Topic: My recent purchases... Posted: January 13 2007 at 23:02 |
Please, opinions, I haven't heard any (except Abacab, which almost sucks, but has a few decent songs and as a pop-rock album is good actually)... I want to know what you think.

Why the hell did you waste money on those godawful late Genesis albums?  Dowsing Anemone gets my vote.

Muse's Black Holes and Revelations is an excellent album. Great purchase!

I would have voted for the last option, but you bought Wild Orchids - my vote goes for this album.

I haven't heard everyone on the list, but, of those I have heard, Wild Orchids is the best by a mile. You are in for a treat with that one! (As long as you like subtle humour and orchestral mellowness, mixed in with some superb guitar playing!)

I chose Angra from your list because the albumyou mentioned is excellent indeed. Great choice for In the Woods - Omnio.
Let's see what else is there: even 1981-1991 Genesis period has a lot of good and very good songs. As far as Peter Gabriel is concerned, well he's always a great choice.
Labyrinth - Son of Thunder - pretty good, but I've heard better from them; the album is called Return to the Heaven Denied if i remember right.
GPS - can't find this album anywhere, shops or even for downloading. Being a fan of Payne era Asia fan, I am curious and hope I'll find it somehow.
Muse - Black Holes and Revelation - an excellent purchase.
Still haven't heard the entire Steve Hackett album you mentioned, just a few songs  , it sounded pretty good. Well, I admit I'm not a big fan of Hackett's solo stuff yet.
