I expected to see even more progressive stuff on your list. The Impellitteri isn't much of a surprise since one of your common review comments about many bands is "I wish the guitarist would have cut loose with more solos".

Well, Veni Domine, Theocracy, Destra and Kerry Livgren all have their progressive moments. Perhaps I should have mentioned Livgren's group Proto-Kaw (which is way over the top progressive). Or even Neal Morse.
As for the guitar solo part, good observation - and I hope I am not becoming predictable in this area - but I cannot help but agree with Tall Tyrion in the Guitar Solos thread that solo breaks are an integral part of song composition. IMHO. Again, see the Guitar Solos thread. |

Understandable. It's a bit of a recent obsession/interest. I haven't been into the hard rock stuff for very long. most of the time that I've been on this board it's been CCM that I've been into but in the past year or so I've latched on to a lot of stuff like Souljourners....maybe I'm bored of CCM for now? lol |

Predictable or not, I don't see any reason for you to change. They are your reviews, your opinions. (and I don't think they are all that predictable, I have just read a lot of them).

That's cool. I think you made mention of this because the last two reviews I wrote point out either a lack of guitar solos (Scandinavian Metal Praise) or there could be more guitar solos (new HB). But both are very good albums that I felt could be better with more lead guitar- IMHO. |

For what is worth, I agree.
