Beautiful, I agree, he has the misfortune that David released so many beautiful albums during those years that this one and Station to Station have taken a bit of a back seat; We Are the Dead is one of his top songs for me.

Nice, but not as beautiful as some of his others, I'd say a 4 fits. "It reveals David's love for the Stones." For one in particular, I would say, of the Stones, ehm... XD

Don't hold it against me, but I, the one from the other branch, always find him the same as ever and a bit boring too... A laghee de Lècch.

Everyone has their own tastes, of course...

Heard the name from...BOSSI.

Until Dream Evil released excellent albums, after that I'm not sure. Good tip.

I burned the house.

I've never listened to a damn thing they said, I guess it's time to make up for it.

This is the opener Varus Battle that recounts the resistance of the Germanic tribes against an assault by Roman troops. If Rome had won, it would have practically prevented the Lombards from founding Lombardy itself. Here is the musical rendition of that historic resistance:

I'm sorry, but I cannot access external content such as YouTube videos. If you provide the text you'd like me to translate, I'd be happy to assist!

So you can feel them, then let me know what you think of this song.

A cover album by the Maiden? The third one by Harris and the gang should be left just as it is, sacrilege...

right, dammit!

In my opinion, this album is hilarious :D

Like: Iron Maiden Goes To Circus. And it’s not like Iron Maiden were that serious, just look at their covers XD

Tonight I put "Images and Words" back in the stereo due to some unshakeable will up in the sky. I didn't dislike it, on the contrary, it felt like watching a movie. Very smooth and measured pop progressive. The metal has nothing to do with it, the instrumentation is metal, but the sound is neutral and precise, giving a lot of power and dynamics to the contortions of the compositions. The cover has always directed me, the images in my mind flowed, a mix between Metropolis and the Cowboy Bebop movie. Nostalgia.

Damn, I don't know why I wrote the comment here.

In the '90s, a friend of mine was really into them, but since I know zero about them, could you recommend, dragon, one album (and only one) that is decent? I listened to A Dramatic Turn of Events online and it seemed bad and cloying to me. Still, I would like to have one of their albums.

Psycho or Images and Word or Metropolis part II. And keep in mind that they will probably disgust you as well.

Well, of course, before buying them I listen to them on YouTube!

I find When Dream and Day Unite their most beautiful album, and it is truly a remarkable record from beginning to end.

Always found it useless. An embarrassing singer, a bassist who writhes but doesn’t feel overpowered by the worst production in history that only showcased a fluid yet impersonal drum and a guitar that frankly bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.. The only redeemable track on this album seems to be called Six PM. My high school friends were crazy about it. I played Mother's Milk, The Downward Spiral, Dirt, and Nothing's Shocking and told them... to make rock'n'roll, a 7-string guitar and a 1,000,000,000 Watt amplifier aren’t enough... Paraphrasing, of course, Mr. Roger Waters who, in turn, was paraphrasing Slow Hand, Mr. Eric Clapton....

Well... never digested.

But why do you have to hurt yourselves at all costs?? There's so much stuff to listen to! XD

Come on, talking bad about the Drim Fiater is the best pastime of debasium, let’s not deny ourselves this pleasure!

Guys... if you don't like it, that's okay... but stop coming up with excuses... it's you who have earwax in your ears that reaches all the way to your colon... come on!

Unclog me, little spirit!!!

Dear ZB, in pharmacies they sell specific tools intended for that purpose...

But you never give me any joy...

Oh, if only you knew... we fans of a CERTAIN SOCCER TEAM have gotten used to it... hehehe

@ Psycopathia: I agree with Zanna. Metropolis part II has a nice concept, and there are some acoustic and piano interludes that are quite good, recurring main themes, etc. Images and World is nice (without overdoing it) in the first part, but then it starts to lose itself in those convoluted horrors based solely on technical execution, lacking any thread of passion: hyper-technicalism for no reason, practically! It's up to you, but I think both albums should be listened to in full at least once in a lifetime, if only to appreciate the technical execution of the various musicians (in fact, that's all that's interesting about them). Freaks aimed at hyper-technical performance who can't infuse any art or feeling into everything they do. As always, De Gustibus...
