As the title says I recieved my signed Portal – Blood Red Tape CD, because I preordered it a long time ago. It is really an awesome album! I can recommend it to everyone that likes Progressive Metal, some tracks reminds me a little bit about tool. I won’t be reviewing the CD here, though you can find some samples on Portal’s homepage or on the Blood Red Tape homepage.
I also just recieved my Marillion – Happines Is The Road album, which I have waited a long long time to get. So far I have listened to two tracks while writing this, and so far it is likeable.
But what struck me when I opened the package was the cover of the album, it is really well made, it looks very very great, though mine got the corners banged up a bit in the shipping, but It is not that bad. Inside there are two books with loads of images, lyrics and names of everyone that pre-ordered the album. I really look forward to get home from class later today and listen to the music, cause the first couple of tracks on the first CD are quite good.
