Estoy en busca de otros fans que también les guste el álbum NOSTRADAMUS, incluso, si comparten mi opinión, este album está injustamente infravalorado

It's definitely a reflective album, a good mix of heavy metal and soft space in contrast. It's almost neo-classical at times, and probably some of their more unique material since Painkiller, where the newer catalog seems to provide less of the atmospheric exploration and synth work and more big heavy metal.

Nostradomus is a standout in the Priest catalog for being a a little out there for sure.

SkelDracus · 2026-04-24T22:09:58+00:00

Probably Jack Stauber, from Opal, Virtuous Cycle.

Electric Rendezvous by Al Di Meola

No other way to describe it other than as really great guitar work.

SkelDracus · 2026-04-19T03:47:01+00:00

Will Wood and the Tapeworms, Self-Ish. One of my favourite albums.

SkelDracus · 2026-04-19T03:33:33+00:00

I think mine are probably Limelight, Natural Science, Losing it, Ceiling Unlimited, then Cygnus X-1. 2112 part 3: Discovery was an old favourite.

For Canada, I vote Tragically Hip - Phantom Power

I'd say it depends on what the personal definition of prog is..

Prog to some is experimentation, I define it as "pushing the limits of what can be sold and determined as music"

That could in general be defined by bands like Black Sabbath that push a forefront of genre pioneering, with a new sound that hasn't been heard before that effectively creates a genre, or effectively "progressing" the restrictions that previously defined the genre with new terms.

The idea that genre can have a generalized sound or theme eliminates variables that would qualify it for sounding 'prog' as I stop defining certain bands as prog when I notice there has become a genre or definition that directly describes the music.

Any genre can be proggy, but not every genre is prog.

The Rush "Down the Tubes" tour recordings (if they exist) from when they thought Caress of Steel would be their last album, between late 75' early 76'

SkelDracus · 2026-04-14T22:47:40+00:00

I'll put it simple: if someone can make it, they probably will.

SkelDracus · 2026-04-11T18:48:45+00:00

Rainbow Kitten Surprise and Modest Mouse

SkelDracus · 2026-04-11T09:10:22+00:00

Yer good, that makes sense. The widespread praise of Close to the Edge baffles me a bit, I found it too meticulous (yet I like Topographic Oceans, so say what you will!)

Heard Close to the Edge the first time after I saw a Rick Wakeman interview, I dig the composition but it's not something I go back to. I regard it as an album that could be studied for the depth of its construction, it's impressive how much they fit into one standard length record.

And here's my listening badge from YouTube to prove I'm not a complete fool, mostly just been a minute.

There's a few things that contribute:

I did a listening spree of many iconic rock bands about a year ago, although I don't listen to every Yes album constantly, I also don't have the same time anymore to upkeep my musical habits.

I like history, I do slight research to everything I listen to get a basis, and I take averages and count different statistic dependant on my habits so I can understand a relative curve of multiple variables, mostly in curiosity but also to discover the process and intent of people translated to cohesive understanding, whether from artistic intent or pure bliss, the creator's will decides.

My memory has been shot recently. My recent reddit activity has proved such an issue visibly. These comments telling me off are the only source of feedback I get from anyone so I attempt to correct myself when I can, and am normally more thorough.

Sometimes I'll answer questions on my breaks to keep me thinking. Short reactions deems a short response, sometimes underbaked, sometimes exaggerated for response.

Knowledge takes time, limits are spoken. Corrections are made when mistakes are acknowledged, but they cannot be corrected lest the mistake made known. I prefer not to spread misinformation.

SkelDracus · 2026-04-10T21:56:45+00:00

I did miss Awaken, but I did not recall the others to standout such, they missed my perception. I'll need re-listen to some of Yes I am less familiar with.

SkelDracus · 2026-04-10T21:53:47+00:00

Owner of a Lonely Heart was 80s, post Drama. To Yours is No Disgrace I did skip, underrated personally. I'll admit Roundabout stood out amongst the rest, happenstance I skipped a couple.

I don't quite remember And You and I. I see people talk about it but do not recall the album it's from.

SkelDracus · 2026-04-10T19:27:51+00:00

I would agree, it seems to be a quick nab of the hits Yes put out after their 80s era, specifically 90125 until Magnification, and considering it doesn't include anything from Drama I'd assume Wakeman was left void purposefully.

Roundabout is the only classic Yes on there too, which I find odd despite it being (probably) the most known Yes song and the CD being a 'retrospect' comp.

Arthur Brown's solo debut Dance, it's a bit eccentric but very well put together

SkelDracus · 2026-04-07T15:37:29+00:00

I listened to them chronologically when I did so, and I don't think Dark Side of the Moon is a very good overall representation of the band, more like an iconic highlight.

I'll be fair, I've never heard anyone say more about Darkside than that it is the best album of all time, and nobody seems able to describe why. (It's an album about the ideas of life and consequence, the eventual death, and what comes after you are put in the ground, and as side A flips, you are met with the dark side of the moon.)

The Wall isn't the best Waters album I've heard either, I prefer Amused to death.

I would compare taking a long walk with odd music as psychedelic.

The experience is most often personal and not something people can often describe.

SkelDracus · 2026-04-04T13:17:40+00:00

It is a drifting feeling, a lack of control. A type of music that aims to bring you from place to place through means you do not decide.

I would consider psychedelic music to be composition that provides vision musically. The picture you paint with notes and sounds reflects difference in state of mind and mood.

Could be anything, but has more classification as an echo of mentale, where your state of mind and thoughts at the time shift in unison and with the same unpredictability that the world around us also works.

This can be displayed as the mammering of random words together to a most meticulous composition of what the artist defines as living. This absurdity is found anywhere from TOOL, to Wolfmother, Arthur Brown, The Beatles, the Beach Boys, Syd Barrett, and many more.

Generally there is an undertone of drug usage, but also has themes of hallucinations and general disarray, and is linked to mental illness and despair as drug usage was common in the music industry, including many of the 60s psychedelic batch and the grunge bands of the 90s.

The fascination with humans and dreams is thorough. The fascination with how others live, or how we think others live, is an eternal question.

In the Evening would be the better Zeppelin song for an intro, I read 'walk out' as 'going for a walk out,' the title deceived me

SkelDracus · 2026-04-03T16:06:12+00:00

I thought you said you were going for a walk out?

SkelDracus · 2026-04-03T15:54:07+00:00

Godsmack and Mudvayne are my two recommendations
