Since I've been kind of nostalgic about the old times, i think would be good to rewrite this..
The First one was Train of Thought, Holy Shit, when I listened to "tot", it was truly like I had found the best metal album ever (2004), until that time I had no clue wtf would be progressive metal, so after a few months Octavarium came out, that guy who did not know anything about DT had became an unconditional fan, and that was really thrilling to listen to the first songs of Octavarium in my mp3 player.The first time that I heard The Answer Lies Within and Octavarium, I really had a thing, that fucking restrained cry that wants to escape, but I don't let it out, until I listen to Scenes From a Memory, after that I couldn't hold it anymore, also I can not forget the unbelievable An Evening that They played the entire Scenes From a Memory, probably the best concert of my life, What was a Concert!! Behold the Trigon!
Train of Thought
1. As I Am
2. This Dying Soul
3. Endless Sacrifice
4. Honor Thy Father
5. Vacant
6. Stream Of Consciousness
7. In The Name Of God
Octavarium
1. The Root of All Evil
2. The Answer Lies Within
3. These Walls
4. I Walk Beside You
5. Panic Attack
6. Never Enough
7. Sacrificed Sons
8. Octavarium
Scenes From a Memory
1. Regression
2. Overture 1928
3. Strange Deja Vu
4. Through My Words
5. Fatal Tragedy
6. Beyond This Life
7. Through Her Eyes
8. Home
9. The Dance of Eternity
10. One Last Time
11. The Spirit Carries On
12. Finally Free
I know nothing can be like before, anyway.. these 3 albums really changed my point of view about a lot of things. Music is more than a fucking bitch twerking (here in Brazil we have a lot of these shit) or even more than banging the fucking head, it moves inside and out.

The Best Of 2016
The Best of this year on a view of this grumpy costumer:
Thank You Scientist - Stranger Heads Prevail
Haken - Affinity
I think I don't need to say too much about these two bands they are the most creative bands of 2016, sometimes if you like something heavier and technical you could pick up Haken, but if you want to feel an atmosphere like a big band you could get Thank You Scientist, Love these albums!
Devin Townsend Project - Transcendence: the first single of this album really blew my mind, I had never bought something of DTP, but this time I really had to honor his work buying the digital version of Transcendence, awesome!
Headspace - All That You Fear is Gone: even some haters hated this album, I really love it, the sophitiscation of it can be noticed in each song when we listen to it, great!
Myrath - Legacy: Dude, this album got the energy award, what's a blast of energy!
Fates Warning - Theories of Flight: I was not used to listen to their songs, but after this album I'm really becoming a follower, great!
Theocracy - Ghost Ship: it's there another band that I was not sympathetic, but now I'm really enjoying their work, Prog Power Kings!
Periphery III - Select Difficulty: on this album they really put the right dose of melodicism and heaviness, plus djentness, that's fucking awesome!
Animal As Leaders - The Madness of Many: I was more into Javier work than Animal as Leaders, even I listen to their previous albums, I think on this album they are really better than before, this shit is great!
Textures - Phenotype: I start this year listening to their songs and I think they are so good to be away from this list. They are really exceptional musicians!
Karmakanic - DOT: this is the best progressive rock album of this year, I fucking love this album!
Anderson/Stolt - Invention of Knowledge: perhaps I'm wrong but, even liking Anderson, I think what's best in IOK is Roine Stolt and the arrangements that probably were wrote by him, anyway it's a great album!
Honorable Mention: CM Concert was a blast, what's a flawless band!
I'd like to thanks everyone who gets here, thanks! You All Have a Great Holidays!
Meanigful Lyrics of 2016
A Faint Applause
Dot_God the Universe and Everything Else...
Higher Ground
We leave our homes, we leave our countries
Moving fast and better days
Awaits us as we cross the borders
With heavy hearts but pain decays
We're searching for a new horizon
But dark despairs corroding hand
Push us into confrontantions
Here we stand in no mans Land..

