albums/music that blew you away

07-21-2002, 11:49 AM

Having just downloaded the new Night at the Opera album,
by Blind Guardian, I was so impressed by it’s most sterling qualities, namely reasonably intelligent lyrics and very intense songs, made so by extensive vocals making use of many voices and suchlike, but mainly the sum of the parts combined to make a album that just blew me away,
So good it is, that after just listening to the first 2 songs I bought it from amazon.de,
But Such albums/music are I feel rare, do share thine own perhaps.

There are too many Dramnek! But I know what you mean. Occassionaly I find an album that touches me on a deeper level. That surpasses the superficiality that so many modern albums possess.

Albums like My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans, and Opeth - Still Life have truly touched me and downright changed me in some unexplainable way.

Blind Guardian may not be my thing, but I'm happy that you have found something special in their music. I wish more people would look at music's built-up boundaries and transcend them.

I don't have that one. I've got The Book of Secrets, and I think it's pretty good. Is the other one better?

Paul Horn's "Traveler"
I was given a copy to "use" for insomnia and was "blown away".
It is interesting music, but to sleep with it playing takes you to faraway peaceful dimensions you just can't reach otherwise. I am sure it was named "Traveler" for a reason!

As far as anything else goes, I'm too old and too old school to remember the ones I owned in my younger days that were really good the whole way through. I've listened to so much music that I don't even play it in the house anymore. I do have a few CD's out in the garage to listen to when I play around in my shop...Alice In Chain's "Dirt", Stabbing Westward's "Wither, Blister, Burn & Peel" and "Stone Temple Pilot's "Purple".

I need some new stuff though...will be keeping my eyes on this thread.
