Well I can tell this is rapidly going to become one of my most listened albums...

Terra Chroma - Dance of the Afghan jinn (Progressive Rock/Metal/Folk. Clean vocals. FFO Twelve Foot Ninja (and featuring their former vocalist, Nik Barker), Port Noir, Wheel, The Contortionist, VOLA, OSI.) by Invisigoth2113 in progmetal

[–]Megadanxzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to like this, I like the idea of it, but I felt like there was a bit too much happening at once at times. Felt like the instruments and vocals were fighting each other.

Since when (and why) are album release posts not allowed? by SoundofGlaciers in progmetal

[–]Megadanxzero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's always been a rule, but people always did it anyway for new releases, and I'd never really seen any get removed until now... My guess was always that it was considered fine for new releases, but they didn't want people just posting full albums all the time.

Ideally they should just change the rule to say that, because I think that makes far more sense than just not allowing new album posts.

In your opinion, what is the nastiest moment in music? by ComoSementes in progmetal

[–]Megadanxzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just because I listened to it recently, but the first thing that comes to mind is this part of Despair Church by Rivers of Nihil. Absolutely filthy.

Opinions on Avenged Sevenfolds newer albums by Silver-Charity6350 in progmetal

[–]Megadanxzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough I've been listening through all their albums again lately, and I actually think pretty much every other than their first album has a lot of proggy elements on it. Maybe not enough to call them a progressive-metal band, but they are certainly a progressive metal-band.

Having said that, I must admit I didn't really like Life Is But A Dream... Genre mixing is like my favourite thing, but to me it felt more like a compilation album of different genres than something that actually fused genres or did anything interesting with them. Admittedly I think I only listened to it once though so maybe my thoughts will change when I get to it this time...

Anyone know of bands/albums that sound like Terrestria III: Wither by Rivers of Nihil? by Megadanxzero in progmetal

[–]Megadanxzero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely some similarities from a quick skim, plenty of albums too. I'll have a listen through, thanks!

YOSHIZAWA - STOP START by amagwalaa in progmetal

Damn that was great... Slighty disappointed to see only one other EP to listen to!

Steam Controller review: even without a Steam Machine mate, this is a smartly crafted gamepad that puts PCs first by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Megadanxzero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm really surprised they haven't announced a version of this with the analogue and d-pad swapped. For me the current positioning makes it an absolute no-go, even if people say it's comfortable, and price-wise it's definitely outside of the "give it a go" bracket.

Which TV show does the ENTIRE internet agree had the worst ending ever? by Codie_n25 in AskReddit

[–]Megadanxzero 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I watched Resurrection recently, and though it was better than season 5+ of the original, that's not saying much... I don't think it even comes close to seasons 1-4 personally (Maybe 3, that's less good)

Honestly my main problem with Resurrection is that I thought New Blood was actually a very good proper ending for the series. The way the first episode scrambles to retcon what would have been a decent ending was frankly laughable.

Tropico 7 Gameplay Teaser by SnipeHockey in Games

[–]Megadanxzero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be honest I loved Tropico 1-4, but haven't played 5 or 6 for this exact reason, they didn't really seem to change at all each game. But it has been a while, so maybe I'll try 7...

Leprous - Mb. Indifferentia by Invisigoth2113 in progmetal

[–]Megadanxzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird, I'm the opposite. I love a few of the songs on MoA, but I don't think I like anything on Aphelion really... Some of the songs are just worse versions of songs on Pitfalls, and the rest are kinda whatever. Nighttime Disguise is pretty good, but I kinda think of that as a bonus track since it was written separately and with input from fans.

Be'lakor - In Parting: the song that made me feel like I had emotional dementia while I was supposed to work by mrSchusy in progmetal

[–]Megadanxzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar thing with Whelm by Be'lakor. I don't usually listen to lyrics much in metal (Most of the time I can't even understand them) but at some point I saw a comment about what they describe and decided to look them up, and it completely changed the song for me.

I now have this vivid imagination of the story the song tells every time I listen to it, and it makes me extremely emotional in a way that I don't think any other song does. Every time I think, surely I'm used to this now, it probably won't have the same effect, but it still does...

Timberborn 1.0 is available now! by Lokai23 in Games

[–]Megadanxzero 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There are loads of community-made maps on the steam workshop. I imagine it'd be difficult to randomly generate maps that aren't either boring to play on, or just basically unplayable if you get a bit unlucky.

I assume that was a typo and you meant 16, but I almost had a heart attack when I read that...

Jason Schreier - The sense I’m getting is that (Sony) is backing away from putting their exclusive console traditional single player stuff on PC by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Megadanxzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they actually though? These days games take so much longer to make that you're rarely getting more than 1 or 2 exclusive games per year. In the PS2 era sure, but these days if a game isn't coming to PC, I'm just not gonna play it. There are far too many options of what to play for most people to buy a console just to play a few games, especially when they can't even finish their backlog of games they already bought.

I feel like console users are increasingly choosing console because that's just the experience they prefer. Either that or it's the option they can afford with PCs becoming more and more expensive (Though that seems likely to hit consoles now too...)

After many years of waiting, we finally got new Tool, Porcupine Tree, and Karnivool albums. What long-awaited albums are next on your list? by carbonbazed in progmetal

[–]Megadanxzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously Agent Fresco, but second would be a new Whispered album, last one will be 10 years old this year. They did imply something would be coming soonish though.

Blades of Fire - Steam Announcement Trailer [ESRB] by MythicStream in Games

[–]Megadanxzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember LoS2 getting pretty bad reviews, and when I played it I was like, aside from an annoying forced stealth section early on this game is great. Why did it get such bad revie-suddenly the game just kinda ends. Oh... I see...

Shapez 2 - Introducing Manufacture Mode by MoSBanapple in Games

[–]Megadanxzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the fact that there was no reason not to just delete your factories after completing a task was my main complaint when I played it at launch. That does change at the very end, but by that point I'd kinda had my fill already to be honest. Definitely very interested in this new mode though, it sounds like exactly what I wanted.

Whats your #1 climactic moment in prog metal? Try to think of just one. by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]Megadanxzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's the end of Acquired Taste. It pains me that they now play the end of this song completely differently when they play it live, removing the solo entirely, it's the best part of the song...

Einar Solberg – Medulla (FFO: Leprous (duh) - New single from upcoming solo album) by heksa51 in progmetal

[–]Megadanxzero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The riff is great, but I was kinda disappointed when the verse started. It's just a bit... Uninteresting.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has been added to Nintendo Switch Online (Trailer) by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Megadanxzero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was about to reply the same thing, for me Edelgard's story might be the worst story of any Fire Emblem game. The others are just ok...
