An excellent live show. Saw them live back when Act 2 was new and they were dynamite

>band uses synths so they're synthwave
how retarded can one person be lmfao
it's rock first and foremost, rock opera, with some prog and heavy rock undertones

I liked the last 3 songs of the album and The Hounds, but I agree with you otherwise. And the first album is horrible.

Still, a couple great songs is better than none.

>Act 2 release date: Sept 8, 2009
Where is Act 3? I've been waiting 10 years.

they're too busy touring over and over again. act 3 never. a man can hope, but you know what they say about that

>rock opera

holy fuck, never knew such a gay thing exists

This city's awake like a baby
Crying out of a mother's womb
Machines can keep you squinting
With the blinding fury of the endless sun
Flip a switch and turn it on
You won't be able to see
Now there's some sweet little irony

I've got this burning like my veins
Are filled with cancerous vitamin D
And with a spark it's gonna be
The lamest dawn you've ever seen
Cut me down or let me run
Either way, night must return
The only way that they'll ever learn
We gotta turn it off
Flip a switch

And darken the night
There is a mood that this sunlight can't hide
There are the embers of a feel that's gone out
But I can still feel the rain on my skin
And this mess we're in
Where you and I...
Maybe you and I...
We can make it right...
Maybe we can bring back the night

(AT THE HEART OF THE CITY)
At the heart of the city
There is a studio that looks down over all there is
(AND THE MAN IN THE STUDIO CONTROLS IT ALL)
And the man in the studio controls it all
Checking through the Bethesda checklist
(IT'S LIKE THEY'VE GATHERED UP THE CITY AND NOW)
It's like they've gathered up the city
Sold it to Rockstar and now
It looks like shit and they wonder how
(IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT AND THEY WONDER HOW OoooOOOoooOOOoooOOOH)

Well a friend once told me
Men, the solution is to gather the space-time seals
(NOW THE SEALS ARE SHIFTING OUT OF CONTROL)
Now the seals are shifting out of control
What would they do if we held them still?
(IF YOU ENCLOSE THE TIMELINE CHARTS)
If you enclose the timeline charts
We'll make sure the sunshine stays unseen
And all the daylightards get the guillotine
(AND ALL THE DAYLIGHTARDS GET THE GUILLOTINE)

We can bring back the night
(BRING BACK THE NIGHT)
There is a mood that this sunlight can't hide
There is a dark that will swallow the streets of the city
And we will stand in the dark, we will stand in the dark
You and I
You and I
We can bring back the night

These are total ass, but Built to Last and Phantom Racer are fantastic. Act 3's quality could be anywhere.

I like The Hounds a bit better than Light Up The Night, do I have shit taste?

considering breaking out is the best song on the album yes

Whatever, the game would be garbage even if it didn't look as bland as it looks now. It would still be open world trash. Nothing of value was lost.

Acceptable. To me it goes
1) Light up the Night
2) The Hounds
3) Light up the Night followed by The Fall + Here Comes The Arm
Nothing else is worth mentioning

They've apparently been recording Act III over the past year or two between tours. No real word on when they plan on dropping the album, though.

No idea why it's taken them 10 years, other than just not being in any particular hurry.

I love the song, but after putting it in my thumbs up playlist, I have started to really get sick of it
maybe it's kind of repetitive
I don't know

Their work only went downhill after ACT I.

what, literally the song right before it is very similar
the entirety of act 2 is pretty great though, act 1 is also very good with the exception of like the first and last track

Built to Last was Turbo Lover and Phantom Racer was mostly TWRP. It's not gonna be at that level without that guy unless they picked up a dude who can write time signature shifts no problem.

Hold back the night is probably my favorite song of then
if act 3 keeps this good its going to be great

Second part of Act 2 > Act 1 > First part of Act 2

This city made us is like 10x better than hold back the night honestly, I don't get your taste m8

Th first part of Act 2 is better than the second part. The Good Doctor is the best song on that album.

Seen 'em live twice. What a fucking experience.

did i get then confused?
witch one is roll singing with DR light?

