Review of Dallas' mix cd he gave me over a year ago lol!

Sorry Dallas. Its a little late but lucky for you I was doing some cleaning and came across the cds and even the list! So I went through it again to re-jog my memory a little and figured what the hell I write about it. Especially since you brought it up a few times. So here we go. BTW some of these songs had really bad sound I'm guessing someone burned the mp3s at a really low quality. It was mostly just Edenbridge though.

Disc 1

This whole disc is the band Edenbridge

1.Sunrise In Eden
2.Holy Fire
3.Midnight At Noon
4.Starlight Reverie
5.Velvet Eyes Of Dawn
6.The Whisper Of The Ages
7.Winter Winds
8.Terra Nova
9.See You Fading Afar
10.Shadowplay
11.Undying Devotion
12.Adamantine

I was not crazy about this band. The music is ok but I wasn't sold on the vocalist. She's too weak for the music. This also reminds me a lot of Nightwish especially the newer songs. Nightwish just does this better. This band has broken up now anyway right?

Disc 2

Moonspell
1.Wolfshade
2.An Erotic Alchemy
3.Alma Mater
4.Full Moon Madness
5.At Tragic Heights
6.Scorpion Flower
7.Hers Is The Twilight
8.First Light

9.Kategory V- Liverated Minds
10.Lanfear- The Unrestrained
11.Lanfear- Another Golden Rage
12.Tribuzy- The Attempt
13.Tribuzy- Beast In The Light
14.Tribuzy- Lake Of Sins

I wasn't crazy about Moonspell. I remember a friend of mine that I used to be in a band with giving me a mix tape with some of their songs. I thought they sounded different. I remember it being gothic sounding but I also remember liking the vocals more. Didn't care for these songs.

Kategory V, nothing new. Lanfear was ok I'm just burnt out on Power Metal. Tribuzy I like I have the cd.

Disc 3

This whole disc is full of Rob Rock songs.

1.Slay The Dragon
2.Father Forgive Them
3.The Sun Will Rise Again
4.Eagle
5.Media Machines
6.Stranglehold
7.Rage Of Creation
8.Fields Of Fire
9.Slayer Of Souls
10.Holy Hell
11.When Darkness Reigns
12.Saviors Call
13.Metal Breed
14.Millenial Reign

Is it safe to say Rob Rock is basically a heavier version of Axel Rudi Pell? Thats what it seems like to me. I like Axel. Rob is good too the only thing is I feel like I already have all these songs but they were done by Axel. There are some cool songs though. I've wanted to get Rob's stuff just never did.

Disc 4

1.Therion- Fight Fire With Fire
2.Sonata Arctica- Fade To Black
3.Dark Tranquility- My Friend Misery
4.Thunderstone- Welcome Home
5.Divinefire- The Worlds On Fire
6.Divinefire- Hero
7.Jacobs Dream- Stand Or Fall
8.Jacobs Dream- Victory
9.Novembers Doom- Tears Of The Beautiful
10. - Winter Solstice
11. - The Pale Haunt Departure
12. - In The Absence Of Grace
13. - Through A Childs Eye

I like Therion but not that cover song. I have that Sonata Arctica song. I didn't like it when I first heard it but after listening to their albums I sort of get it and now I love it. Don't like Dark Tranquility, wasn't crazy about Thunderstone either. Divinefire...I liked the vocalist when he was in Narnia, now he's doing this? The music is good but it doesn't fit his vocals at all. How he went from Narnia singing about the lord and then leaves and sings with this band about who knows what, makes no sense to me. Jacobs Dream, I owned one of their cds at one point it was ok, but not enough for me to keep. Novembers Doom....no good.

Disc 5

1.Human Zoo- Communicate
2.Human Zoo-Creatures Of THe Night
3.Immortal Souls- The Cold Northwind
4.Immortal Souls- Cold Street
5.Immortal Souls- Cold Street
6.Khymera- The Damage Is Done
7.Khymera- Since You Went Away
8.Prototype- Trinity
9.The Revoltons- Cell Of Death
10.The Revoltons- The Autumn Believer
11.Samael- Rain
12.The Showdown- We Die Young
13.Soul Embraced- Evolver
14.3 Inches Of Blood- Night Marauders
15.Threshold- Slipstream
16. - Light And Space
17. - Mission Profile

Every time I see Human Zoo it reminds me of Gotthard because of their album. They kind of sound a little like Gotthard in a way. Not a bad band, might pick something up eventually. The song Creatures Of THe Night sounds like Helloweens Dr. Stein from unarmed because of the saxaphone haha.

Immortal Souls, no good. Khymera, I almost like anything any of the guys from PC69 do but in this case I'm not crazy about it. Funny how they used the old name before they were PC69 but just changed the letters a little bit.

Prototype, The Revoltons, Samael, The Showdown Soul Embraced...meh. 3 Inches Of Blood.... I just don't get it. Why do people like them? I've tried and even owned a cd didn't like it.

Threshold I own and like them very much. Wierd version of Slipstream though that must be an edit.

Disc 6

This first 9 songs are Thunderstone
1.Virus
2.Eyes Of A Stranger
3.Spread My Wings
4.Until We Touch The Burning Sun
5.Mirror Never Lies
6.Forth Into The Black
7.Tool Of The Devil
8.Without Wings
9.Land Of Innocence

10.Crematory- Die Abrechnung
11.Crematory- Hollenbrand
12.Borknagar- Future Reminiscence
13.Circus Maximus- Sin
14.Circus Maximus- Imperial Destruction
15.Holy Blood- To Heaven

I wasn't crazy about the cover song Thunderstone did on the other disc but I like the songs that are on here. Their original stuff is much better. They are another one of those bands, I've heard of them but just never bothered to get anything. Might have to change that.

Crematory, don't like. Borknagar, I own some of their albums they are pretty good, I still need to pick up the new one. Circus Maximus, again another band that I like but don't any of their stuff. Holy Blood, didn't like it.

Thats all, only took me over a year? lol I Hope that made your day

better late than never

Wow, that is a task! Lots of good music there also
