Orphaned Land. Is this an album of prog metal? Also please tell me are the vocals normals or growled or a bit of both?Tried to listened to Amorphis last albums but their growled vocals on some of the tracks just spoiled it for me.

I listened to some songs off Moving Pictures this morning and I don't know if it was that or something else but suddenly I just wanted to shut out the outside world and get completely lost in the world of music, or to be more precise, the world of Pink Floyd:
Pink Floyd - Animals
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
I'm not quite sure if I've had enough, might continue with DSOTM and WYWH this afternoon...

When I bought that 5 disc Tull set, I ripped the CD's for the car (which is infamous for scratching CD's very easily, hence the burned copies), and I am determined to give them more spins. `Aqualung' still doesn't do a lot for me, but I think I like `A Passion Play' much more. Longer instrumental sections, more complex arrangements, bigger sound. The sax reminds me quite a lot of Van der Graaf Generator to be honest! But....it's still Anderson's voice that rubs me the wrong way. I'll keep at it! As for that `Perigeo' album, I have to admit it's kind of an album I lazily fall back onto when I'm feeling totally uninspired at work and can't decide what to listen to! Same goes for that Ozhuitza album too. Both are cool instrumental albums, not too involved and over the top, so they don't drive the people around me insane....as much!

Orphan Land are definitely Progressive metal and very unique at that by way of incorporating wonderful, eclectic middle eastern styles of music and instrumentation. As for the album, All is One is more mellow than pervious albums. This album features no 'growls' from Kobi Fahri except on a bit of track 6 I believe. I also say that MABOOL is Orphan Land's strongest effort to date. Get that album!

Mabool features a far more heavier sound while growl vocals are more predominant than on All is One. Something tells me you'll like All Is One much better. Big production on that album, but personally I was expecting more. :( I also say that MABOOL is Orphan Land's strongest effort to date. Get that album! |

Hey Aussie, I've read your previous posts about not clicking with Tull, so let me jump in and say I think y ou're looking in the right place. Passion Play is the perfect Tull album for someone who doesn't really like Tull It's unique in their discography for many of the reasons you mention...it doesn't really sound much like any other Tull album and I share your thoughts in comparison to VDGG. It's the darkest Tull album both musically and lyrically and I find it timeless.
If you find you like it, I'd steer you towards disk 1 of "Nightcap" as your next Tull listening project. It's the original recordings of what was supposed to be Passion Play...originally planned as a double album, but the band had trouble with the studio (they were recording in France as tax exiles) and abandoned the recordings and started over. Some of the themes are reused in the official release and some of the other parts are just plain twisted and great fun!

Thanks for the recomendation too!
