בינתיים אהבתי מאוד את הקאברים לקווין ודיקסי דרגס, פשוט ענק. השיר של ריינבו משעמם לדעתי.

הבנתי שהיה חזק... אווווף
(טוב נו , לפחות אפשר להתנחם שמחר יש ספיישל 2 בגלגל"צ וספיישל 3 ב88FM ביום שבת.)
אם אני אשאל אם מישהו פה כבר שמע את הדיסק החדש - יגחגחו עליי ??
השיר - The Count of Tuscany פשוט אדיר! אהבה משמיעה ראשונה...
זה רק אני או שג'יימס נשמע פשוט מעולה בדיסק הזה??? כלומר..לטעמי הוא תמיד אלוהי אבל הפעם הוא נשמע ממש ממש טוב במיוחד בשיר הזה וב-Wither שגם מצוין.
דבר נוסף שמטריד את מוחי - איך זה יכול להיות שבכל מקום שמוכר את האלבום החדש יש פער מחירים ? (אני מדבר על ה-Special Edition)
ב-אמזון זה עולה 14.99$
ב-metalshop זה עולה 89.90 ₪
ב-musicaneto זה עולה 119.90 ₪
ב-cduniverse זה עולה 19.98$
וב- play.com עולה 11.99£ עם Free Delivery עוד לא בדקתי לאן...
ועוד דבר חשוב - מישהו מוכן להשקיע טיפה ולתת סוגשל מילון דרימי-אנגלי לכל הקיצורים האלו שזורקים פה של השירים ???
(למען האנשים הפשוטים כמוני...שקוראים לשירים בשמם המלא בלי קיצורים) , תודה.
אפח'ד לא מגיב על מה שאני כותב!!!

metalshop, play ו-cduniverse זה אותו המחיר (כמה שקלים לפה או לשם)
musicaneto גנבים (מסתבר)
כרגיל, הכי זולים הם אמאזון, אבל קח בחשבון שייקח כמה ימים עד שהדיסק יגיע אליך במשלוח.

After finally running out their 13-year, seven-plus album deal with a poisonously indifferent Atlantic Records via 2005's workmanlike Octavarium, progressive metal standard bearers Dream Theater took advantage of their well earned free agent status to enjoy a heated courtship from several interested labels, before eventually settling on the artistically simpatico Roadrunner. But, ironically, Dream Theater's first album for the label that heavy metal built, 2007's Systematic Chaos, was relatively accessible by the group's standards, complementing every epic and complex composition with a comparatively concise and hooky song, thus leaving it to its 2009 successor, Black Clouds & Silver Linings, to really flex the band's progressive metal muscles to their maximum girth. And in fact, Dream Theater's tenth long-player is about as dense and challenging as any album in their daunting discography (and certainly the darkest of spirit since 2003's Train of Thought), by emphasizing not only the virtuoso members' ever stupefying musicianship, but also their most aggressive and thoroughly metallic songwriting tendencies. Sixteen-minute opener "A Nightmare to Remember" and its half-as-long follow-up, "A Rite of Passage" (later edited further for release as the album's first single), quickly establish this agenda via frequently thrash-paced staccato riffing, some of John Petrucci's most blistering guitar solos ever, and the return of drummer Mike Portnoy's syncopated growls (no doubt inspired by his pal Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth), providing contrast for singer James LaBrie's soaring melodic elegance. Third track "Whither" — a tender ballad and mere babe at five minutes in length — is this album's only concession to commerce (and one of Dream Theater's better stabs at the form it is, too); but after that it's right back to prog rock in excelsis, via the final chapter in the band's "AA Saga," "The Shattered Fortress," which references songs from previous albums such as "The Glass Prison" and "The Root of All Evil," in emulation of the "Conceptual Continuity Clues" method favored by one of Portnoy's heroes, Frank Zappa. Only two, not surprisingly massive song suites remain now, and interestingly, both pay evident tribute to Rush! First up, "The Best of Times" boasts an extremely Alex Lifeson-like lead guitar motif and verse chords that were clearly evolved from "The Spirit of Radio," later showcasing the most versatile and classically steeped performance on this record by keyboard wizard Jordan Rudess. Second, the revealingly named "The Count of Tuscany" (surely a thinly veiled allusion to the Rush's famed instrumental, "La Villa Strangiato") catches Portnoy in the act of outright Neil Peart worship, colluding with Petrucci on their own version of "Xanadu" before leading their bandmates into another heady prog-metal magnum opus brimming with more ideas, notes, and time changes over 19 minutes than most bands bother with over a ten album career. That last bit sound at all familiar? That's because, at the end of the day, one must admit that Black Clouds & Silver Linings, for all its abundantly positive qualities and minor but clear distinctions from prior efforts, is still an archetypal Dream Theater album; one that's unlikely to broaden their audience all that much, but is conversely guaranteed to thrill their hardcore converts with its renewed devotion to the most exigent and stimulating facets of the band's chosen musical domain

"Everyone in the world should listen to Sigur Ros. Then maybe it'd be a better place."
An excellent album from a band that for me has always consistently put out great albums. The opening track A Nightmare To Remember is a great epic song, one much in the tradition of Dream Theater's recent more metallic albums. The section about a third way through, best described as the mellow part of the song is stunning. This high is contrasted with the low of Portnoy's lead vocal section late in the song. His voice just doesn't work. Despite that the song overall is a great opener. Next comes A Rite of Passage, the lead single. This is a much more straight forward song compared to the rest of the materal on the album. Nice and catchy song, but not one that particuarly stands out. The third track is Wither, the mandatory DT ballad. Wither is one of the better ballads the band has done in a very long time, it really makes an emotional impact. The Shattered Fortress is up the next, the conclusion to the AA suite. This song is very much a nostalgia trip as it recalls moments from the previous 4 songs of the suite, a perfect way to close the suite. A really rocking tune. The Best of Times is a stand out track, an epic ballad type song about the death of Portnoy's father. Such an emotional and powerful tune. What makes this song most amazing is how tasteful it is, unlike other DT epics that are filled with instrumental wnakery. None of that is to be seen here. John Petrucci's solo in the clsoing minutes of the song is mind blowing, on eof his best. Finally we come to The Count of Tuscany, this song is truly incredible. It had become on of my favourite Dream Theater songs, each band member just excels on this track. Overall this is yet another fanatstic chapter is the Dream Theater story.
