There's an independant record store across the street from my office that sells new and used CDs. I've become friendly with the owner as he and I share a love for prog and metal (he was also at the recent Porky Tree show). I was in there on Friday and he recommended a buch of bands to me that I hadn't heard before. One of which was Threshold. I bought their latest CD, Dead Reckoning. I haven't been able to get it out of the player all weekend!
This is a great CD. It's modern day metal, very heavy in spots. But it has a bit of an 80's nostalgia to it in that it's very melodic. The store owner spun a couple of partial tracks for me before I agreed to purchase it and I described it to him as toe tapping metal. It has the hooks of some 80's hair bands, but incredibly good musicianship to make the songs more complex and interesting. Dead Reckoning is my first Threshold CD, but it won't be my last.
As an added bit of interesting but worthless trivia...I got an email from Amazon.com today with some new recommendations based on my previous purchases. At the top of the list was Dead Reckoning by Threshold...I guess it was meant to be!
