like reinert's smooth accuracy. just had to sound off there.
