Pumpkins United lineup of Helloween second album has dropped, Giants & Monsters.

Bonus CD Tracklist:
One thing for sure that this record is not a rehash of 2021 Helloween album.
Metallica released its sixth full length album “Load” on June 4, 1996. That’s a little over 30 years ago. 😱
Earlier today we received the Deluxe Box Set of “Load” (Remastered).
There are some amazing songs off this record and some of them still take repeated listening to enjoy.
Well, here’s to King Nothing!
It started with a certain Johann Sebastian Bach piece in G Major, without proper reference I transposed the piece to E Major by memory, of course I did not play the piece properly since I don’t really have any references other than listening to it on some videos I came across on a show.
Funny how I ended up wandering from Major to Minor, and rediscovering a song from early 1990s.
Maybe I’ll record a video of me doing the exercise, next. Maybe.
Assuming I tuned my guitar correctly, the opening theme of Daredevil: Born Again starts with C, A♭, F, G.
One official day listening to Dream Theater album number 16: “Parasomnia”.
“Parasomnia” Deluxe Edition comes with CD of the album, CD contains instrumental version of the album, and Blu-ray contains Dolby Atmos & 5.1 Surround Sound, High-Resolution Stereo Mixes, animated visualizers for each song.
The best part of “Parasomnia” Deluxe Edition is the Instrumental version of the CD. I’ve acquired Dream Theater’s album releases with Instrumental mixes whenever they were made available. My personal collections of Dream Theater releases with Instrumental mixes:
Parasomnia tracklist:
Right if the bat, the record contains 2 Instrumental tracks out of 8. That leaves 6 other tracks that have the different Instrumental mixes. Still worth getting the Deluxe Edition of the record.
On another note, the artworks in the Deluxe Edition are underwhelming. Blame that on the overused Computer Generated Slops, also known as AI Generated Slops.
I both like and feeling underwhelmed by this record. Probably I’ve become jaded when it comes to Dream Theater’s music.
It is February 7, 2025 and Dream Theater new record “Parasomnia” is officially released. It is the first record by the band since their founding member and drummer who left in 2010, rejoined the band in 2023.
“There you go, Mike’s back replacing Mike who replaced the first Mike in the first place.”
With return of Portnoy in the band, this record is highly anticipated by fans. Three songs from the record were previously released:
The first single, Night Terror, showed a glimpsed of the reunion; which seemed to miss none of the beat in the last 14 years. The second and third single reaffirmed that sentiment.
Now the record is finally released, fans get to listen to the rest of the songs. For diehard Dream Theater fans, I recommend listening to the instrumental versions of the record, which is available in the Deluxe edition.
The crew at Guns N’ Roses sent two music boxes for their “Nightrain” community.
First music box played melody from their 2024 single “The General”, made available for Nightrain packages, Standard and Premium.
Then, there’s the second music box, which they said are given to randomly selected Nightrain members who purchased the premium packages.
Also as a surprise, the package comes with a poster.
