Not sure how it could be seen as filler, but all right.

My thoughts exactly. To me the second-half medley is the showcase of the album.

Asia - XXX
8/10

Excellent neo-prog / AOR, and one of the band's better albums.


Baroness - Yellow & Green
9.5/10

Oh wow. Looks like we have another AOTY contender on our hands.

Asia's XXX is muy bueno, glad other people enjoy it

My thoughts exactly. To me the second-half medley is the showcase of the album.

The Abbey Road Medley is probably my favorite Beatles song, or songs. Whatever you want to call it.

Haken - Visions (8/10)

A great sophomore album from the prog-metal powerhouse. Filled with a great mix of shorter songs and epics.

Steven Wilson - Insurgentes (8.5/10)

Dramatic and dark, typical SW. which he would carry forward in his projects. This album is very good, but is nowhere near as good as his 2011 album Grace for Drowning.

Keith Tippett Group - Dedicated to You, But You Weren't Listening (7.75/10)

A good album from Keith Tippett. Some avant-garde influence is shown throughout, as well as some modal solos. This album would foreshadow Tippett's next huge project Centipede and their only album, Septober Energy.

Robert Glasper - Black Radio (9/10)

Bringing elements of smooth jazz and rap together to make one great mix, and a good tribute to black musicianship as well. This album has a ton of guest stars, such as Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, and Eryka Badu. Amazing work here.

Pink Floyd - The Man and the Journey, Holland 1970 (7/10)

One of the rarer Pink Floyd recordings, of their infamous Man and the Journey set. Provides a great look into pre-Meddle PF, and also exhibits their great ability to stretch some of their older pieces to create an amazing setting.

The Kooks - Junk of the Heart

9.5/10

[FlyGuyLXI]

They consist of miniature compositions of the most plain caliber, even for the Beatles, some of which are considered unfinished. They knew they had a mess so they made it into this so called "Abbey Road Medley" like shoving a bunch of shirts in a drawer.

*Gasp*. Pure genius!

[Mega-Tallica]

Hellyeah - Band Of Brothers 2/10

They somehow managed to get worse which I didn't think was possible after the abysmal Stampede album. It's time to drop this half-assed act for the masses and get Mudvayne rolling again.

They've done it with multiple songs, such as "I've Got A Feeling", "I Am The Walrus", "A Day In The Life", etc. so Abbey Road was their final composition, and they wanted to end it on a high note, so of you wish to perceive it as them cramming songs together that's fine, but they were working out the kinks as they went along. (Her Majesty was originally after Mean Mr Mustard, but cut out of the mix. It was them taking all of their ideas they had floating around, and giving it a sound.

Nonetheless, i respect your thoughts so I'm not trying to argue with you if it comes off that way.

Now that I'm finally weeding out the songs that I dislike from Clockwork Angels, I might as well finally do the Clockwork Angels rankings:

Caravan
Headlong Flight
The Anarchist
Clockwork Angels
Seven Cities Of Gold
Carnies
The Wreckers
Halo Effect
Wish Them Well
BU2B2
The Garden
BU2B

Anything not green is now deleted from my iPod. That being said, this album is amazing. Like completely amazing.

[seriousbusson]

That's a lot of reds from an amazing album.

[Cipher_Peon]

You mean, that's a lot of greens from an amazing album.
