    I preferred Parallels for years, but Inside Out is inching up - IO's jams are a bit looser and less structured.

    Parallels features heavier riffing and an (arguably) finer production and overall sound (Terry Brown was at the helm for Parallels), and features a more consistent them and sound - better for a full-album listening experience, while I enjoy listening to individual Inside Out tracks (depending on my mood).

    Gorham is still excellent, if recent clips are any indication.

    Inside Out had a poor reputation for many years—it was criticized for being stylistically very close to Parallels, but with weaker songs. I've always liked it, though. It's definitely a continuation of the Parallels sound, but to me that's a good thing, and I think its highlights—"Outside Looking In," "Down to the Wire," "Face the Fear," "Monument"—are every bit as good as the best songs on Parallels.

    The Strand has become one of my favorite songs from Inside Out of late - I once viewed it as a bit too stylistically close to the overblown grunge sound of the time - but recent listens have revealed that there's far more layers and melodic/rhythmic shifts within The Strand than just in just about any grunge band's most experimental songs.

    Great Middle Eight section in The Strand also.

    Slightly off topic (but slightly on-topic also):

    has anyone here ever ordered band shirts/merch from HeavyRoxx?

    I thought of buying a few shirts with vintage 1980's metal album covers, but a message appears saying that "warning, site is not safe: location Bulgaria" on my screen.

    I'm less afraid of my bank account getting hacked into than I am of getting a product of low quality and shoddy appearance.

    Any input here would be helpful.

    Not at all familiar with this band but bought it off Herman Frank's (ex-Accept) website...haven't had time to listen to it yet.
    Anyone know this band? Live album seems to be a mix of their songs and Herman's solo stuff.

    Loved the Herman Frank/Wolf Hoffman guitar tandem in Accept. Not quite as "interlocking" as Smith/Murray or Downing/Tipton, but more rhythmic and propulsive often.

    I've often found that "air guitaring" along with Accept's guitar parts (rhythm guitars) is as fun as air guitaring to their lead lines.

    I guess Super Group sounds better than Geezer and three other guys.

    I know who they are, I just wouldn't put them on that level (super group). Not even close.

    They called it a supergroup when Sorum did Velvet Revolver.

    Great.

    My point is when I think of super group I think of a group like Blind Faith, for example. Top, well known musicians, from big name bands. While these two guys are pretty well known, so are a million other guys. Substitute Eddie Van Halen and Neil Peart and you have a supergroup.

    Good to see that it's not another pseudo-nu-metal GZR album.

    Randy is dead. Owens has had several projects since leaving priest and iced earth that’s been billed as a supergroup

    That lineup I posted was a joke to try to give an example of a group of guys who played in well known bands that if they joined forces would certainly not be a supergroup. I know Castillo is dead, as I've been aware of every other tidbit you've posted. For Owens to be tagged by some as a super group member pretty much backs my original point, thanks. Also, in your many replies you've conveniently not mentioned Franky Perez, the singer of this 'super group'.
