I love that Legs Diamond album. I still have it on vinyl. "I think I got it...I think I got it from you..."

I really like it. It's a Yes album, it's not unlike "Drama" (though mellower). The vocalist (Benoit) sounds enough like Anderson that it's easy on the ears and still sounds like a Yes album (Chris Squire's backing vocals have always been a big part of the vocal sound anyway). It's not a classic or anything, but I think it's an improvement over some of their other recent albums and it's one of the more enjoyable albums I've heard in 2011.

now jamming on:

Testament - The Legacy
Lääz Rockit - Nothing's Sacred

Been playing it all week.

All random; all day

Yeah, I first heard it about 2 years ago and it blew me away. It's been on frequent rotation ever since. There is an overall vibe to this record that makes it so inviting, it puts me in a good mood as soon as it starts. They had great pop sensibility, you never really feel like you're listening to an album length song, it never gets tiring.

Atrocity - Hallucinations
Chastain - For Those Who Dare

Blackfield - Welcome To My DNA

Sepultura - Arise

I'm thinking about getting the 2 disc version of it, but I don't know which mix of the album it is. The version I'm familiar with is the original vinyl version, and I've heard that the newer mix doesn't sound as good as the original.

Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare
