Well, yesterday I picked up the new Megadeth, and here's what I have
to say: F*CK ALL Y'ALL. I think the album rocks, and I'm not going
to take the cop out and say "its a good album, just not for
Megadeth." Yes, there is a large amount of cheese on the album,
but megadeth has always had a cheese factor higher than most bands
(ie forced death-related lyrics, lame song concepts, etc etc), so
if you bought the CD expecing it to be all cookie-monster, you should
have known better. The biggest problem I have with the album is
the lack of shred. There are so many places where it would have fit
too. Its like Dave said, "Hey Marty, instead of playing arpeggios
at 3000 bpm, why don't you just sit there and play the same note 4 times
a measure, huh?" In spite of that, the album still rocks, and it is
not completly void of guitar (view Time: The End). Most reviews of this
album have been pretty scathing, but that just goes to prove that when
everyone says the same thing, it's almost garunteed to be WRONG!

No, it's not a real video - I made it myself. I took my favorite moments
(chokes and armlocks, mostly) from Hoyce Gracie's fights that I have on
videotape, and dubbed JLMB as an audio track. I wish I had real video
editing equipment, because it would really kick ass :)
Speaking of Gracie, the Ultimate Fighting Championship 22 is going to be
in Lake Charles, LA, in three weeks. I wish I was Louisiana jammer #4
right now, 'cause I'd be able to see it in person :) 550 miles is too
far to drive on a Friday, though....
Take care, and hail Gracie jiu-jitsu,

I have no idea, but well IMO i enjoyed most of the songs he sang on Fire
Garden, he has a midranged voice that while not a master singer, hes very
adequate, and much better than a lot of shit singers in a lot of bands. Id
rather listen to vai sing than a lot of the so called prog metal vocalists in
lesser known bands..

MAYADOME - Near Life Experience SWEDEN
Rating: * * * * (out of 5) 1999
SIEGEN
SR-0013
Playing time: 49:09
Mayadome:
Bassel Elharbiti: Lead Vocals
Fredrik Kj=F6rling: Lead Guitar
Erik Grandin: Bass
Sebastian Okupski: Keyboards
Teddy M=F6ller: Drums & Vocals
Tracks:
1. Restorepair (7:21)
2. Scent Of Lilac (5:18)
3. Praise Me For I Have Sinned (6:31)
4. Able To Feel (8:50)
5. Pride Painted Grey (6:22)
6. Angina Closing In (6:44)
7. Near Life Experience (8:17)
This is the second release from the Swedish neo-classical
progressive metal band Mayadome. Their first album was called
"Paranormal Activity" and it was released in 1996. I'm surprised
that I haven't heard about them before, as they are very talented
musicians and their music is technically blending and extremely
tight. They also have an excellent singer, Bassel Elharbiti.
Their music is a mix between Dream Theater, Helloween, Iron
Maiden, King Diamond, Yngwie Malmsteen, Pain Of Salvation, Power
Of Omens, Vanden Plas and Queensryche.
My favourite tracks are "Praise Me For I Have Sinned", "Able to
Feel" which contains a nice guest appearance by Tina Gunnarsson on
vocals and "Near Life Experience".
I'm sure that Mayadome got what it takes to be Sweden's next big
music export in the progressive metal genre together with Pain Of
Salvation. Mayadome is a Near Life Experience!

8. Dress Rehearsal (4:56)
9. Supply and Demand (6:11)
This is the debut CD from the progressive symphonic rock band
Tiles. They have released two CDs after this one, and both of them
are very impressive and so is this debut. The band sounds so
professional and they are playing with a skill and confidence not
often heard on debut CDs. Even the production is very professional
for being an independent release. The album has a very clear
sound.
Their music is reminiscent to Dream Theater, Galahad, Queensryche,
Rush, Saga, Triumph and Yes, especially Rush. It's very melodic
yet technically brilliant. The guitarist Chris Herin sounds like
Alex Lifeson of Rush and the vocalist is great. My favorite tracks
are "Analysis Paralysis", the marvelous "Token Pledge", "Bridges
of Grace", "Dancing Dogs", "Scattergram" and "Dress Rehearsal"
that are very complex.
This is a wonderful album that is a pride in every record
collection. Definitely worth checking out!

