lets look at some of the gems that have come out, and ones that will be coming out.
- Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura proving that christian rock can be utterly amazing, former Spock's Beard frontman Neal Morse, has created an epic progressive rock masterpiece. Detailing the life and times of reformation figurehead Martin Luther, it is a delight for the ears and the mind.
- Within Temptation - The Heart of Everything Dutch symphonic rockers Within Temptation return after the excellent album "The Silent Force". Combining the band's signature haunting vocals with operatic chanting and plenty of hard rock riffs, WT's latest offering is brilliant.
- Rush - Snakes and Arrows Legendary Canadian prog rockers Rush, return to the scene again with their 18th studio album. The first single "Far Cry" has been released on the band's official website, and judging from that song, we are going to be in for something really special when this album gets released in May.
- Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet Steven Wilson delivers the goods again with PT's new album. Having already played tracks from it on previous tours, confirmation can be given that the band's usual mix of psychadelic music and poignant lyrics is well intact, and better than ever. Fear of a Blank Planet is a harsh attack on modern society, condemning many aspects of popular society, "xbox is a god to me" Wilson snipes in the title track.
- Symphony X - Paradise Lost Arguably one of the most underappreciated progressive metal bands out there at the moment. Russell Allen's powerful vocals have carried Symphony X to the highs of the genre. Their last album "The Odysey" was about as epic as they come... will they be able to top that one with their new offering? Only time will tell.
- Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos Here it is, the big one. The biggest progressive metal band in the world are back. Now signed with Road Runner records, but not having lost anything that made them such pioners in the field, DT are looking likely to have created their greatest, most complete creation to date. Insider information points to this being a masterpiece of Dickensian proportions. June cannot possibly come quickly enough.
If Southern Rap dies and East coast and West coast rap comes back then yes maybe it will but if Southern Rap still exists then no it will be a bad year for music.

Is it everybody back together? Or just Axle and some idiot band members. Idiot band members? No he has some cool band members now, though it would be cool if they'd get back together. I seen them Live a few months back, good show. Read about the Album here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Democracy_(album) Already heard some songs, sounds good.

[QUOTE="123Dan123"][QUOTE="NicktehImperial"]What about the new Linkin park album? Doesn't anyone love Nu metal anymore?NicktehImperial
:lol: Linkin Park :lol: Whats so bad about them? I recently heard their songs on Youtube and they're good. I hate them with a passion. Let me listen to those "Youtube" videos you heard.

Read about the Album here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Democracy_(album) Already heard some songs, sounds good. Without Slash, GNR just won't sound the same. No matter how good the guitarist in the band will be, he won't have that same Slash sound. Then again, I'll still check this album out.
I'm still waiting on that "Best of the Kazoo" album. It shall sit proudly on my shelf next to classics like "Best of the Cowbell," "Best of the Clicking Spoons," and "Best of the Deaf-Mute Orchestra."
Nah, seriously, anyone know if the new Dr. Dre album is still scheduled to be released sometime in this century?

:lol: Linkin Park :lol: Whats so bad about them? I recently heard their songs on Youtube and they're good. I hate them with a passion. Let me listen to those "Youtube" videos you heard. I think they're better than NIN, Korn, and Limp bizkit. (Although Wes Borland is a better guitar player than the two guitar players in Linkin park, but he left Limp bizkit a LOOOOOOOONG time ago so... P.O.D is a different story, but I think we need more Nu metal bands.
it will be an amazing year. new albums from Wumpscut, the Cruxshadows, Assemblage 23, God Module, Combichrist, VNV nation, the Birthday Massacre, and Gothminister along with other releases that i don't know about yet or haven't been announced.Â

That turned me off. They have a few goos songs. Not enough for me to like them though.
No only that, but me and my friend James will be famous with our metal band. Not death metal for god sakes. It will be much like, Metallica and Lincoln Park combined. Wait for us. You will know when it happens. We will be legendary.
but since he f**ked up his mind on drugs and got rid of twiggy, i can see it probs being Golddn Age Of Grotesque part 2... and that is NOT a good thing. Its bad, very bad.

You calling NIN nu-metal? you ever heard NIN? Industrial stuff pal... and they were around years before nu-metal. Goodday sir.
Other than those, I'm looking forward to Minutes To Midnight (Linkin Park), Lost Highways (Bon Jovi) and many, many others. Oh, and Chinese Democracy, I hope.

Been on its plenty of times, also see years active its 1989-present, nu-metal started in like what 94???
Ya. 2007's gonna rock what with DT + PT + Rush putting out new albums..... and Chinese Democracy (pehaps) if it is released >_> Thanks for the info, listening to Far Cry now and it sounds good. Bit worried about DT though, because somehow I felt Octavarium sounded kind of mainstream. Yay! Far Cry rocks!
