New reinvention
The perfect reception
The hero returns again
Shaking and stirring
Lines of truth blurring
The franchise is near the end
Say you'll never die forever
Promise evermore
Egos are hurting
Loyalty deserting
Meeting its match again

Ready To Lose

I used to be afflicted with an alien point of view
I used to think the legends were true
There never was any question, there never was any doubt
I knew the mantras inside and out
I'm ready to lose the battle, I'm ready to lose the war
None of it seems to matter, not like it did before
I don't wanna know your story, I don't wanna know the score
Keep the buzz away from my door
There's nothing that you can tell me I already don't wanna hear
Won't be the one to boost your esteem
I'm ready to lose the battle, I'm ready to lose the war
None of it seems to matter, not like it did before
I'm running a different direction, I'm running a different race
Got to get away from this place
Nobody saw me coming, no-one will see me leave
I've torn the heart from outside my sleeve
I'm ready to lose the battle, I'm ready to lose the war
None of it seems to matter, not like it did before

Fox among the flocks of Gilead
Held on high by wings of chariots
Covered by your shields of armoury
I will tear you down
I'll storm the pharaoh's palace
I'll fill the poisoned chalice
I'll lace the pomegranates
I'll wish you no specific harm
Merchants in your towers of ivory
Marble pillars hang in galleries
Keepers of your queens and concubines
I will tear you down
I'll storm the pharaoh's palace
I'll fill the poisoned chalice
I'll lace the pomegranates
I'll wish you no specific harm
Voice of sweetness, lips of honeycomb
Beaming with your fairest countenance
Eyes of doves in flaming coals of fire
I will wear you down
I'll storm the pharaoh's palace
I'll fill the poisoned chalice
I'll lace the pomegranates
I'll wish you no specific harm

Great & Terrible Potions

|
A spoonful of fantasy
A droplet of make believe
Splashes of meant to be
Four parts in harmony
Essence of pixie dust helps you soar ever so high
Drink me down gingerly, I'll be your best friend for life
Invent your reality
Beware of your tendencies
For memories unbearable
It's great and it's terrible
Haunted by memories
Poisoned by jealousies
Nightmares unspeakable
Ambitions unreachable
Fed by impossible visions of what might have been
Glorious futures extinguished before they begin
Invent your reality
Beware of your tendencies
For memories unbearable
It's great and it's terrible
Hold on to reality
Beware of your tendencies
For memories unbearable
It's great and it's terrible

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations.

Heart of Darkness
by Rick Miller

Ein so seltsames Album ist mir lange nicht mehr untergekommen. Der Track „Blood Of The Rose“ lässt den Hörer die Stirn in Falten ziehen. Eine zuckersüße, liebliche, kitschige Melodie dringt an das Ohr des Hörers. So säuselt der Song eine Weile vor sich hin, bis er plötzlich etwa bei Halbzeit (es handelt sich um einen 10minüter) komplett die Stimmung wechselt und plötzlich mit zupackender Gitarre und Sprech-Gesang in einen floydige Bluesrock-Hymne umschlägt... sehr kurios! (March 7, 2015)