100% agree with War of the Worlds

>I-I swear that I'm not a loser who listens exclusively to video game soundtracks! Look, I listen to Protomen. You know, real music, heh..

I have no lofty love to sustain, no barrage of good intentions to bestow to anyone. This world rolls and gives rise to the most vile, horrendous enterprises. I’m tired. I fling my sore body into room-after-room, feeling no real change in atmosphere, no warm coddle of summer breeze, no refreshing burst of winter air, only all these inklings of life transposed into a fugue of despair to be played incessantly from broken speakers; the hiss of it all degrades my hearing, the shine of uncertainty blinds my vision. These screens offer nothing to me now. I’ve become a transhumanist slowly erecting markets for all my worldly senses. How much longer can I buy into my own undoing?
It’s painful to see these corridors dwindle, only allowing entrance to backways where denizens clamoring for another tourist to venture too far off the designated track, to wave them into sordid dens where smoke stains wallpaper and the pipes jostle as flushes from rooms above ring in odd time signatures, and they hear the muted voices of Johns bartering, the screeches of sickness within as their joints rattle, and tongues spew forth for another hit of a rapacious drug, and all the mottled necks of rope-burned horror that lie in wait for discovery.
What are we doing with our young? As if the amalgamates of sensory perception that lied to us far too long is the only thing that matters now. They’ve been pigeon-holed into a new arena; blood becomes nothing more than a joke, the decaying headlines that screamed once; maladies that tear apart souls become ephemeral statements to a cackle of meatheads, all becoming truly mathematic, to be taken down by marketing machines that inject resort destinations, videos of well-tanned metropolitans enjoying festivals, fake resale sneakers, new courses in schools out-of-town, the promise of new coital experiences, and even the sexy allure of elbow-patched blazers after the money’s been spent. There’s just no way we can feel this undeserving.

How many lads have seen Streets of Fire? It's a fucking wild movie where they completely abandoned characters and plot to focus entirely on action.
The Protomen were inspired by the cover for this album

Jeff Waynes Musical Version of the War of the Worlds has yet to be topped imo
I forgot the title, but Ayreon have this incredible album about a dude in a coma. The album starts off about his situation, then it delves into his history with love, his parental bonds etc and eventually you learn why he's in a coma.
It's all a conversation with his subconscious, sung of course.
It's very good

I don't think that's an issue, they only really use Megaman as an easy backdrop for a robots vs humans theme

The Human Equation.
Excellent album.

What the fuck, why is so good?

The crowd had gathered there to watch him fall, to watch their hopes destroyed
They watched them beat they watched them break him,they watched his last defense deployed
There was not a man among them who would let himself be heard

We are...
We are the dead.

Danger Days is the better choice

Maybe it's just nostalgia from my emo 14 year old days but looking back the album has some nice highlights.

My Chemical Romance was never a bad band, they’re perfectly acceptable listening. They had a level of self-awareness and level of talent that shitter emo bands of the time like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan completely lacked.

why did you have to remind me that the lorax movie could have been good?

The movie was way too safe trying to appeal to everyone rather than trying to tell the message
Dr. Seuss wanted to tell, that we need to think more about how we treat the environment. oh and there was a lorax approved car, you can't make this shit up.

Check out the 1972 video on youtube. It's quite good.
Original story is a poignant tale of how greed can lead to environmental destruction. The Illumination movie tries to pretend like it gives a shit about that message but it's too retarded for that, with terrible jokes, terrible songs, terrible. The cherry on the shit is that after the movie they turned Lorax, what's meant to be the character that can talk to the trees, into a literal sponsor mascot.

>They were legit good
You dumb zoomers need to go get your own thread, they were always dogshit and will always be dogshit. Man, if you're gonna listen to emo garbage at least listen to the stuff that bothers to have interesting music behind the whining instead of the most generic shite for teen girls. I can recall some popular funeral for a friend song from back in high school that was still better than anything mcr ever shat out

To be fair, I haven't seen them talked about often in the past few years, but recently I've seen a small uptick. I think they put out a new song recently didn't they?

