Bueno, el viernes pasado el destino musical (?) me llevó a mi y a mi esposo: Volkan al Roxy Live, para disfrutar de la excelente performance de Amorphis.
Como habia dicho en el post de la fecha, el día que cambiaron de lugar, me puse contenta por motivos de distancia, y porque en el Roxy es MUY dificil que una banda suene mal.
Llegamos al lugar cuando la banda soporte estaba tocando, y nos quedamos esperando un poco afuera, para tomar más aire antes de entrar, ya que hacia un calorete insoportable.
Cuando entramos, vimos que no habia mucha gente, y me dio una especie de pena por la banda, porque sentí que no está valorada como lo tendría que estar, y además creo que el valor de la entrada también influyo en varios bolsillos, por lo que varios decidieron no asistir.

Nightwish at the Key Club and the Gibson Amphitheatre

29. Jan. 2012, 0:53 von chouchter

Thu 19 Jan – Nightwish and Sat 21 Jan – Nightwish, Amorphis, Dommin

This is a bit late, but oh well - I've been busy with college stuff.

I've been wanting to see Nightwish for years, and I finally saw them last week - twice. The first two shows of their Imaginaerum world tour. Overall, I was very impressed.

Anette's performance was brilliant, much better than I expected. I'll just say that the first time I listened to Dark Passion Play, I wasn't a huge fan, but her vocals definitely grew on me. I wasn't able to see Nightwish when they were touring for Dark Passion Play, but from what I've heard, Anette's live vocals have improved a lot. In my opinion, her vocals sound even better on Imaginaerum than on Dark Passion Play.

The rest of the band played brilliantly, as I expected. Marco's vocals were amazing, and I also loved Troy's performance. I was hoping that he would play at these shows.

Their setlist included songs from Imaginaerum, Dark Passion Play, Once, and also two cover songs. …

Top 10 Albums of 2011

19. Jan. 2012, 7:50 von ZadionApocalaya

This is the first year I really tried to keep up with releases, but it turns out I picked a bad year for that. As I said in my top songs list, 2011 sucked for albums. It was a major release year - a ton of prominent artists released a new album this last year, and almost all of them were disappointments on some level... including ones that are actually making this list. That is what I find most disappointing - that my top 10 list has albums that were, in general, disappointing. It was also a great year for me though, in that I discovered artists I wouldn't have otherwise. Several of those are making this list as well. What's most important though is that I discovered artists this year that didn't release anything new. This proves that, with all the disappointment, there is always great stuff already out which must be heard!

Now, on with the list....

Top 10 Songs of 2011

16. Jan. 2012, 23:38 von ZadionApocalaya

Well, 2011 kind of sucked as far as albums go, but there was a ton of stand-out tracks even on albums that, on the whole, were not very good. Picking out just ten is a difficulty, but I managed to do so. Note that there's only one song per album, otherwise the entire list would be filled by two or three albums I really loved. ;)

#10: "C'est La Vie" - Protest the Hero
I was massively disappointed with Scurrilous. Seriously, almost every part of it was just bad. Not "C'est la Vie" though - nope, this song has everything that made me love songs like "Sequoia Throne" and "No Stars Over Bethlehem." Crazy riffs, poppy melody, and insightful, thought-provoking lyrics by Arif Mirabdolbaghi (unlike the rest of the album).

#9: "The Drowning Age" - Draconian
I kind of dislike 99% of doom metal and doom metal related artists. It's way too slow for me. …

Best music form 2011

15. Jan. 2012, 21:53 von MarkHaskins61

Originally posted to facebook at new years:

Its that time of year where I attempt to compile a list of the best albums of the year. It is always hard for me to rank albums, since I normally don't even get around to listening to them until a couple of months after they are released. So with that said I'll probably order them alphabetically. I'll include the number of plays courtesy of Last FM, as I'm more likely to have formed a definite opinion on something I've listened to a lot. I've tagged my friends that are most likely to be interested in good music.

Amorphis - The Beginning of Times - 8 plays

I'm still not sure what to think of this one. On first listen I really liked it, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe its because I'm distracted every time I listen to it, but none of the songs seem particularly memorable. Everyone is saying it is a step up from Skyforger, but I really liked that album, and it definitely doesn't compare to Silent Waters. I'll updte this if it grows on me - I have only heard it 8 times so far.
