His last four albums are among the best he's done: "Dead Son Rising", "Splinter - Songs from a Broken Mind", "Savage - Songs from a Broken World", and "Intruder". Splinter is probably his masterpiece actually - it's one of those albums that you can just pop into the CD player and play from beginning to end and enjoy EVERYTHING

I’ve just been getting into their first couple of albums and I’m loving orchid. I think my least favorite are deliverance, heritage, en cauda, but I haven’t listened to those as much as the others

Never understood why they weren’t a huge band. I’ve tried to turn on so many of my friends to King’s X but they just didn’t get it. It’s different if they were musicians, they seem to get it but not the wider public. First saw them on the Faith Hope Love tour and seen them so many times since but being in the UK we have to wait till they cross the pond

Gojira is a perfect band, their lyrics have a heavy meaning, life, death, enviromental , humanity , etc, their instrumental part are heavy AF and groovy... i mean... Gojira is perfect.

Love the two singers together. Reminds me of the old classical masters, when they used major and minor together as a sort of contrast. The grain of the male vocal and the softness of the female vocal have such a delightful interplay of opposites. Grand!

I know it's 3 years later, but I would have loved to see your reaction and analysis of their song Phantom as it's my favourite from them. If by chance this band fell off your listening rotation at any point, please take this comment as an opportunity to remember how incredible they are and add them back in.

I would say there has never been a band that let me down so much as Queensryche The reason: The 80s albums up to Operation Mindcrime were masterpieces. Then the next three albums got progressively worse until they reached a zenith of playing boring mundane music throughout the late 90s and 2000s. Dedicated to Chaos and Frequency Unknown were some of the worst albums recorded by any band I have ever listened to. It was not until they got Todd did things improve. Condition Human is actually pretty good. Liked this video. You have a very relaxing voice.

I had read an article in a guitar mag that asked 25 big name guitar & bass players to name their top 5 desert island albums. I kept seeing players like Billy Sheehan & Nuno Bettencourt mention King's X - Gretchen Goes To Nebraska. So i told my sister to get me the cd for Christmas. She did and the love affair began. I went out and got Silent Planet and was hooked for life. I've seen them 12 times , which is the most i've seen any single band and i've been to about 700 concerts starting in 1977 with Aerosmith. I've met the band & hung out with them 7 of the 12 times. Doug used to walk around the club pre - show and talk with fans as well as after. Super nice , down to earth guys. Their tour schedule understandably slowed after Jerry suffered 2 heart attacks. They should've been worldwide superstars.

I am really enjoying Theories of Emptiness. Tom is such a talented guy. I also like his work with Redemption and the song on Demon Hunter’s Exile album Silence the World” is excellent.
Very solid album, maybe two tracks I might skip here and there. Did you get a chance to check out Artificial Language - Distant Glow EP yet? Ohh also recently I've fallen in love with Hippotraktors new album Stasis. Kind of got a post metal vibe like The Ocean, with some Opeth touches and even Tesseract like grooves here and there.

Thought I'd jump up to the now and mention that a couple of weeks ago they released a new album that's even better than the last. An absolute banger. Several tracks you could take a listen to and I'm sure your subs will love it.
