Listen with Trollheart

I stumbled back across this in a search for material for my Fortress of Prog, but was a little upset to find it's no use for that, as although there are prog albums here the guiding principle I laid down with this thread was that there would be no reviews, and only a few words, a few lines about each album, more comments than anything really, so not much use for the crumbling-and-being-renovated-as-we-speak castle of keyboards then.

However, reading through it (yeah I read my own work; wanna make something of it?) I was reminded how much fun this was, and as this is a time when we could all do with some harmless fun, I'm going to kick some life back into it, two years later.

So stand by. Let's see what's first up.
Oh, and I may bring back those playlists I was doing, though probably not on a daily basis. 2018 Trollheart was right: too much effing hard work!

Why do we need to know if you own the album?

So...how does this thread differ from your recent thread of posting about music you listen to i.e. the music nobody likes thread?

This thread has the albums chosen at random, many of which will be new even to me, and others may like them. In the other one, I'm specifically choosing albums by bands I like but that most of the opinion here is against, or that people have never heard of. Journey, Bon Jovi, Nanci Griffith, Threshold etc. Also the format is far different: in the other thread I go individually through each album track by track commenting on each song and then rate the album overall. Here the review, as such, is really short, very vague and hardly touches on any of the songs at all. Also, this one has cool icons.

Otherwise, yeah, it's exactly the same.

Fair enough. I hope I didn't come off as rude. It just looked similar but I know you have little quirks thrown into your threads so yeah.

Not a problem, and no you didn't. I appreciate the two threads look similar on the surface, but I am handling them very differently.

^that one ive always had trouble listening to since As The World Bleeds and Mirror of Souls are far superior. There aren't many tracks I like on Theocracy, but its still a decent enough album.

I'm not over the moon either but "Revolution Calling" is an absolute monster of a song.
