You're catching on.

To be even more fair, the album is called Secrets, so there's still a chance. ;}

ModX isn't in your top five? I don't even care anymore. ;}

Shit.

Rude. What do you have against chefs?

She's def a better looking reason.

Glad to see Theocracy make someone's list. I need to give it a few more spings.

So, is ADV involved?

This is ridiculous. I love it.

Truu. While I get that the albums are quintessential to the genre, I do wish they had only included one record from each band.

Seems like they actually made an effort with this. I'd like to see who they'd include if they expanded the list to 100.

AOR that dips into the Westcoast and Hi-Tech sub-genres. And if it at all appeals to you, all four bonus tracks are essential.

These guys still going?

By now y'all know I don't make these lists, but I'm having a difficult time even remembering what I listened to from 2023 apart from ModX - Secrets. That album completely eclipsed everything for me. For that reason it's my number one of the year. I still listen to it almost daily.

Yeah, well, there def aren't enough bands out there doing the Pomp sound, and that was a big part of Lionheart's style, originally. There isn't enough variety in the scene. Everyone is starting to sound too similar.

Welcome to the forums, mate. You were in a band? Did you record anything?

Oh, I read it as "haunting" ghosts, and the idea of living people going around haunting ghosts sounds a bit more interesting to me. ;}

It's still crazy to me that this band reunited. I like the song. I do wish their sound was a bit more Pomp, but it's good.

Even more shit singers out there. Like the two that were in the band before Andre. I would imagine there's a greater chance of this band failing with a new frontman.

Yarp. Same here.

Are they both Pekka?

I'd never change the channel if a Lumme Energia ad came on. Not sure I know who's singing in the second ad, though.

Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea is another great album from them, and is the only one I've really invested time into. I should check out this new one.

Sounds like fairly run-of-the-mill Euro Power Metal, and that's not a bad thing. I don't hate the vocals either, so win/win.

I'll give it a listen, but I'm already assuming I won't like the vocals.