WHAT KIND OF MAN BUILDS A MACHINE TO KILL A GIRL

Know one of the guitarists in the band, he's a super cool dude. He'll go off and tour Europe with Scott Kelly and go play sold out shows and then come back and run his record shop like nothing. He's a super kind, humble person.

it's one of the songs they've released online from act 3, youtube it and you'll get it

What are his politics like?

No, he did not use his hands
Like a smart man, he used a tool
BUT JUST THE SAME!!!

What are his Act III like

Not sure, I've not talked to him about that. He's all about music and he's had the band I'm in play at his store so we know each other mostly through that

SO EITHER WAY YOU'RE A CAAAASUALLLTY.

>Yea Forums has better (thing) discussion than (thing's board)
is not true and never has been

oh, easy enough.

usually the former

What it means is the thread gets to be free of the entrenched bullshit garbage that comes with any board.

Eh, even in his collab band with NSP, Starbomb, he doesn't do too much singing.

Fucking this

Something like the mid point between an opera and a rave

Keep Quiet is objectively a better track than Light Up the Night, faggot

So how do we feel about The Megas

Their first couple albums are super choppy and honestly don't hold up imo, but History Repeating Blue is good and Red is actually pretty great. The fade in from The Red Song to I'm Not the Breakman is GOAT.

Hoping they eventually get around to the MMX album at some point. Been five years since they dropped Red.

HR:R > Act II > Act I > HR:B

Nightfall in Middle Earth by Blind Guardian, it covers parts of the Silmarillion, the Bible behind Lord of the Rings.
I don't think A-1 qualifies as Rock, so After School Special is more of a Concept Album, but it's still fucking great.

Are you deaf? Everything starting from Breaking Out til the end of the album is some of the best rock opera schlock ever recorded

Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa.

this is it lads, we did it.
we found the shittiest opinion ever typed on Yea Forums

how come nobody has made a similar band but for X and the other games in the series?

They're great. Also just discovered Rockman Holic, holy shit.

I dont know if it counts but zen arcade by husker du is a great fucking punk rock opera

I liked some of the songs, but there's a lot of filler

Hated them at first, then slowly fell in love with them over time, just ordered their casette with skull mans songs and some of their belmonts music too, good shit

not a lot, I think 3 or 4 songs are a bit of filler

that's fair

lol

I'm still lusting after that breakdown lever action he gets before they raid the gang's compound.

You're forgetting A Night of Queen, but he probably didn't listen to that.
It's almost perfect, but they need someone else to play Bowie's part in Under Pressure.

I wish we had a George Strait and Cody Jinks thread, but Protomen is pretty decent.

Kill 'em all

Mankind's reluctance to take action really irks me.
Better to go out in a blaze than to live in shackles.

I still like the first album but the two History Repeating albums are a big improvement and legit super good, their EPs since then have all been pretty solid too so I'm just waiting for whatever they decide to do as their next full album. Also the EP they did with Megatainment is super good, the Wily song on that is one of my favorites.

Queen is rock opera. There you hate queen. Therefore you are an absolute faggot.

Act II is the better album overall but the last couple tracks on Act I are unbeatable for me, what a way to fucking end an album.

He's got the best song in the whole thing too

I saw them live last month and Kilroy hugged me after the show, was really good.

Judas' Death is also fantastic. He really pulls that despair in his voice.
Also I wonder the shitstorm that would happen if this was done nowadays, with the black guy being the bad guy.

>black guy being the bad guy
Judas wasn't a bad guy.

I think the announcer is actually the TWRP guy, he sounded the same live.

I remember once seeing an old article from the time complaining about just that.
You might think it seems crazy now. But bear in mind that time was the height of Black Panther.

Anyways Pontius Pilate by Barry Dennan is the best in the film.

I guess it depends on who you ask but the name Judas isn't used as an endearing term.

>But bear in mind that time was the height of Black Panther.
It does make sense. Although I think back then they had a better argument instead of what would happen today, which would be more typical cancel culture outrage instead of actual arguments.
Pilate's Dream is really good. I'm not too much into musicals with only a couple of exceptions but this one is a personal favorite.

Okay, calm down Martin Luther.
