Three new album reviews up at Progged

Published on January 7, 2006 By BlueDev In Music

So, over the break, my bro and I have had a bit more time to opine on some musical offerings. Feel free to stop by and tell us what you think.

Porcupine Tree: Deadwing: Porcupine Tree released a progressive masterpiece with 2003's "In Absentia". Can they repeat the feat with their newest offering?

Linkin Park: Hybrid Theora: One of the biggest of the rap-metal offerings from the school of nu-metal, do either of these albums have anything to offer the discerning listener? Are they even really two albums, or just evil clones of each other?

Stream of Passion: Embrace the Storm: Arjen's most recent Ayreon disc, "The Human Equation" was my top album of 2004. How does the debut album from his first band in 10 years fare?

I haven't. Honestly, I was so disillusioned by the fact that "Meteora" was so identical to "Hybird Theory" I just stopped following LP in any way. I may have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.
