More specifically: Attack Music, Legion of Stoopid, and Cryosleep. I thought of them as OK, but not a band I'd be long term interested in. However, after hearing the song Rise on a friend's Myspace profile, and being very impressed, I decided to look into them more.

I have most of their songs now, and my opinion on them has changed dramatically; from just OK to almost amazing. Their mixture of video game music and metal has resulted in something I had been looking for for quite a while now. Basically, I'm not picky on lyrics, the more epic sounding the instrumentals are, the better.

Their latest album, Redeemer, has easily earned it's way onto my list of favorite albums. When I first got that album, I couldn't stop listening to it. For 3-4 days straight, I listened to almost nothing but that album. While the whole album is great, 3 songs on it fastly became favorites: Rise, Reanimator, and Empire.

I wont bother describing what I think about all their albums, but I will list some of my favorite songs NOT on Redeemer:
Anthem Apocalyptica
Cryosleep
Earthbound
Hybrid
Judgement Fray
Legion of Stoopid
Machinaeguns
Multiball
Player One
Sidology Episode 2 - Trinity
Sidstyler
Timeline
Winterstorm

If you like epic video game music and/or the metal genre, and you haven't already, I strongly recommend checking them out. They offer a lot of their music free to download on their website.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/Linkman/journal/2006/03/17/eud_pissed.

I guess it's about time I changed that.

Second of all, I'm a bit pissed off right now. Dream Theater is doing a concert here in less than 2 weeks, but I can't go. A friend and I were supposed to go, but tickets sold out before we got a chance to get some.

Hopefully they come around again this summer.]]>
