The main difference I think will be the influences that will pop up once you listen to it. Just like when you'd listen to the last album and say "hey, this has a Toolish or a Radioheadish sound", maybe in the next one you'll say "hey, this has an Iron Maidenish sound or a Megadethish sound" (didn't wan't to say Metallicish). About Derek's new album, I like it quite a bit, altough it hasn't grasped me like his previous efforts. Nothing beats Planet X, but still Inertia had more of my attention than Black Utopia. It's still very good, though. I really can't explain the reason why it hasn't grasped me. About Angra, none of their albums are even close to being a disappointment for me. Fireworks was a change of pace compared to Holy Land, but I really like it. It's a great album, but it was sort of a shock after what you'd come to expect following Holy Land. And, by the way, I highly recommend you get Hunters and Prey as well as the live album and DVD. H&P is an EP, but it's a masterpiece of an EP. The song H&P is worth the price of the cd alone. You should also check out Shaman (the other half of Angra), which is great as well. About the following disappointing cds: > -Pain of Salvation: Remedy Lane (before you start flaming: I dig The > Perfect Element) Well, I really can't agree with that. For me, RL is probably their best album, while I think TPE is probably their weakest (although it's still a very good album). > -Explorer's Club: Raising the Mammoth Am I the only person who loves this album? The second song kind of drags a bit (the one before the LaBrie one), but the rest for me is brilliant. Again, I was a little disappointed at first, but that bastard grew on me like a weed :-) This album has one of the best intros I've heard, especially with Marty's soloing. By the way, Marty Friedman's latest album "Music for Speeding" is very good. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2003 10:31:41 -0500 From: "Carlos A.

I would hope for an album that the influences DONT pop out when listening to it, for a change instead.

I apologized profusely for missing his show on June 9th, and he said not to worry. I woke up before he answered why he didn't bring Yngwie on tour with him. Damn dreams!! :D ----- Original Message ----- From: "Souter, Jan-Michael" To: "Multiple recipients of list" Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 10:51 AM Subject: RE: yngwie > I expected to hear Derek more in the foreground on this CD but it's just not > as up-front to me.

I didn't think of that. Now my blood is burning waiting to hear what they're coming up with :) Any idea why they would be touring BEFORE the new album comes out? No Idea, hopefully they will do a full tour after, and come to Ottawa this time. Pierre, you live in quebec? I am from Ottawa, Mike. Listened to QR's, Operation Mindcrime this weekend, man this album is good. Did any of the guys in DT ever comment on this album??? Let me know. I agree, Jan-Michael, we need at least 2 new albums before Metropolis part 3...cause.... I dont think that the struggle between the children as ended... Hey check out the section, Fans, Dt tattoos, check the guy from Ottawa, I listen to him on CHUO (Ottawa University radio) every tuesday, he hosts a prog show, pretty good show.

It seems that PoS fans can never agree with each other on what the best album is :P For me, it's TPE. The title track is a killer!
