Parasomnia - Dream Theater

The gang is back for another Dream Theater review. We started this show with a new album from the Prog giants, and with this one back, and back to their original line up, we couldn't resist.   We tackle Parasomnia, get the ball, and march it down the field for a solid score. 

The Boys have reconvened, and recap their time away. 

Back around to Aaron's pick this episode, and he went back to his metal roots, with And Justice For All, by the biggest of the Big 4, Metallica.  Since we all have a TON of history with this album, and band, this episode is not for the faint hearted.

Jake is back in control, and it's his album pick this episode! He brought to the stage, The Stage by the incredible Avenged Sevenfold.  He assembled the gang, and they snap fought their way from start to finish.  Just great album after great album 'round these parts, and it don't look like it'll be slowin' down any time soon. 

Rusty is under the sea, so Jake, Aaron and Britton set sail on the third episode of Fire Song Chats, where we each pick a song, and only discuss the song. no rankings, no competition, just the love of music.  Jake picked Parkway Drive - Prey Aaron picked Twelve Foot Ninja - Shuriken Britton picked TesseracT - War Of Being

Another FSC! This time Britton is off galivanting, so Jake, Aaron and Rusty come together for the second episode of Fire Song Chats, where we each pick a song, and only discuss the song. no rankings, no competition, just the love of music.  Rusty picked Primus - The Seven Aaron picked Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes To Midnight Jake picked Gojira - Flying Whales

Britton's album pick this episode, and he pulled from his bag of tricks New Levels New Devils by the incredible POLYPHIA.  The group jumped on the task, and went the rounds necessary to accurately place it among the pantheon.  Controversial scoring? Who got it right? Find out now. 

This episode, with Jake in the winds, Britton, Aaron and Rusty come together for the inaugural Fire Song Chats, where we each pick a song, and only discuss the song. no rankings, no competition, just the love of music.  Britton picked Anthem  by Rush Aaron picked Marigold by Caligulas Horse Rusty picked Reign in Madness by Symphony X

Rusty is back up at the helm, and graced the crew with his pick, Ashes of the Wake, by Lamb of God. The boys jumped at it, and with incredible fervor, wagged their chins and flapped their gums, discussing the amazing album put forth. They then, in a feat of raw intrigue, overturned every stone and branch in search for the delicious grubs of metal. There was much to be had, and they feasted.  

Aaron's pick, and he pulled from deep down, one of the true masterpieces from the early 2000's, Blackwater Park from the prog/death metal giants, Opeth. With the help of the rest of the Fellas, we pulled and tugged and twisted it to our hearts' content, and we were the ones frayed at the edges, whilst the album stood strong.
