Octavarium

Advantages: Classic Dream Theater, but with a new twist
Disadvantages: More of a "poppy" style that Dream Theater's other work

...introduced on Train of Thought, Octavarium still manages to be a different album, with its own individual style. The range of different song styles on this album is staggering, with the poppy U2esque style of I Walk Beside You, compared to teh PInk Floyd style of parts of the title track Octavarium. Possibly the only thing I would change about this album would be more focus on the progressive style of Dream Theater's earlier albums, such as Awake ...

A fine follow up to an impressive debut

Advantages: Fantastic arrangement of tracks from a band that is pushing the boundaries.
Disadvantages: Sound may not be to the taste of all listeners.

Frances The Mute is the second studio album from the Mars Volta. The band is the brainchild of the former At The Drive-In members Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler Zavala. The album, which is only 5 tracks long but runs for over 70 minutes, is based on the diaries of Jeremy Ward, who was the band's audio artist until his untimely death. The sound is similar to that of their debut Deloused In The Comatorium. Tracks are built up on a number ...

The flute is excellent

Advantages: Agressive lyrics, food for thought
Disadvantages: The audio quality

Initially I got hold of a vinyl of this album and during the upgrade period it was the third album to be added to my CD collections and I’m very proud to own it. Named after 18th century agriculturist, Jethro Tull came into existence in 1967 led by Ian Anderson. Basically from Blackpool & Luton, Great Britain. With typical flute work of Ian Anderson, they made the cross lead of guitar and flute their forte. Guitarist Martin Barre became a part of ...
...Ohara and Doane Parry. Drummer Bunker left the group after “Aqualung” was released. However their first foray “Sunshine Day” into the international scene was massive fiasco. But in 1971 Jethro Tull’s best ever work “Aqualung” was released but Ian Andersson’s lyrics became quite controversial because of his unadulterated statement on religion and society. But they undoubtedly cut out their niché with the magical flute of Ian Anderson and nervous but ...