TILES - Fence the Clear USA
Rating: * * * * * 1997

SPR 97001
Total Time (57:44)
(Japan - 74:16)
Track Listing:
1. Patterns (4:31) a. The Balancing Act b. Patterns, 2. Beneath
The Surface (5:00), 3. Cactus Valley (6:32), 4. Another Hand
(6:24), 5. The Wading Pool (6:20), 6. Gameshow (3:40), 7. Fallen

(0:50), 10. Checkerboards (14:43), 11. Splinters of Truth* (0:50),
12. No Failure* (5:38)
* Japanese Bonus Tracks
Tiles are Mark Evans on Drums and Percussion, Chris Herin on
Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Mandolin and keyboards, Paul Rarick
on Lead & Backing Vocals and Jeff Whittle on Bass Guitar. They are
all talented musicians. Paul Rarick is a powerful singer, Chris
Herin a splendid guitarist, Jeff Whittle a skillful bassist and
Mark Evans a competent drummer.
Tiles are playing tight progressive hard rock / Prog Metal in the
same vein as Rush, Dream Theater, Queensryche, Leger De Main and
Yes. This is their second CD and it's technically amazing and
complex, with mood shifts and odd tempo changes. It also got a
very good and clean production.
Here you can find fine tunes such as "Patterns" with its jazzy
intro and Yes influenced riffs, "Beneath The Surface" is a good
rock song, "Cactus Valley", "Another Hand" with its marvelous
instrumental passage, acoustic guitar based ballad "The Wading
Pool", "Gameshow", the instrumental classically inspired "Falling
Pieces" that is played on a moog synth, the symphonic "Changing
The Guard", the instrumental acoustic "Gabby's Happy Song" and the
15-minute progressive masterpiece "Checkerboards" with its many
time changes that is closing the album.
This is a record for all fans of Dream Theater and Rush, and a
milestone in progressive rock. An extra + for the great cover and
the 12 page CD booklet. I recommend you to buy this album right
away.

TILES - Presents Of Mind USA
Rating: * * * * February 1999
INSIDEOUT / LMP / SPV
SPV 085-31382CD
Playing time: 52:27
Additional musicians:
Kevin Chown - Bass
Matthew Parmenter - Violin
Sonya Mastick - Percussion
Mark Evans - Drums
Tracklist: Static (5.43), Modification (3.44), Crossing Swords
(1.06), Facing Failure (5.42), The Learning Curve (4.42), Ballad
of the Sacred Cows (6.58), The Sandtrap Jig (0.48), Taking Control
(5.13), Safe Procedures (7.04), Reasonable Doubt (11.22).
This is the third album from the four-piece US band Tiles, and
it's almost as good as the previous album "Fence The Clear" from
1997. Still you can hear the reminiscences to Queensryche and Rush
although they aren't that obvious any longer. Perhaps you could
compare this album though with Queensryche's "Promised Land" and
"Hear in the Now Frontier". The music is intricate progressive
metal with good melodies and arrangements.
The singer is really good and the guitarist is a real maestro. The
highlights are the opener "Static", "The Learning Curve", "Ballad
of the Sacred Cows", "Taking Control", "Safe Procedures" and the
last track "Reasonable Doubt" that contains violin played by
Discipline's Matthew Parmenter. As said in the press info "the
lyrics focus on how the human mind adapts to the many different
and changing situations life presents".
The cover artwork that is displaying the music very well is made
by Hugh Syme, known for his work with Aerosmith, Arena, Fates
Warning, Bon Jovi, Kiss, Megadeth, Queensryche, Rush and
Whitesnake among others. I recommend you to buy this CD
immediately.
