"Be in My Video", while slightly dated, is a good satire on MTV of that time, the time when they had videos to be in

AstroSmurf makes even the worst games mildly palatable

Felonies ! is right

One of those things is not like the other

At least your title of "only good poster from SC" is secure

License Plate talks like he has a say in the matter

I thought Brave New World kicked the crap out of Dance of Death. I don't think there are any really memorable songs off of Dance of Death (I still think it's a decent listen as an album though) aside from "Journeyman," whereas "Wicker Man," "Dream of Mirrors," and "Blood Brothers" all resonate with me from Brave New World. The only songs I did like off BNW were "Ghost of the Navigator", "The Mercenary" and "Brave New World" (moreso the live version off RiR, as the original studio version had no energy). "Wicker Man" is one of their most overrated songs, and the rest of it was just kinda bleh. I think part of my opinion is heldover from '00 when it came out and I was cynical about the reunion, but even listening to it now my opinion hasn't changed. By contrast, it was apparent Maiden was really clicking by DoD's release, and there are far fewer "bad" (where bad by Iron Maiden standards is still better than most anything else) songs on here, IMO. The only songs I didn't care for were "No More Lies" and the title track, or rather, "Chicken Dance of Death" As for this current CD, hopefully I can finally give it a spin today and offer up my thoughts later

Anything for TSM's biggest Demons and Wizards fan Age of Mastery, Mechanized Warfare or Thane to the Throne The last one is a concept album based on Shakespeare's MacBeth

By contrast, I found DOD to be miles ahead of BNW. I notice Laz doesn't mention the new BG album. He's keeping that one for himself

The ability not to mention TSM is demonstrative of their superiority

I remember one time when Inc still had it

Remember that?

I remember one time when Inc posted something really cool

Hey, I've never seen that in a CGI movie before!

We're beginning to lap ourselves in this thread

I picked that one up too

btw, I would rank the '88 albums from best to worst as BTHW, MAJNH and TBBYNHIYL

Re: '88 band. I thought it was very much a mixed bag. The new songs (mostly on BTHW) were very well done. The old songs however, were rather hit or miss. Quite a few got a pretty good shot in the arm from the big band treatment, especially the instrumentals, but the downsides: 1. No Ray White. Ray was my favorite vocalist from the 80's trio (w/ Ike and Bobby), and the songs which Ray White had adopted in the early 80's, such as "City of Tiny Lites", "Advance Romance" and "Zomby Woof" just don't sound right without him, and whoever they had singing the songs instead (Keneally?) doesn't do them justice. 2. Too many covers. While it was interesting to hear Zappa's take on some notable 60s/70s songs, I didn't think they were all that great, and they could have been cut for other classic songs from Zappa's own collection (ex: Packard Goose) 3. Zappa had shifted from the subtler satire of, say, Joe's Garage and shifted to a more direct approach at this point, namely all the anti-Reagan songs (though to be fair he did lampoon Jesse Jackson as well), which, while good, also shows the date/age of the material. 4. "Stevie's Spanking" without Stevie? Come on... 5. Due to age and possibly the onset of disease which would kill him, Frank's guitar skills had diminished by this point, and it shows on some of the tracks. Another notable example of this was Frank not being able to pick out a good solo for "Black Napkins" on MAJNH.
