This has been a big year for new albums, what with Porcupine Tree, Rush and Marillion records coming out. Those records have all been pretty good, but for me, this was the one I was waiting for, and it's everything I cracked it up to be. Anekdoten has improved with every CD, with 2003's Gravity being their last triumph, an album on which they added pop, ambient and psych elements to their usual dark prog riffage. The live record Waking the Dead was also a triumph and well worth picking up. This record finds them refining their sound further on a remarkably consistent album. There are new touches, such as violin, flute on 30 Pieces, some nice synth and organ sounds and even some hard rock riffs. As always, there are great big lashes of majestic 'tron all over everything, which pleases me no end. The songs are strong, ranging from the pounding dark prog numbers which the band is known for to delicate acoustic songs like Stardust and Sand and Prince of the Ocean, the album's highlight track. The band's vocals from Jan Erik Liljeström and Nicklas Barker continue to improve with each passing album.

New cd from Swedish masters of dark progressive rock. Mellotron and fuzz galore.

The 4th proper release by these notable German Prog Metal warriors can as well be a highlight for their career (so far). For those familiar with the band's previous effort, it should be stated that this specific album did offer a good chance of recognition - dunno if the band eventually got it - since it featured a great mix of the DREAM THEATER musicianship and the Northern Europe Prog Metal (e.g. PAGAN'S MIND) atmosphere. Now, in "5th Season" the band seems to be more mature but also more powerful.

Log in to add to your wishlist An amazing blending of the most famous bands in progressive metal, this band successfully combines the sounds of Fates Warning, Queensryche and Dream Theater into one very pleasing package.

It is the most satisfying one since almost everyone takes serious liberties with the original songs. In a bold move, Yortoise stripped Money from its bass riff, revitalizing it in unbelievable ways. 50 Cent Haircut gives Breathe a double-speed alt-Hillbilly treatment, while Quetzal dives into a heart-ripping country rendition of Mother (cajon, accordion and a beautiful violin solo) and Graham Parker sits down with his guitar and pulls off an acoustic folk reading of Comfortably Numb. The list goes on and on, each track reinvented. . .

. [T]here are nice finds, like Mike Keneally's Astronomy Domine . . . and S.A.M.'s Hey You -- very heavy, with a sharp contrast between verse and chorus and a doom-laden coda. But the cherry to top it all off is the closing track, a "5 Minute Version of The Wall" (actually six and a half minutes long) by Rat Bat Blue where each track from the album is touched while keeping lyrics logical, keeping track of rhymes and retaining the overall feel of a song. A tour de force! François Couture on AllMusic.com

This epic double CD is a mindbending journey through all of the periods of Pink Floyd

Relief comes in a potent dose at the hands of local band Producto playing at the Caledonia Lounge. I ask someone at the bar what she knows about the band and she says, "A friend told me that sometimes they sound like Blue Öyster Cult and sometimes they don't sound like Blue Öyster Cult, at all, but they rock!" So far her friend has been right on all counts. The powerfully languid vocals of Ané Diaz are at the forefront of this band, but at its core is the aggressively industrial and darkly stirring guitar work of Frank MacDonell, who achieves some of his isolating soundscapes by playing his guitar with a bow through a range of effects pedals. Diaz is now interspersing fiercely angular Athens rock with a laid-back Venezuelan folk song that sways to a gently waltzing rhythm.
