I'm embarrassed that I didn't notice this release 2 years ago.

 

This is the band of ex-Within Temptation keyboardist Martijn Westerholt (brother of Robert Westerholt from WT). It is very similar to WT, and Sharon from WT sings vocals on one of the tracks.

 

Here are two of my favorite tracks from their CD:

 

A Day for Ghosts

 

The Gathering

Yeh i posted a review of this on here quite awhile ago. Thanks for taking notice Dan! ;)

 

I think i said something along the lines of "this is a WT copycat... except not a good one". It was pretty ordinary and i soon forgot about it.

I know this thread is about Lucidity but I wanted to mention I picked up April Rain this year after Dan posted a few tracks for sample. What a great CD and definitely a great change of pace from what I usually listen to. So good IMO that I will buying Lucidity eventually.

 

Anyone here have both CD's and want to offer and opinion or comparison?

April Rain is better than Lucidity. More lush, more vocal harmonies.

 

I've heard a few songs (The Gathering and A Day For Ghosts) from Lucidity and did like what I heard...so far. Overall you think it is it worth the $$ to pick up even though you think less of it than April Rain?

'April Rain' is a brilliant album and one of my faves from this year so far. I heard that 'Lucidity' wasn't that great, so have never bothered picking it up so far.

Damn, I will have to hunt down some more tracks other than The Gathering and Ghosts...because I like those. But I have done that before, heard a tune or 2 off an album, thought the album would be great but it turned out those were the only good tunes. (Hmmm, good topic for a post maybe)

Ive loved Delain since I first heard them. I have both their CDs. They will be one of the bands at next years ProgPower XI in Atlanta. :banger: This video is introducing the bands for next year. Looks to be a great fest! http://www.progpowerusa.com/

 

Are you in the camp that Lucidity is not as good as April Rain? Either way, I'm guessing you still think it is worth owning?

      Framing the Red / Southern Hard Rock with a dash of sleaze

      By whiplash1972 · Posted

      Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think.

      Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:

      Eclipse - Megalomanium ll

      By tts42572 · Posted

      My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums.

      Solid hard rock album. Nothing really stood out to me, but it’s solid.
