Now that the BG fans among you have had time to digest their latest opus, which is your favourite of their later works?? I'm going to go for ANATO, because despite its excesses, there are some damn fine tunes on it.... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

it can keep 'Lateralus' company...  ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Nightfall. For me it seems somewhat less 'polluted' than ANATO. After Nightfall I would put in preference order:
Somewhere far Beyond (not prog, but fine tunes too, and overall it has a more 'clean' sound), Imaginations, ANATO, A Twist in the Myth (I do need to listen more to this, couldn't get into it yet). |

Quite. It's not a picture disc though ... a local store in my town carries the picture disc of Nightfall. Perhaps I'll trade in my CD for it ...  ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

^^^ Mike, I can't help feeling they'd stocked Nightfall, knowing that sooner or later your resistance would break, and you'd be in for it... On the subject of ANATO, I'm not at all surprised that mine is the only vote for it. You're right it is cluttered, but that's part of the charm for me; I only play Nightfall occasionally these days, but for some reason, I just don't seam to get bored of ANATO.. ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

^ I think all these albums are quite good ... I also listen to ANATO every once in a while. I wouldn't call it "cluttered" ... more like "overproduced". And especially the epic is not *that* much more progressive than the stuff on Nightfall.

A Night at the Opera and that's actually ONLY because of the magnificent "And then there was Silence" opus... ------------- Interested in my reviews? You can find them http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=784 - HERE "...He will search until He's found a Way to take the Days..." |

| "A Night At The Opera" is awesome prog metal with obvious Queen influences. It contains their best epic too. |

My vote goes to A Night At The Opera, just because it's so incredibly epic and never lets up, which is exactly what I want out of power metal. Nightfall is great, as is Somewhere Far Beyond. I'm just starting to get into their new one, but I doubt I'll ever like it as much as their other stuff. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/kingofbizzare/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

A Night At The Opera. truly amazing album. alienated all the hardcore power metal fans, but got more prog fans as well. still haven't heard A Twist In The Myth, but of what i've heard, sounds good. ------------- "...the only excuse for not knowing, is not wanting to know." |

Nice to see that someone intelligent has resurrected my pole.....
Nice to see that ANATO is so popular with others here too...
...though I have to say that ATITM isn't THAT bad...  ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |
