PAIN OF SALVATION - REMEDY LANE - not as good as > Entropia or TPE, but I need to give it more listens. If you like TPE, then Remedy Lane should grow on you. It took longer for me to "get it" than TPE, but now I like it just as much. Excellent disc. Just a note on PoS: They took quite a beating recently here on this list, and that's fine, some people don't like them. We are (should) all be DT fans here, but there are a variety of reasons for liking DT. If you love DT primarily for the musicianship, i.e. for Petrucci's guitar playing or Portnoy's drumming, you may not like PoS. While everyone in PoS can play their instruments just fine, they're not "extreme, best of the best" players like the guys in DT. If you like DT more for the music composition, especially the Kevin Moore era, then you might like PoS. If you skip songs like Wait for Sleep or Space-Dye Vest, you should go ahead and skip PoS. PoS goes from mellow to heavy, but they do dwell a lot in the mellow area. There's your warning... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!

Cashman" To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Best of 2002 so far Message-ID: Hmm, so far, topping my list is Superior, ULTIMA RATIO --Which is a most-welcome return to their older style. I had high expectations for it and they didn't disappoint. Close behind it are several CDs: Pain of Salvation, REMEDY LANE Soilwork, NATURAL BORN CHAOS Green Carnation, LIGHT OF DAY, DAY OF DARKNESS Dream Theater, 6DoIT Also, the new Arch Enemy (if it's a 2002 release; I'm pretty sure it is) -- +--- Paul W.

The worst thing you could ever do is base your opinion on what others think. It's like movie critics. They put their own opinions out there and many people take that to heart. It's sad. If you like Rush, buy it and make up your own mind. Please don't let others make up your mind for you. JM -----Original Message----- From: Rick Rosinski [mailto:email_address_removed I haven't purchased the new Rush CD yet because of all the conflicting opinions I hear about it. I'm have every Rush CD, so I know I'll eventually get it. But I'm not a big fan of later Rush...my Rush preferences are 2112, Hemispheres, and the first three CD's. I get the impression that VT is more like later, rather than older, Rush. > The best for me was 6DOIT.
