Four bands who released there sophomore album.
What's your favorite album of Harmony, Letter 7, Nailpoint or Red?
Is the first the best, or you like the second album much more or you say I like them both.

Harmony:
- Dreaming Awake
- Chapter II: Aftermath

Letter 7:
- Salt Of The Earth
- Follow The Light

Nailpoint:
- Freedom
- Falling To Pieces

Yes, I know Nailpoint released an EP too.
I only mean full length releases this time.

Red:
- End Of Silence
- Innocense And Instinct

Harmony - favorite is definately Dreaming Awake. The new album isn't bad, but just not as many "hooks"

Letter 7 - I can't pick, I think they are both fantastic.

Nailpoint - I haven't even heard the new album yet so I can't decide.

Red (no red in my coolection, not really a fan).

Harmony - Dreaming awake - It seemed like they were more creative with the slow-fast contrast.

Letter 7 - Salt of the Earth - I like the vocals better.

Nailpoint - Falling to Pieces - Better production and the vocals were on pitch a lot more than on Freedom.

Red - ??? - I REALLY liked them both and can't quite decide which one I like better. They both have songs I could listen to hour upon end and they each have a couple I don't really care for. Although I really like the concept of I&I, If I had to choose Id say End of Silence just because I can connect with the songs more.

I can only comment on Harmony, and I would have to say "Dreaming Awake" for the same reason Staybrite mentioned.

Here's my votes:

Harmony:
- Dreaming Awake

Letter 7:
- Follow The Light

Nailpoint:
- Falling To Pieces

Red:
- End Of Silence


The first Harmony disc just has bigger hooks to me. With Letter 7, I like the new singer better. Also, the recording just sounds even better! While I liked the lyrical direction of "Freedom" by Nailpoint, I think their new sound is absolutely cooler. And, with Red, the songs on their debut resonate with me better. Musically, both discs are about the same, but that's the problem with their new one. I feel like I've already heard this. They took no chances and tried nothing new. I have already grown bored with it.

Dreaming Awake
Follow the Light
Freedom
End of Silence (only because I haven't listened to more than the single yet from the new one)

It seems I'm not alone in the fact that so many new music sounds the same.

I like the debut CDs of Harmony, Letter 7, Nailpoint and Red.

Not sure why everyone isn't digging on "Chapter II: The Aftermath" - it's fantastic! Definitely one of the top power/prog metal releases of 2008, along w/ Theocracy's new one, Menahem, and Random Eyes' new album.

Theocracy's is clearly superior to any of those. The new Harmony is good but I think it lacked the emotion and variety of the first one.

I had only previously heard Nailpoint's The Road Less Traveled and can honestly say without a doubt in my mind, Falling to Pieces is 100% better than that album. Also I think I am liking Red's new album more. Maybe it's just me but it seems they cutback a little on the orchestration and just rocked more. It's still there just not as much

Theocracy's album is absolutely awesome. My joint album of 2008. As for Harmony, the new album was good, but because of the lack of hooks on alot of the tracks I just ended up pressing 'skip' once too often. End Of The Road is probably the most hook laden track on the album. Still, it's a good album.
