4 stars Great record
"Octane" by Spocks Beard is much better than Feel Uphoria. It seems they are finding their footing after the departure of Neal Morse. I still think it lacks the "soul" of previous Spocks Beard records but I believe they have found a great direction and should continue down that road. Nick is getting better as a singer and his drumming speaks for itself. Dave, Alan and Ryo are always at their best and on "Octane" they continue to shine.

4 stars Bueno
Para los amantes de SB sin duda que es un CD muy bueno. Para los de mente fría, encontrarán que este nuevo trabajo empieza con tres grandes temas, muy entretenidos, variados y progresivos, con muy buenas melodías y que a medida de que va transcurriendo el CD va desmejorando hasta llegar a la LATA de los dos ultimos temas, los cuales se enmarcan dentro de un pop poco atractivo y sin belleza en su composición, totalmente repetitivo. Esto deja un gusto amargo, es como el Campari, que al principio es dulce y al final termina amargo. Menos mal que compré la edición de 2 CDs, pues el CD Nº2, dura solo 27 minutos de audio, pero afortunadamente trae 5 temas muy buenos y 3 estractos de orquestaciones muy interesantes. Yo habría quitado algunos de los temas lateros del CD original y los hubiera cambiado por temas que vienen en el bonus CD. No esperen escuchar a los SB de Neal, este SB corresponde a otros musicos, por momentos extraordinarios y por momentos lateros. Pero en general creo que queda un gusto mas bien positivo, para mi este CD es mejor que el anterior, trae elementos mas progresivos e interesantes. Dura un total de 55 minutos con 12 temas y el Bonus dura 27 minutos con 8 temas mas un video. Saludos progresivos.

This double set did the band justice. To me this is a much better outing than their first attempt without Neal. I am glad to see they evolved, and I would highly recommend these disks.

I like the fact that they're willing to change but they seem to have forgot what made them great.

5 stars Terrific.
My favourite 'Beard album and a big step up from the first post Morse set. This is the album that secured me as a fan - don't listen to the negatives, this is really good stuff, extremely well played.

Considering their cinematic scope, it's fitting that the songs on DEADWING were actually inspired by a film script written by Porcupine Tree mastermind Steven Wilson. Not that this should come as any surprise to longtime fans who know the UK act's reputation for churning out epic progressive rock so sonically descriptive that it's practically visual. Porcupine Tree creates works with complex structures that do not alienate or obscure the songs themselves, pieces that are dark and psychedelic without being sinister. On the 12-minute opening title track, weighty guitar riffs and spacious synths immediately recall Nine Inch Nails, but swooping melodic changes give way to ambient passages, making it plain that this is no industrial-rock rip-off. "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" begins with processed backwards guitar, building into a harmony-fueled crescendo before dropping off completely to reveal sparse picking over loops and clicks. Guests Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth) and Adrian Belew (King ...

Dream Theater Octavarium CD  (2005)

Octane songs
CD $10.65  4.2 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
As the sole major-label progressive-metal act, Dream Theater invariably set the standard as the flagship band of the genre. With the numerically themed OCTAVARIUM (including eight tracks signifying the band's eighth release) the shred-rock quintet continues to challenge themselves creatively. Opening track "The Root Of All Evil" picks up the thread that began with "The Glass Prison" (SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE) and carried forward to "This Dying Soul" (TRAIN OF THOUGHT). Drummer Mike Portnoy's lyrics for these songs read like a set of deeply personal journal entries documenting his painful recovery experience, further disclosed by a footnote nod to Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson. OCTAVARIUM chiefly finds Dream Theater stepping back ...

Octane CD music
CD $9.99  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Recorded between 1967 & 1987. Includes liner notes by James Austin. Even though the two-disc WHAT A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN may have more fully anthologized the Grateful Dead's fruitful Warner years, no previous anthology has ever summarized the band's entire career, on through the slim-pickin's mid-1970s to their celebratory late-'80s comeback. In this respect, THE VERY BEST OF... can be called a nearly definitive collection. Still, this is an entry point for the casual passerby, so the psychedelic largesse of the Dead's late-'60s albums is entirely eschewed in favor of the shorter, more concise songs of their folk-rock period ("Uncle John's Band," "Friend of the Devil," etc.). Consequently, this becomes a tribute not to the improvisational warrior Dead but to the creatively songful Dead, even as we hear them age gracefully into the older, wiser "Touch of Gray," which brought them a whole new generation of admirers. All tracks have been remastered using HDCD technology. Incl.1 ...