The Madness of Many
even I did not say a thing about them before, I'm used to listen to their songs, it's been a while I like their work, although this new album is really more pleasurable than their previous work, for me in this new album They are sounding more technical, melodic, classical, djent for sure, and there is something more that we can catch listening to 'The Madness of Many', for example some arpeggio that Tosin or Javier play at the end of Inner Assassins track, that's really remarkable, I really wanna buy it..
Animal as Leaders- The Madness of Many
01. Arithmophobia
02. Ectogenesis
03. Cognitive Contortions
04. Inner Assassins
05. Private Visions Of The World
06. Backpfeifengesicht
07. Transcentience
08. The Glass Bridge
09. The Brain Dance
10. Aepirophobia
Buy It!
but the insanity is we pay for it $9,99 on itunes but on 'google play br' we pay around $12,70 (42 reais), wtf?! How we should buying it if it's so expensive, also it don't come with cover art, just a few files and that's it, not cool guys, not cool..

Prog Award My Ass
Since Last Year I've been really suspicious about this Prog Award. I wonder why a lot of unknow bands get this and those bands that are really more popular did not get a thing. I mean.. Dream Theater were nomineed in three categories, dt has a lot of die-hard fans, if it was really chosen by the audience, Oh boy.. dt should've won this shit. I'm not saying that I really love the new album, that's the opposite, but They should've got it. Also Haken or even Between the Buried and Me did not get a thing. This is why I just stop to vote on these crap, mainly because it's not for real, that's not who's really great as musician who gets that, that's really who they like to win, that's not too different when compared to grammy awards, Do someone really believe that shit is for real ? I mean, Does the person who takes the prize really deserve it ? Is the music so complex and at the same time catchy that You cannot stopping to listen to it ?
Let's see the some names that Got The Prize this year:
Limelight: The Anchoress.. (here in Brazil we call it JABÁ) man, these guys should be paying a lot of Jabá for sure!
Album of The Year: Who was nomineed ?
Tesseract: Polaris
Hawkwind: The Machine Stops
Dream Theater: The Astonishing
Haken: Affinity
iamthemorning: Lighthouse
Big Big Train: Folklore
Between The Buried and Me: Coma Ecliptic
Anderson/Stolt: Invention of Knowledge
Who got this ?
iamthemorning: Lighthouse
who ?
iamthemorning: Lighthouse!
Haken ?
Between The Buried and Me ?
Thank You Scientist ? They weren't nomineed ? no shit..
You cannot even trust in a magazine to bring up something serious, that's disappointing.

Ghost Ship
Some years ago I think I heard a few songs of Theocracy, but that time I really didn't appreciate them. Weird how I get to know their new work, I was surfing with a new browser without adblock and suddenly starts an ad with Ghost Ship video, and Yeah.. that was an awesome ad! Anyway, this new album is really catching, with some great instrumental work, sometimes They're really sounding Symphonic, heavy for those who like, power, and it brings some atmosphere that leaves anyone fascinated, I'm really loving this release, fucking beautiful!
Theocracy - Ghostship
1. Paper Tiger
2. Ghost Ship
3. The Wonder of It All
4. Wishing Well
5. Around the World and Black
6. Stir the Embers

9. Castaway
10.Easter
Buy it!!!
From vision to action
There's a new story to tell
When living beyond the whishing well

Transcendence
I learned about Devin Townsend around 2012 when He released his live album (By a Thread - Live in London), I remember to hear a couple of songs (Supercrush and Numbered) of that live release and I really got excited about the musicality of him and his band, although sometimes I thought he was kinda crazy (in a good way) and genius at the same time, but the truth is DTP has this futuristic, theatrical, atmospheric and still heavy sound. They really got this unique tune that we can't figure out where we can find something like that, and probably we cannot, it's really rare and in Trancendence it's not different, that's great!
Devin Townsed Project - Transcendence
1. Truth
2. Stormbending
3. Failure
4. Secret Sciences
5. Higher
6. Stars
7. Transcendence
8. Offer Your Light
9. From the Heart
10. Transdermal Celebration
Buy It!
I won't fear this
I want to blame the world!
All these fears go alone
No..
No..
No Hope
